Ooh no, silly me. He's posted it on another thread

Ace idea Graham, the follow-up thread. Already 'Yesterday' is a hot favourite. It gets my okay.

Sorry - I've been on holiday, but just to let you all know that I don't like All the Young Dudes very much at all, whereas Be My Baby is untouchable. I really don't believe that Sundar hasn't heard it. I mean the Human League I could understand, but Be My Baby? That's just weird. I suggest he rents a copy of Mean Streets - it runs over the title sequence in a supercool way. Woah! Never having heard Be My Baby. I mean, woah! So much fun to come! I feel all paternal.

Even I like it. Even LJ likes it.

Will the naysayer(s) please step forward?

I mean, it’s not my style, so no I don’t enjoy it

This new flag button is fiddly but it works

― Joe Proroguin' (Noodle Vague), Friday, 30 August 2019 14:57 (four years ago) link

It's pleasant, and I don't have any problem with it, but I wouldn't say it grabs me in an exceptional way yet, as a relative outsider to the genre. I'll give it time.

Tbf I don't love it. But I do like it.

― pomenitul, Friday, 30 August 2019 15:18 (four years ago) link

can't say I give a shit about this song. the sound is super-tinny, I don't like that.

balloon

― jakey mo collier (voodoo chili), Friday, 30 August 2019 15:42 (four years ago) link

On one hand, I'm a dancehall stan and I wouldn't necessarily have picked this as a world-uniting crowd-pleaser (Koffee's "Toast" would be a safer bet I'd think?). On the other, I sent this song to a friend after she got harassed by nazis on twitter all day and she said it cheered her up

― rob, Friday, 30 August 2019 15:44 (four years ago) link

xpost on my third hand, just seeing the word balloon now puts this song in my head

― rob, Friday, 30 August 2019 15:45 (four years ago) link

"Toast" does a lot more for me on first listen.

Kinda can't believe it hasn't been suggested yet but I think we'll be able to lock thread with this one.
