I've had his "production" in my head last night. I was tempted to drill a hole in my head and drain it out. I understand the success, but in all honesty I rather listen to the Teletubbies (well, always). There's something insanely loathesome about his production (on the Covers record). It's just too infested with... everything. Esp trumpets.

hes a maximalist

Yes his Covers record is so tiring to listen to... It only takes a few tracks for me to get a massive headache. It's not only his arrangements the problem, it's also the way is mixed and mastered...

I do understand the appeal but for longer than one song it just tires me. It does work well with, say, Lily Allen because her voice is a little lite 'n' breathy.

is there really no discussion of uptown funk/special on this board?
the benji b remix of uptown funk is really fantastic.
was going to avoid ronsons album but am now seriously tempted to investigate his 80s worship. uptown funk sounds a bit cameo, a bit fatback band, a bit trevor horn. this might make me think about looking into bruno mars more too.

looking forward to hearing the album. his Red Bull lecture was fascinating.
also this (featuring ex-Pipette Rose Dougall) was amazing and no-one gave a shit

Apart from Uptown Funk and I Can't Lose, the album feels more steeped in the 70s, than the 80s.

I can't believe no one is really talking about Uptown Special. I'm just listening to it now and I'm so down for it. Mystikal's (like Mystikal coming outta nowhere too) track was fucking fantastic and Uptown Funk has been my jam ever since it came out. Especially after that killer performance at the VMAs. (I'm praying to see it place on the top 77 in the next few days). For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb73FC6I_0U

this is better than uptown funk.

Yeah, so this record is great

I really, really like the new album.
Lykke Li, Diana Gordon and Angel Olsen tracks are particularly fab. Miley track the worst, probably.

Surprising how little love Mark Ronson gets around these parts. The title track on "Late Night Feelings" is classic.
― enochroot, Friday, 6 September 2019 14:19 (four years ago) link
The new album is great. The title track and the Angel Olsen song are the two highlights, but the whole thing is pretty solid.

Mark Ronson comes out as a sapiosexual
― omar little, Friday, 20 September 2019 16:21 (four years ago) link
"sapiosexual" as a concept is such a gigantic crock of shit and I will continue to hold this opinion until someone shows me a sapiosexual group full of dudes going "you know, Stephen Hawking could get it"

ironically MC Skat Kat a big early influence on Ronson

(CNN)Hit maker Mark Ronson has walked back his comments about identifying as sapiosexual.
"I do not consider myself part of any marginalized community, and I apologize if anybody misunderstood or took offense to it," Ronson told Rolling Stone.
