thread of miguel

hmmm, he can't really play guitar, can he? the subway station vid was cool tho

mike breen is such a republican

lol that was the wrong thread -_-

yeah he's wayne-esque on that guitar, but maybe that was a while ago

his voice is so good

GODFUCKINGDAMMIT MIGUEL do u even know how often i'm there on that platform

His guitar is just fine on "Arch n Point."

is there any reason to assume that's him playing it? the track was produced by Fisticuffs

I only think so because they're easy lines and his fingers match the chords.

alright, looks like he has stepped his guitar game up at least to the level of competence. and covered madvillain.

where are production credits

most of the places where the mixtapes were released have a back cover graphic w/ production credits

er where the EPs were uploaded i guess

man i'm impressed as hell that he produced "...all" -- that's a pretty damn nuanced take on dance music imo

1.Adorn 02:19

even fucking "Broads" kind of grew on me

haha it's the opposite for me, i only really care about 3-4 songs of this, albeit i REALLY care about those, but that's the same ratio as like the melanie fiona album, which this series isn't actually substantially more interesting than

and the estelle album is way better

and like there are more amazing new nikkiya tracks this year than miguel ones :(

the estelle album is not better

and neither was that old nikkiya album but i haven't heard the reissue

maybe they're not ~faded~ enough for you but they are definitely more enjoyable to me. just better songs, better production, singers you want to spend more time with...miguel is trying very hard to be an auteur rather than the semi-anonymous guy behind "sure thing" but in the process hasn't remotely come close to "sure thing"s impeccable standard

and i really love "...all" but c'mon FELLOW OUTCASTS! AND WEIRDOS! stfu you try-hard

maybe they're not ~faded~ enough for you

oh fuck off

also, i do want to spend time with miguel. in bed.

trying to reduce miguel to some tumblr-wave thing is so NAGL.

and he's done at least 5 songs better than "sure thing"

i'm pretty sure if i was forced to spend time with estelle i'd want to cut my head off in short order.

"sure thing" is great, but so are "adorn", "arch & point", "...all", c'mon. dunno why it always has to be this vs. that, devolve to bickering abt the cultural positioning. weirdo art outcast is no more contrived than any other pop persona.

also, i do want to spend time with miguel. in bed.

yeah you do not get miguel at all

Despite the miguel songs I love I think you might be right there

Miguel ‏@MiguelUnlimited
URGENT: I need an artist in NY with experience or technical know-how in mask making. ASAP. @ Me Por favor.

lol

tweets very much in character

"adorn" is now an OFFICIAL SINGLE + a minute longer

will take some time to get used to the new version but his singing at the end is fantastic imo

http://soundcloud.com/miguelofficial/adorn

Was just coming to post this. like. FUCK. so good.

Can we also talk about how the synths riff that emerges just around/after the point where the Art Dealer Chic Vol. 1 version trailed off is very very Prince's "If I Was Ur Girlfriend"?

didn't think it was really missing anything before but it definitely feels more complete now, love the bridge xpost

Brevity was a big part of Adorn's mystique, but I'm not one to complain about more of a good thing.

One of the blogs I follow shared the track and teased "Bigger news to follow..." which I can only imagine means an album announcement.

lovely.

this morning "Arch n Point" became my most played 2012 song.

or *fingers crossed* the launch of a new 'bike messenger chic' social networking site

xpost

championing fellow fixed gears and beardos

lol

otm

or to complain about more of a sure thing

literally just clapped my hands to the side of my face and exclaimed "OH MY FUCKING LORD" when I got to the end of the new version

why isn't rev one of those people that does youtube reaction videos as he's listening to records for the first time
