Vermillion is a "trying on jeans somewhere" kind of song.― how's life, Thursday, January 22, 2015 12:03 PM (1 hour ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

haha i don't know what this means -- or even if it's a diss? -- but i kind of like it.

basically the same as the "mid-tier fashion store music" diss of Rather Be, no?
― rob, Thursday, 22 January 2015 19:42 (nine years ago) link
Tbh, I don't take either of those descriptions as disses, even though they may have been intended as such.
― Tove Lo Tove You Baby (jaymc), Thursday, 22 January 2015 19:46 (nine years ago) link
that's true and I don't think whoever posted that even meant it as a diss, replace with "comment on"

I've had day-long meetings for the past three days and I'm realizing now that missing the vast majority of the tracks rollout didn't bother me at all, particularly since "Two Weeks" looks to be either #1 or #2. Kind of bummed no one went for Alcest, though.

I'm bummed so many people think the Ear Murderers are good.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 22 January 2015 20:46 (nine years ago) link
Well, people also think Taylor Swift and Tyler the Creator are good so it's not really a shock to me.

My brother gave me an album by The 1978ers for my birthday that I wish I'd heard last year because I would have been pushing it heavily:

This is the band you were telling me about! Wow, this is great.

The whole album is FAAAAAANTASTIC

These two songs smoke, so I'm adding it to the purchase list.

Took a break, not related, but did I miss some reevaluation where people decided Drake wasn't hilariously awful?

huh. a good start
77. Jazmine Sullivan - Mascara
This is pretty good! I don't think that's ever been my reaction any other year to the first track so hopefully not a jinx, only criticism is some clunk lyrics wise and the potential for getting a little audio wallpapery, doesnt so much end as just drift off somewhere, still 7/10
― a strawman stuffed with their collection of 12 cds (jjjusten), Monday, 18 January 2016 17:05 (eight years ago) link
76. Radiohead - Spectre
This sounds exactly like "Radiohead writes a song for a James Bond film" which is somehow super super gross to me, not in a "oh how could they" way but in the terrible combination of the worst of both of those two things. Remember when a James Bond theme wasn't an automatic bullet full of dull shot into whoever was making it? not a radiohead hater but this is phoned in no effort garbage. 3/10

75 THUNDERCAT FT. FLYING LOTUS AND KAMASI WASHINGTON "Them Changes"
I think I can't be impartial about this because i bear the deep scars of guitar store lifetime but the noodly watery envelope filter bass shit in this is so fucking grating and unlistenable that i cant give it a fair shake. shades of shrapnel records if they had put out anything not made by the whitest people available in new jersey. i get grabbed for moments, theres hooks but then saxophone or "blurgle bluggle wuuba wubba squee squa" bubbles up again and i just cant fucking take that shit. still better than the radiohead track. 4/10

74 FLOATING POINTS "Silhouettes (I, II, III)"
kind of reminds me of up bustle and out except for that part where something interesting happens eventually 5/10

i started listening to the nominations playlist a few weeks back, and seriously considered voting, but then after about a dozen or so tracks of tepid garbage, I decided I would rather listen to Bach and Roedelius and it isn't like my voting would make any difference in anyone's life, so I just gave up.
― sarahell, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 21:45 (eight years ago) link
ditto
hopefully gaz will place high

my one regret in not voting.
Also, I did not formally release my Trap Queen IDM parody in time to be nominated.

10 DAVID BOWIE "Blackstar"
im about to piss of a bunch of people probably but uh. its ok? vocal doubling is dull, hate the saxophone intrusion, dont like the drum sound choices, moments where it almost catches my ear but yeah. not a fan so far. 4 minute mark might be turning that around though? ehhh as a guy who likes disjointed things more than most, this is kind of a mess. sorry, all respect but just no. 5/10
