I'd be interested in hearing what you thought the genres for their other albums were. Bitter Rivals is probably my favorite of the three previous ones, but Comeback Kid is my favorite song of theirs.

I'd say: Treats -hip hop/pop Reign of Terror - metal Bitter Rivals - rock It's definitely a tie between Reign of Terror and Bitter Rivals for favorite though. I'm a sucker for metal-esque guitar riffs.

Stromae has put the official recording of his full concert on Youtube. It's pretty great, guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOZLDQm9c2E This just convinces me that I have to see him live next time he's in town.

After seeing some of this, I have to imagine this is crazy good live. Also, are some of those animations based of some indie games? The giant spider stalking him in the beginning looks exactly like the game Limbo.

I heard exactly three songs from her, one being the Owl City shitshow and the other being I Really Like You. Considering all three tracks were so sickingly sweet I passed. I was way wrong. I Really Like You is the worst song off this and I am flabbergasted at how they chose that as a first single.

Just to give another opinion, I think I Really Like You is awesome and I probably wouldn't have given Emotion a chance if it hadn't been the first single.

I've only recently discovered the thread. I read the last few pages and I'm struggling to enjoy CRJ's Emotion? It feels solid but unspectacular. I really enjoyed "I Really Like You" and "Call Me Maybe" so I don't get it. I'm giving it another go right now...

The standard version is almost an insult of a release when the extra tracks add so much.

Emotion is my favorite album in a long, long time. I can't think of another that I'm able to listen to, all the way through, as often as I listen to it, and it hooks me from the first second with that loving awesome Sax right at the beginning of Run Away With Me. My top five played in iTunes are Run Away with Me, Emotion, Your Type, Gimme Love, and I Really Like You, and that doesn't include all the plays of IRLY from before the album came out.

I was going to add to this, but at this point we may as well just post the track listing. They're all really good. Holy poo poo that's a good album. In non CRJ stuff, I've been listening to Queen of the Clouds a lot lately, and it's also really good.

3OH!3 released a song called "My Dick". The chorus is "Every time I look at my dick, I'm like, 'holy poo poo that's a big dick'. Every time I look at your dick, I'm like, 'holy poo poo that's a small dick'". I'm not sure which is worse: the implication that this guy looks at other people's dicks all the time, or the fact that this isn't even the best "my dick is bigger than yours" song I've ever heard.

I actually discovered that through the (generally excellent) This Week in Pop column that Stereogum has. They try to highlight some of the best pop music of the week, and then one song that should probably not exist. There is also a Simple Plan/Nelly collaboration that was made in the year 2015 (that is not a typo, I did not mean to type 2005, I meant 2015). It is terrible, but doesn't sound like either Simple Plan or Nelly, so it's not even uniquely terrible. A comparison: 3OH!3 posted:E-e-e-very time I look at my dick Notes: The first verse is in a terrible british accent and then a terrible french accent and then a terrible southern accent, so you lose points for that. Props for the Adam Levine insult, especially with the Listerine rhyme. I dunno why "my dick looks like a nutter butter" is good at all, aren't those generally pretty small? Also, some of the stretches are pretty sad: "I hang low like trunk of Dumbo" is just pathetic, even in a song about how big your dick is. Mickey Avalon posted:My dick cost a late night fee Notes: I appreciate that this song isn't just about dick size, but about general appearance, cleanliness, and overall ability to use the dick. Your dick apparently stinks, has AIDS, was molested, has unkempt hair, is generally pretty bad at it's job, and is short, skinny, and looks like a 14 year olds, which I think is much more thorough than 3OH!3's repetition of "my dick is bigger than yours", which seems like such a lame insult in comparison. This song is also more likely to stand the test of time, because aside from Gary Coleman and Macauley Culkin references (which in themselves are already old enough to have some staying power), it's pretty universal stuff. We'll always know what someone having a stinky dick means, or how bad it is to have a dick like a munchkin, but it seems like every other line in 3OH!3's song has some sort of cultural reference, half of which I don't think even make sense. Who in 10 years is gonna know anything about Seth Rogan's arm, and why having a dick like it is bad? (Is it hairy? It doesn't seem to be small...). Will Ving Rhames forever be the codeword for "large black man?" Aren't kids already forgetting who Bob Barker and Dick Clark are? I will say that I have no idea who DS is, nor does the song really make me want to find out. I'm pretty sure it's his rap group or something. Summary: Mickey Avalon, for the first time in his career (I assume, I had a friend try to tell me he was good once and now I don't talk to that friend anymore, for unrelated reasons but still), has a song that is better that someone. 3OH!3, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Well, more ashamed than you already should be for being 3OH!3 and making me have to type your dumb name out like that.

When you said you knew a better dick song I immediately knew what you meant. That Mickey Avalon song is unironically dope. I am not listening to that 3oh3 thing though.

Since I've been hearing "Merry Xmas Everybody" almost every time I've gone into a shop in the past month, I've become increasingly convinced that Slade were actually a really underrated band. Not so fussed on their heavy metal stuff from the 1980s, but their glam stuff in the 1970s was good. Noddy Holder was a great singer.

Kind of weird to think of how the cast of Glee were nominated for a Grammy. Best New Artist or something? That's a pretty open-ended Grammy to win. You can take it as an honour for the new artist who's achieved the most in a given year, but then it creates all these expectations on top of that which can be difficult to live up to. You know, you get the sense that "Best New Artist" means "artist we expect to go far" as much as it does "artist who has achieved the most in their first year" and it's in the former category where recipients fall down. What's the second most wrong-headed Grammy award there's been (the first, of course, being Milli Vanilli)? Wheat Loaf fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Dec 23, 2015 |

Jethro Tull over Metallica is legendary. I don't think there's been another example where the actual genre decision was wrong. I'm sure there were bigger snubs at the nomination side, but most of those are lost to history and up for debate. Fake Edit: Good Vibrations didn't get a Record of the Year nom the year it came out. Yesterday didn't win song of the year the same year.

Wheat Loaf posted:Kind of weird to think of how the cast of Glee were nominated for a Grammy. Best New Artist or something? Just looking at Best New Artist, you've got Macklemore over Kendrick Lamar, which is just silly. There's Esperanza Spaulding over Bieber, Mumford and Sons, Drake, and Florence + The Machine, which is confusing, though much less offensive. Maroon 5 over Kanye is sad given their respective trajectories. Evanescence won BNA over Fountains of Wayne, which is terrible to me personally, because I think Fountains of Wayne is amazing. 1978-80 was three straight years of kinda sad looking decisions, with starting with Debby Boon over Foreigner, then A Taste of Honey over The Cars and Elvis Costello, and topped off with Rickie Lee Jones over Robin Williams, The Blues Brothers, The Knack, and Dire Straits. I'd say out of all of those that Mack over Kendrick is still the worst one, but A Taste of Honey, a disco band famous for "Boogie Oogie Oogie" beating The Cars, who had one of the best debut albums ever, and Elvis Costello, is pretty loving absurd as well. It was the peak of Disco, so I understand it, but still, ugh. Hell, Toto was nominated that year, and I'd even be OK with that, because Hold The Line is dope. edit: It's pretty hard to argue that most of the Record of the Year choices are egregiously wrong, but Lionel Richie winning over Born in the USA, Purple Rain, Tina Turner, and Cindy Lauper's best album is pretty loving egregious.
