it's respected among people who enjoyed previous Thicke albums, but the hit certainly didn't lead many people to listen to the album who wouldn't have otherwise

I says I'm most likely to read Q...
Since there's an issue of it open on page 50 right next to my laptop, I guess I can't disagree with that.

btw DJP the other thread moves so fast I forgot to say, but I really appreciated the facebook posts you put up for certain albums. Good stuff.

w/r/t albums crossing demographics, i notice sky ferreira had a big impact on the dance crew itt - i noticed this elsewhere too (the factmag staff loved her). i can't actually fathom why this is!!
― lex pretend, Thursday, 30 January 2014 22:33 (ten years ago) link
La Lechera - we shared two picks, so in comparison to the bulk of voters that puts us not as neighbors but at least on the same block.

yar DJP has been a major player, and not least because I've magically ended up liking everything he does (except his number one, lol)

EZ - but clearly we don't live in a place that has blocks -- it's like we share adjoining vast tracts of land and we have to rig up the dog sleds to visit our neighbors. Sort of like real life, I guess.
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Thursday, 30 January 2014 22:49 (ten years ago) link
nobody except me voted for israel nash gripka. that's unbelievable, did i missspell his name or what? the best neil young impersonator ever, so much better than neil young himself these days. his album is almost on par with "after the goldrush", i'd say.
