On a Manicure tip, this Ponibbi mix that came out a couple of weeks ago is great:

who were they trying to reach that hasn't heard the song already in filming a "hey qt" video?

not sure but i heard it on radio 1 the other night

video is great

love that this song is now 'a thing'

hurrah and huzzah!

the video is its own work and part of their performance aesthetic

hahahaha

'Everything In Its Right Place' was actually the first one that sprang to mind when I read the thread title!

the skits on GFOTY's dog food mix are insane and hilarious

sorry to get all Chris Ott here, but it's unfuckingbelievable to me that I can count at least three "tastemaking" music websites staffed with living breathing 30-somethings can actually feign excitement over underdone, underdeveloped bullshit like witch house and chillwave.

very much in character

GFOTY is kinda my fav rapper rn

Pfork review for PC Music Vol 1 is amazing
Don't know if the music can live up

everything she said was true IMO it just ... doesnt sell me on it being good

This piece has divided opinion. I enjoyed reading it.

things that just have to be tim and eric skits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36UUyQoYE1s

got invited to a big chanel runway show in seoul last night for an article, and they used a ton of pc music throughout the presentation. worked so well i'm tempted to say the clothes were directly inspired by them. hearing "beautiful" blare on a perfect system while watching plastic people/clothes strut by straight fucked me up :'(

xp: There's a natural affinity/influence. Wareheim introduced the sets when PC Music visited LA.

oh for sure

lolol of course they're using an Alessi kettle

"beautiful" is all i give a fuck about right now. guetta and skrillex influences are so clear in the best way possible

Listening to Vol. 1 whenever I get in the car. I know I'm going to burn out on it but listening to anything else just doesn't feel right.

if nothing else, am very happy 'Beautiful' is finally on Spotify
hadn't heard easyFun before, 'Laplander' is an awesome album closer

re: "beautiful," someone on lastfm said "it kinda sounds like air france (on plastic steroids)." <3 ;_; <3

i think SOPHIE is maybe only affiliated with rather than a full on member of the PC Music collective, but here's a live version of one of his songs with Charli XCX: https://soundcloud.com/prayzuz/make-it-right

deej otm

The crowd, skewing mostly young, included members who had driven from far out of town to come see the event. The internet was on everyone’s mind, and everyone’s lips. One duo of young men spoke of not wanting to miss the next trend, as they were “too young for seapunk”. Another member of the crowd successfully predicted that Dev Hynes would be skating up to the event about a minute before he actually did; he had just read the dispatch on Twitter

the internet is on my lips

Based on that review, live show sounds really lame.

isn't part of the point of all this that it's taking the rise out of 'the next trend'?

“too young for seapunk”

The compilation is amazing, of course. In My Dreams is stellar. I want more.

Of course, it's all insensitive inauthentic shit made by privileged people that I should be ashamed about enjoying

are you trying for some latterday carlin of pissy triangulated resentment aesthetics here

yes

The crowd, skewing mostly young, included members who had driven from far out of town to come see the event.

huge if true

We can report that the crowd included women and, indeed, also some men.

meaghan garvey w/ knives out for this shit

If anything, PC Music’s current take on digital maximalism functions similarly to something like normcore, the wryly “neutral” cool-kid fashion trend that made headlines last year. To an uncritical eye, both are indistinguishable from the values and aesthetics of the mainstream; both use normative culture as their source material, repurposed into something that is supposedly more artful, unique, and valuable. (Thus: $200 mom jeans, or $20 cans of what is probably re-packaged Diet Red Bull.) ... these metamodern modes of expression and critique lose their purpose once they become indiscernible from the culture they reflect. "Divisive" as PC Music has set out to be (a designation that’s as much bullshit shorthand for "primo think piece fodder" as it is accurate), they subvert nothing, nor do they add anything to the discussion beyond noise. They merely reflect the flat, bright, incessant, corporatized banalities of the current age, with all the insight and nuance of clickbait—"This Woman Wore a Fat Suit to Understand Prejudice and You’ll Never Guess What She Experienced" levels of duh.

fucking idiocy

am neither here/there on pc music but many ppl are here, figured i'd throw it out

*out there

"they subvert nothing, nor do they add anything to the discussion beyond noise" That's pretty much my take.

The idea that it can be subverting the mainstream is laughable when most pop listeners don't even know it exists.

perhaps it isn't really trying to subvert anything

perhaps jaded music-critic types like ms garvey are incapable of recognising when fun is being had

That's cool. If it's fun it's fun. But a lot of the reviews and interviews pivot on this idea that it's subversive and that's what Meaghan Garvey's addressing. I'll leave aside the idea that only the jaded don't find PC Music enjoyable.

of course, but only the jaded could write that article

She actually says this herself btw: "Some of the songs are pretty fun and they’re definitely well-crafted, but it’s hard to consider them as standalone pieces divorced from the surrounding conceptual hijinx—which of course, they were never intended to be."

can't believe some people are comparing this crap to Aqua!
