thread of miguel

yall love it cos it sounds like steely dan, come clean already

:|

i really should finally listen to steely dan

!!

if something sounded like steely dan i'd readily admit that that's why i like it!

god now i really would give anything to hear The Dukes Of September run through "Do You" now though

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

the keyboards and drums on the 'live' version sound so gross and depressing

removing that would also unencumber 'pussy is mine' from deep cut to light outro closer

ah fuckit ima do it

haha yes

i would guess will hate the dan but can't be sure.

i dunno, lex likes tom waits and leonard cohen, could be a good fit

which era should we start him out with?

prob gaucho

i love this steely dan cover

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

this album sounds a lot better on speakers than on headphones imo, and like to a weird extent

yeah it's true

I dont know how I forgot about the slap bass; I do love that. Was way rong and take it all back.

DON'T
LOOOOOOK
BAAAACK

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.

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.

he has short stubby legs, just like me. protip miguel: get your pants hemmed longer

his guitarist

the WORST guitar face

in every performance/video, always, the worst

yeah he really is mr. guitar face that guy

just listened to this record finally last night, its really good!

Miguel is definitely a fancier lesbian than Ellen

love how "Adorn" live performances have progressively gotten more swagged out over the last few months

Nice to know that hits matter.

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?

enforce a dress code, miguel

sup ellen!

Noted heterosexual Amelia Earhart.

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

how can you guys even pay attention to that stuff

now i'm scared to see shipley's drummer face

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

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
