Williams featured in a campy and tongue-in-cheek music video where he was a figure skater. In the video he performs a backflip, which is actually illegal in competitive figure skating.

though I liked it on initial exposure, every subsequent thing I encountered just made it seem weaker and less inspired and just overall terrible

is this for real?

the opening to this thread is hilarious

i feel bad about being the person to note this, given that generally i wish ilm could use more enthusiasm, but come on

perpetua was tweeting today about how a co-worker heard him listening to the forthcoming album and asked him if it was Britney Spears and how ppl's heads would be exploding if this actually was the new britney album

but those tweets are deleted now which is kind of weird

Dude this is Q we're talking about, they don't put you on the cover unless you're on at least yr second album and have sold millions of records and are about as safe a prospect as you can get.

They've not even given her a something-for-the-dads type cover as is occasionally their wont.

Ha! Better to have loved and lost than etc ;)

Loved 'Video Games' and 'Blue Jeans' but then didn't pay attention to anything about her for 5 months. Just clicked the link to 'Off To The Races' that picesx posted and am now v excited for the album!

it's a p weird song

Entirely unmoved and underwhelmed by 'Off To The Races'.

then of course there's

i heard her on radio 2 in my dads car. Not my kind of thing - ultra tasteful. My parents who like Subo thought she was great though. So shes gonna be huuuuuuuuuuge.

Your parents are the world's tastemakers.

scary thought

I love her delivery on "Blue Jeans" and "Video Games"
Everything else? She's behind the beat, like she's just been taught the song that morning.

You need to have a pretty ballsy performance to float a line like "He loves me / with every beat of his cocaine heart"

best yet maybe

Oh lord that is now firmly stuck in my head.

The lesson for Del Rey and Band of Horses is clear

vimeo deleted! what was it?

it was this (w/ a diff photo of her)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGy6L4ol9OM

yeah terrible quality these and she's said the final versions will be very different from the leaks.

but yeah TUNE!
hasn't made a bad track yet bless her. the stretching of 'ovati-oo-n' is brilliant.

ehhh not so into it

I like National Anthem well enough.

hasn't made a bad track yet bless her

Hmm, this opinion of her recorded material to date perplexes me. Outside of 'Video Games,' every track seems like a half-baked idea or formless demo to me.

we were drunk the other night, and we listened to a few besides "video games" and i was like, this is good.

thought it might not be the case, but it was, at least at the time.

JF otm

Dunno, it all seems so empty. I like the first minute of Video Games ok but it keeps going on and I don't know why.

What scares me is I liked VG and Blue Jeans but if she's going to continue solely in this vein of breathless young sexy siren pining away/smitten, the ridiculousness will overwhelm any other merit and I'll get bored.

i don't find it ridiculous, i find it pays homage to something, and i find any emptiness directed at the point of her sound

not that it matters what i think, but i find her v boring because breathless young sexy siren pining away/smitten doesn't really speak to me or my interests as a music listener. she's like fake naughty zooey deschanel.

it totes matters!

She was shite on Jonathan Ross.

case closed

i feel like any kind of consistent aesthetic is going to have difficulties when it runs up against jonathan ross tbh

i like video games & born to die & will check out the lp
