"Call Me" vs. "Call Me Maybe"

i forget who said this, but there's a quote i ran across recently: people who say they aren't misogynists mean women their own age; go 20 years in either direction and the story changes.

but does anyone on ILX listen to music marketed to tween boys? some dude excepted.

I like a lot of Green Day and Linkin Park

also Awolnation

I still listen to The Cure.

it's an interesting question. idk if hardrock/chartrock/poppunk stuff is as strongly coded to age.

there are also a bunch of ppl on the boards who will defend Rick Ross and Soulja Boy

ppl even dig Drake and Chris Brown

but does anyone on ILX listen to music marketed to tween boys? some dude excepted.

most of ILM, dude

people on this board have such an asinine, self-serving idea of how what i listen to is different from what they listen to

Not sure I'd call it 'self-serving' (though I have in fact congratulated myself recently on not listening to Train)

sorry al. I wasn't trying to be a dick.

it's cool, moment of haughtiness, i've put it behind me

and yeah the Cure are a pretty teenagery band. their audience is pretty gender-neutral though. Rick Ross and Soulja Boy I'll definitely concede.

SD, you seem more than almost anyone else on her to be involved in your local scene, not only the diff't types of people making music in Baltimore, but you even some attuned to like the radio programming, the rap stations, the rock stations, the pop stations, which is where I thought most of your interest in the various Billboard charts and the championing of certain quote-unquote uncool radio fare had its roots in the first place. You seem really into how music shapes and is shaped by your immediate environment, in what almost seems like a psychogeographical sense. That's kind of super-awesome imo (though I'm probably way off tbh)

that's very kind of you to say. i'll allow you to continue not listening to Train.

would not call rick ross music marketed to teen boys

i'll rep for "bonfire"

would not call rick ross music marketed to teen boys

he gets his big tits out often enough

It is faintly fucking hilarious that people will actually try and represent that teenboy coded music is not at all represented on a board that spends as much time discussing and addressing *metal* as ILM.

But, y'know... cat, pigeons, and a whole lot of squawking would probably be the result if I went any further with that sentiment.

brb just died laughing (xpost)

I like both of these songs, and also Robyn.

Didn't see it, but Nightline had a story on "Call Me Maybe" last night. Elsewhere, Ted Koppel died a thousand deaths.

i'm enjoying this lots

Man, by the end that's abrasive and hypnotic and incredible.

Nuff said.

damn, you know what's a motherfucking EAR WORM?

i voted for "call me" without hesitation or regret, and it's not like i'd do any different now, but i've come to like "call me maybe" a hell of a lot more than i did at first. doesn't have anything on blondie's seductive rush, but it does a damn good job of capturing the dizzy buzz of new infatuation. and it gets stuck in my head real bad. tbh, i think silly videos of people singing along to it helped sell me. like how watching a dumb comedy with a happy crowd is always better than home alone.

recently found out that "call me" is produced by giorgio moroder

and it is! he's done some good work.

you can just barely tell on the single but his influence on this extended version is prominent (bit too much so maybe)

most underrated part of this thread was when frogbs thought lex was a woman

tbh, i think silly videos of people singing along to it helped sell me.

I didn't need this to love the song but I agree that there's something quite endearing about people singing along to it, especially how it seems to reduce otherwise very macho looking guys to making fools of themselves.
