Scarlett Johansson gets "all stripped down" to record an album of T0m Waits songs (!?)

prescient

this was like way ahead of the curve on shit like The xx and Zola Jesus and Anika.

still smh @ everyone for missing the point on this one

I like this album, couldn't give a toss about TV on the radio

lol, never forget

I've encountered Whiney on numerous message boards and he is one of the absolute worst cases of "I listen to mainstream horseshit in a thinly-veiled attempt to separate myself from you Pitchfork-listeners" there is. I encountered a bunch of these dudes back when Britney Spears' "Toxic" came out.

I separate myself from those pitchfork listeners by not listening to pitchfork.

a very unusual but beautiful album, "Falling Down" always gets me

Bowie's backing vocals on Fannin Street are so touching

I think it’s a mixed bag but falling down is great

This thread really has something for everyone

agree it's a mixed bag, not a great album in any traditional sense

but like Lulu I think ultimately it succeeds as a weird but also weirdly moving, weirdly awesome album

there are much worse Scarlett Johansson threads on this board

"Falling Down" is good. I feel like she should be collaborating with Italians Do It Better folks instead of Pete Yawn
