Ed Sheeran

(xposts) ... I'm assuming it's because softbatch southerners like the way he sings "it's too co-o-old outside" + namedrops angels (even in the context of their nonexistence) — also, weirdly enough, his pointless jangling rhymes are the closest thing to hip-hop on our store's weirdly sanitized version of top-40

(... not counting Third Eye Blind)

He was unimpressive to me on that Beatles tribute the other night

oh god, just encountered this guy.

one of these dudes (sometimes fronting a band) shows up every few years. i trace a line from dave matthews to jason mraz (sp?) to this guy, with some other folks i'd rather forget filling out the lineage. there's something these guys do with the rhythm guitar, i can't explain it or ID it, but it is supposed to signify "funky" when the music hardly has any bottom and much less any rhythmic interplay that remotely resembles anything i know to be funk.

ugh.

lol u should talk about it in the thread for his new album :P

This was guy was the Ed Sheeran of the 80s, in so many ways...

read today that he was stabbed in the cheek by a Royal while joking around pretending to be knighted, what a world we live in.

close but no cigar

one eye on the chips, one eye on the change

I used to be able to go about my daily business without hearing anything by this guy or even hearing anyone talk about him. Bring back those days, I say.

Lol

Is that this year's model of the FT Xanadu shutdown of a decade ago?

Ah, no. But thanks for posting. Hadn't seen that.

Change the charts methodology?

Ha, we need to post 16 articles about his chart domination, one for each top 20 UK streamed hit

This guy sucks

whenev his name is said i hear "Ned Sherrin"

I get all my pop culture knowledge from Sesame Street these days. when this dude cropped up I could not believe he was actually famous. apparently he is helping redheads get laid so that's good at least.

some dude pretended to be Ed in Portsmouth and got away with it at three churches

satire site but i want to believe

i heard you scam churches

you overhear 'thinking out loud' ONCE and the fucking thing's in your head for days

it's made with witchery and evil juices

lol his new video has him dressed as the Joker

not that i'm ever going to listen to it, but still fairly annoyed that his new lp is called "equals" not "minus"

I'm annoyed that Yes never released The No Album

They did, it was called Tormato
