if something sounded like steely dan i'd readily admit that that's why i like it!
― some dude, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
god now i really would give anything to hear The Dukes Of September run through "Do You" now though
― some dude, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
is that a demurral then
i don't and i won't but if i were to delete one thing off this lp it'd be 'candles in the wind', p much hate that shit in any version
― r|t|c, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:31 (eleven years ago) link
the keyboards and drums on the 'live' version sound so gross and depressing
― some dude, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
removing that would also unencumber 'pussy is mine' from deep cut to light outro closer
ah fuckit ima do it
― r|t|c, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
haha yes

It can't have too many guitars or "rock" so scratch the first two.

No I'm never gonna do it without The Lex on Oh no

The moment when that slap bass enters the song = best of the year.

one of the few times i get mad at the sonic limitations of my car stereo
― some dude, Sunday, 9 December 2012 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
this album sounds a lot better on speakers than on headphones imo, and like to a weird extent
― flopson, Sunday, 9 December 2012 20:06 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it's true
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 9 December 2012 20:08 (eleven years ago) link
I dont know how I forgot about the slap bass; I do love that. Was way rong and take it all back.

yes this sounds incredible on good speakers so many things i missed listening through my headphones until i put this on on my computer, and these speakers aren't even THAT good

imo it's all about the interaction between the slap bass and those heavy drums. it's the rhythms of late-90s r&b but with a completely different sonic palette.
as far as "Pussy Is Mine", this is all that really needs to be said about its greatness:

reminds me of a hilarious Wendy & Lisa interview
Did you first think Prince was gay? Lisa: He was little and kinda prissy and everything. But he's so not gay.Wendy: He's a girl, for sure, but he's not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman.Lisa: Totally. He's like a fancy lesbian.
― some dude, Monday, 10 December 2012 01:13 (eleven years ago) link
haha, I was going to say "like Prince!"
I'm totally willing to settle for the "Miguel is a fancy lesbian" explanation of God, the Universe, and Everything.

his guitarist

the WORST guitar face
in every performance/video, always, the worst
yeah he really is mr. guitar face that guy
― J0rdan S., Monday, 10 December 2012 15:22 (eleven years ago) link
just listened to this record finally last night, its really good!
― ciderpress, Monday, 10 December 2012 15:24 (eleven years ago) link
Miguel is definitely a fancier lesbian than Ellen
love how "Adorn" live performances have progressively gotten more swagged out over the last few months
― some dude, Monday, 10 December 2012 15:25 (eleven years ago) link
Nice to know that hits matter.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 10 December 2012 15:31 (eleven years ago) link
also annoying that miguel always looks fly and his musicians are like -- the guitarist looks like hes in a christian rock band. and the fucking dj is wearing an amerlia earhart hat?
― max, Monday, 10 December 2012 15:34 (eleven years ago) link
enforce a dress code, miguel
sup ellen!

yahhhh, those guitar faces have been a thorn in my side all year

how can you guys even pay attention to that stuff
― some dude, Monday, 10 December 2012 17:05 (eleven years ago) link
now i'm scared to see shipley's drummer face
― J0rdan S., Monday, 10 December 2012 17:06 (eleven years ago) link
ha i just mean the camera's on miguel 90% of the time and he's amazing, i wouldn't have even noticed the band members if y'all weren't talking about them
― some dude, Monday, 10 December 2012 17:10 (eleven years ago) link
this fucking performance! dude's confidence has gone through the roof

My Mans Miggy!
some of the other live clips have been way worse in showcasing the awful guitar face. that show in new york that was livestreamed was like the full introduction to his guitarist's visual awfulness.

Nah Mig gets the Bryan Ferry Rule: at all times hire men dorkier and uglier than you

yeah basically i noticed how bad it was during the letterman perf i think and now i cant stop seeing it in all the videos. some of them try to hide it but the guy cant not do the guitar face

his keyboardist and drummer seem to get away with being fairly nondescript
