i mean hes wearing a suit

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:07 (fourteen years ago) link

RIP indie

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:07 (fourteen years ago) link

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

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:07 (fourteen years ago) link

corporate buzztitle

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:08 (fourteen years ago) link

oh good, there's enough zinging going on here to cover me too

good looking out, guys! ^_^

STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:08 (fourteen years ago) link

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

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:08 (fourteen years ago) link

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!

Davek (davek_00), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:12 (fourteen years ago) link

I like the cover

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:12 (fourteen years ago) link

i would love it, if it werent inspired by franz ferdinand

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:13 (fourteen years ago) link

^^^remembers when indie wasn't dead

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:13 (fourteen years ago) link

reminds me a lot of lodger : david bowie.

mark e, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:13 (fourteen years ago) link

i believe that was inspired by franz ferdinand as well

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:14 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Davek (davek_00), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:15 (fourteen years ago) link

franz ferdinand was born way the fuck before bowie

egregious apostrophising (schlump), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:16 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Davek (davek_00), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:16 (fourteen years ago) link

and his death inspired bowie's nazi period

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:17 (fourteen years ago) link

can't believe LCD is inspired by Beck

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:17 (fourteen years ago) link

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

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:19 (fourteen years ago) link

how many photos will be subjected to tilted chiaroscuro shops with 'corporate buzztitle' annotations in the coming months

nakhchivan, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:20 (fourteen years ago) link

zero

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:20 (fourteen years ago) link

damn

nakhchivan, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:22 (fourteen years ago) link

no ILM meme potential sorry

TVOTR release new album 'Everyone Together' ft. b/w Tunde reclining on bed of blank CDs

STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:25 (fourteen years ago) link

which buzztitle is the most corporate:

  • this is happening, by lcd soundsystem
  • is this it, by the strokes
  • franz ferdinand, by the franz ferdinand
  • smells like teen spirit, by nirvana
  • meet the beatles, by the beatles
  • the fifth symphony, by beethoven

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:26 (fourteen years ago) link

also pretty sure Tunde is just b

STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:26 (fourteen years ago) link

smells like teen spirit, by Beethoven

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:26 (fourteen years ago) link

smells like a corporate buzztitle

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:27 (fourteen years ago) link

also pretty sure Tunde is just b

I was thinking of making this joke, but then I didn't

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:27 (fourteen years ago) link

dude missed out on the prized l0u1s jagg3r demographic by not calling his album "ozymandias' labia pt. I: the cum-drops of evermore"

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:27 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Davek (davek_00), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:28 (fourteen years ago) link

"ozymandias' labia pt. I: the cum-drops of evermore"

holy fucking lol

STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:28 (fourteen years ago) link

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

j0rdslovesomedude (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link

LOLias of Sunhillow

Bonnie Prince Stabby (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link

any album-title you could conscionably add 'yeah' on the end of in regular speech isn't worth adopting imo

your mind works in such bizarre ways

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link

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

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link

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

xp: dammit max I was about to post that

STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link

there's surely something offensively platitudinous about 'This Is Happening', isn't there?

no not really

goole, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:32 (fourteen years ago) link

guys I'm not sure but I think there might be a song called "yeah"

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:32 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Davek (davek_00), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:32 (fourteen years ago) link

the title is fairly crap but i don't think it's worth getting offended over

nakhchivan, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:33 (fourteen years ago) link

jam smurphy

nakhchivan, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:34 (fourteen years ago) link

I can't wait until this album leaks. This thread will be bananas.

Davek (davek_00), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:34 (fourteen years ago) link

im boycotting the album on the grounds of it being too corporate

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:34 (fourteen years ago) link

Mashed Bananas and Jams
