Mark Ronson?

Worst internet beef ever.

hollerboard beef is mad strenuous

So, a review slagging a band appears in the paper, but the writer did not attend the gig. Or write the review.

Hmmm........ And she's a 'whiney bitch' for caring?

I kind of assumed, considering how much money has been thrown down on Mark Ronson's education (Collegiate School for Boys, world's #1 school in terms of Ivy League attendees), dude would at least be able to write in sentences.

This is what happens when you don't have trade unions.

he so got the M.O.P. collabo because they sampled his dad.

RONSON TO PRODUCE BOYZONE
Now, I know Mark Ronson is a talented fella and all, but I'm pretty sure even this is a challenge too far. Ronson is set to go into the studio with Boyzone. Yeah, nuff said really. No number of trumpets will transform that kind of tedium.

Confirming Ronson was on board for their next album, the tedium master Ronan Keating told reporters: "I'm a big fan of Mark's. We wanted to do something really different for this album. We've all grown up and we want to show that with a new sound. It will be colourful, bright and uplifting".

No number of trumpets will transform that kind of tedium

I bet a million would.

I've had his "production" in my head last night. I was tempted to drill a hole in my head and drain it out. I understand the success, but in all honesty I rather listen to the Teletubbies (well, always). There's something insanely loathesome about his production (on the Covers record). It's just too infested with... everything. Esp trumpets.

hes a maximalist

Yes his Covers record is so tiring to listen to... It only takes a few tracks for me to get a massive headache. It's not only his arrangements the problem, it's also the way is mixed and mastered...

I do understand the appeal but for longer than one song it just tires me. It does work well with, say, Lily Allen because her voice is a little lite 'n' breathy.

is there really no discussion of uptown funk/special on this board?

the benji b remix of uptown funk is really fantastic.

was going to avoid ronsons album but am now seriously tempted to investigate his 80s worship. uptown funk sounds a bit cameo, a bit fatback band, a bit trevor horn. this might make me think about looking into bruno mars more too.

some discussion here - Bruno Mars/Smeezingtons singles poll

looking forward to hearing the album. his Red Bull lecture was fascinating.

also this (featuring ex-Pipette Rose Dougall) was amazing and no-one gave a shit

Apart from Uptown Funk and I Can't Lose, the album feels more steeped in the 70s, than the 80s.

I can't believe no one is really talking about Uptown Special. I'm just listening to it now and I'm so down for it. Mystikal's (like Mystikal coming outta nowhere too) track was fucking fantastic and Uptown Funk has been my jam ever since it came out. Especially after that killer performance at the VMAs. (I'm praying to see it place on the top 77 in the next few days). For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb73FC6I_0U

oh shit.

this is better than uptown funk.

Yeah, so this record is great

don't make me light my butt

I really, really like the new album.

Lykke Li, Diana Gordon and Angel Olsen tracks are particularly fab. Miley track the worst, probably.

Surprising how little love Mark Ronson gets around these parts. The title track on "Late Night Feelings" is classic.

The new album is great. The title track and the Angel Olsen song are the two highlights, but the whole thing is pretty solid.

News and buzz

Mark Ronson comes out as a sapiosexual

"sapiosexual" as a concept is such a gigantic crock of shit and I will continue to hold this opinion until someone shows me a sapiosexual group full of dudes going "you know, Stephen Hawking could get it"

The entire thing appears to be a specially curated series of lines dudes in their 30s use on high school students

ironically MC Skat Kat a big early influence on Ronson

(CNN)Hit maker Mark Ronson has walked back his comments about identifying as sapiosexual.

"I do not consider myself part of any marginalized community, and I apologize if anybody misunderstood or took offense to it," Ronson told Rolling Stone.
