Oh that's the story. Huh. I heard that on the local pop station the other day and was a little baffled.

the folk process is still alive and well. it would be heartwarming if it weren't so nauseatingly twee.

To be fair, no twee-er than a lot of early 60s folk-pop, New Christy Minstrels et al.

i still really like their first single "It's Time," though, that's one good-ass generic movie trailer-sounding song.
definitely

i think it's kendricks "soulful" would-be blue notes that make her version hard to take

I've been really not listening to these guys a lot for the past few months. Pretty good so far.
I saw a magazine today that had a picture of them. The singer plays a big bass drum, or so I assume.

was listening to the radio today and a truly horrible rock song came on.My wife asked "Who is this?" and I said, "I don't know probably Imagine Dragons or something."the DJ later confirmed that I was right.

somewhat reminiscent of that famous Nick Cave quote -- "I'm forever near a stereo saying, 'What the fuck is this garbage?' And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers."

:( I wonder how those girls are doing. The girls who made the first video. Paid? I hope so. I like their version. I don't know what it is that makes Anna Kendrick's version sound like Edward Sharpe, I think there is some "cell phone ad" production trick in place that I bet one could figure out if one were to play these songs on studio monitors but I would rather leave that mystery undiscovered

Heard the new song from these people on the radio, and I just knew it was their new song. It was like this perfect conflation of Maroon 5, fun., One Republic and other ... stuff.

"Demons"? i dunno what's very fun. (or "fun") or Maroon 5 about that one.

I was thinking the vocals specifically, the same sort of not soulful singing from the soul, with massed sort of pinched high anono vocals

I wonder if this one will also be in the top 20 for an entire year like the last horrible song.

I'm glad I haven't heard "Radioactive" in a long while. That song was starting to make me suicidal.

"Demons" has been on the chart for 34 weeks and is still rising, from #7 to #6 this week. We're probably in for another yearlong Imagine Dragons track.

This is the thread where we never listen to Imagine Dragons
^ this song (Anna Kendrick's Cups, not imagine dragons, obvs) is being taught in our nation's schools. My 4th-grader brought it home with him and this is the rhythm that's been driving our weekend.
