Hah awesome, love the title/art. Just trying to think what the cover reminds me of...some early-to-mid 80s early CD art by an established artist, no?

RIP indie
can't believe jams sold out and went w/ an unironic corporate buzztitle and decided to be inspired by franz ferinand

looks like "this" isnt happening at all, unless "this" is "a corporate buzztitle"

D'oh for being the only person who likes the cover. It's no New Amerykah pt 2, but I think it's dapper.
ILM cynicism strikes again!

i believe that was inspired by franz ferdinand as well

seriously lj, do you sometimes sit there and think to yourself "let's see, what is the most speciously infuriating thing I could write to make my fellow posters sprain their eyeballs from reflexive rolling" before you post?
― STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:14 (fourteen years ago) link
hahaha at Bowie travelling forward in time and being inspired by Franz.

franz ferdinand was born way the fuck before bowie

Also was about to say it reminded me of Low onwards Bowie, later period Roxy Music and suited-and-booted New Pop.

the vocal harmonies are great, definitely a lodger thing going on
but yeah i'm put off that the shout is "drunk girls" but that probably doesn't matter
― goole, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:17 (fourteen years ago) link
the thing is, a certain proportion of girls at any given time are in fact drunk, so ... it's not offensive

Is This It is such a look-what-a-hip-hyped-new-band-we-are-and-this-album-will-be-huge title. Don't know about corporate buzzkill though.

there's surely something offensively platitudinous about 'This Is Happening', isn't there? any album-title you could conscionably add 'yeah' on the end of in regular speech isn't worth adopting imo
oh ok i am lolling

ozymandias' labia pt. I: the cum-drops of evermore, yeah?

The problem with that proscription is that you can add "yeah" on the end of anything.

xpost Come on it's Jams Murphy - he subject to different criteria. Every gesture he makes is filtered through this jokey/sincerity dichotomy. I'd agree if like Sufjan or Lady Gaga called their hotly-anticipated album 'This is Happening'.
Although i kind of see yr point.
