I swallowed a bug

I don't really know where else to post about it here in nmd, so uhhhhhhhhh... I kinda like that new Panic! At the Disco album. It's poppy as hell, and catchy, and the first half is much stronger than the second half, but yeah pretty good.

The first time I heard "Ex's and Oh's" just at the end of December, I misheard "Elle King" as "Ellie Goulding" and I've only just realised my mistake the other day. :v:

This is horrible mistake and one you should never admit you made ever again. One of these women is incredibly talented and the only good thing to come out of 50 shades of grey. The other is the daughter of Rob Schneider.

The new Foxes album comes out February 5 and from what they've released so far it's basically Emotion 2.0. I've already pre-ordered it, I'm psyched.

I love Foxes and can't wait for this album. Also if you want a signed physical copy, someone really hosed up on the website and isn't converting pounds to dollars so instead of 10 pounds, you can pay 10 dollars (around 15 shipped). http://foxes.sandbaghq.com/ Possibly auto-penned but she's at least tweeted pictures that look like she's signing them.

Elle King is related to Rob Schneider, but she was raised by her mother, so I don't think it's fair to use her parentage as an excuse to insult her.

Also, I like Ellie Goulding, and I don't think she's untalented, but IMHO calling her "incredibly" talented is a slight stretch.

And what should one do to be remembered?
Foxes is really good, yes. On that topic, IIRC Cher Lloyd mentioned that she's working on something and I can't wait :neckbeard:

By the way, something weird as gently caress happened and it has had me :psyduck:-ing over the last few days. The official video for Foxes' "Let Go For Tonight" is different from the one I saw two months ago. Same channel, same song yet some shots have been completely removed, reworked or extended. The upload date is the same. I'm absolutely certain it isn't just me since my mother and sister are great fans of her and they noticed it as well when I showed the video to them the other day.

I saw a video of Ellie Goulding performing a Stevie Wonder song with Jools Holland's orchestra ("Signed, Sealed, Delivered", I think) and thought she didn't sound great. Sounded like she had a cold. Ed Sheeran did a pretty decent version of "Master Blaster" on the same show, though. I believe it was the New Year's Hootenanny the year before last.

I agree (on both accounts, sadly). I first encountered Freedia on the RuPaul's Peanut Butter. I have no idea who came up with the idea oh having her open for The Postal Service on one of their recent tours. But that person should probably get a medal.

I have a question for anyone who's knowledgeable about charts - for some reason I was recently looking at the list of Billboard number-one dance singles in 1978 (no doubt I was reading the page for one of the albums or artists and found my way there) and I'm a bit confused about why there's some entries that list an album and "all cuts", an example being Instant Replay by Dan Hartman (great album, by the way; as far as awkward-looking white guys playing disco music go, he is definitely one of my favourites). How did that work?

Maybe the A side was released in different formats with different B sides.

1989 won Album of the Year over To Pimp A Butterfly. 1989 is popular in this thread but it was nowhere near as good as TPAB, in my opinion.

"Uptown Funk" deserves the award it got but I think Kendrick Lamar should have won.

The hip-hop albums never quite seem to make it for AOTY. I think there's been some that have won (haven't checked)but certainly fewer than you'd expect for a genre that's had so many acclaimed albums. It's bizarre that Kanye West's albums haven't won yet.

Ed Sheeran isn't totally terrible, but the song that won is. It's one of the most bland, lazy, cliched pop ballads ever recorded.

The Sheeran song is okay, but it's not really award worthy. It's pretty good at what it does, it's just that what it does is boring and played out. It's the Nickelback of pop ballads.

edit: also, it's better than see you again so they could have made a worse decision.
