Can't get enough of this amazing new track from the master maestro of music himself, Psy. Lightning might not be able to strike twice, but light-psy-ning certainly can!!!

Sprat Sandwich posted:I think he is the worst an artist can be - dull. The only thing I can remember is his gratuitous use of mascara? So yeah, Cardle seems to be the one to compare him to (except the mascara, of course). It's a problematic mentality that mistakes "dull" for "serious artist" but it still crops up from time to time.

Sorry if I am misunderstanding what you're saying, but I didn't mean that a serious artist is a dull artist. Maybe dull wasn't the right word for him. Or did you mean that his idea of a serious artist is being monotone and throwing in a forgettable rap?

I think he means people have mistaken James Arthur for a serious artist, when he is in fact just a dull one. I think he'll do a bit better than Matt Cardle but I don't really see him being all that popular for very long. He fancies himself a songwriter as well but I bet his songs are terrible

My opinion is rather difficult to sum up in words; I suspect I'm probably biased, to some extent, because I tend to hold their vaguely alternative sort-of rock-ish genre in fairly low esteem. I'll have to think about it and see if I can explain myself more eloquently.

Anyone hear that new single Avril Lavigne put out? It's called 'Never growing up' or something. I just listened to it, and it's really not that bad. All of Lavigne's songs are pretty satisfactory though. Any thoughts about it, or about her?

STAND UP AND TURN YOUR SPEAKERS TO MAX BECAUSE PET SHOP BOYS HAVE A NEW SONG OUT AND IT'S NOT "REFLECTIVE" NOR "MOODY" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDCU17wXktY The albums out on July 15th. God Bless. Oh and Annie also released a new song but it's kinda poo poo sadly but whatever, the rest will be great.

Considering Neil is really not a good live singer, they put a lot of effort into their shows, and it pays off. I've seen them twice, once on the Cubism tour and once on the Pandemonium tour, and I had a lot of fun. The crowd skews a bit older though, obviously a lot of people go to see them for their 80s and 90s hits.

I'm kinda surprised that Headphones isn't on the record, I liked it as much as I like anything on Nocturnes (though it's arguably higher energy than anything else on the album, maybe it's just that it didn't fit thematically?)

I first heard of Little Boots because a goon had her as an avatar. Does anyone remember who that was? I am now listening to Nocturnes and liking it. Maybe not as much as Hands, but it will need time to grow on me perhaps. It is maybe a bit too disco at times.

Yeah, it's kinda weird - it's not THAT different to be left off the album. Maybe she just didn't like it. Metal Loaf posted:I remember seeing her on an episode of Later...

She had some weird problems with her label, IIRC, plus the usual second album fuckery. She even won the 2009 BBC Sound of thing, but I guess that doesn't really mean much.

"Can't Hold Us" hits No. 1. Macklemore is the first artist to take his first two singles to the top since Lady GaGa. http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1560817/macklemore-ryan-lewis-cant-hold-us-tops-hot-100?utm_source=twitter I can't say I saw this coming 8 months ago but it's pretty cool.

Not sure if this is the right place for this but does anyone listen to Knower (aka Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi)? They're a kind of indie pop group that's hard to describe. They recently put out a new album at the end of last month, and though I don't think it's as good as some of their previous stuff, there are some good tracks. Here's their video for Time Traveler off the new album. http://youtu.be/itRWssMSuvw

Benne posted:"Can't Hold Us" hits No. 1. Macklemore is the first artist to take his first two singles to the top since Lady GaGa. Is "Same Love" charting? That would be awesome, and also a Lady Gaga-esque achievement of getting a popular song that explicitly addresses gay rights. I haven't heard "Can't Hold Us" much, since it only plays on the the top 40s station that I don't tune to much. "Thrift Shop" and "Same Love" play on the alternative rock station, of all things.

It's presently at #83 on the Hot 100, which is its peak so far, but it's only being promoted to alternative radio. It could be a contender for the Top 40 if its sales pick up but it's not going to take off without serious support from CHR.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFasFq4GJYM Heard this for the first time on my local alternative station on my way to work. Listened to it over and over at work. Heard it again on the same station at lunch, and I'm sure I'll hear it again driving home. With the way indie/alternative acts have been blowing up lately, I wouldn't be surprised if this song gets huge in the US. Girl is talented, only 16, and already hit #1 in her native New Zealand.

I saw Charli XCX live the other day - and she was fantastic. She even finished her set with A Cover of "I Want it That Way . She's playing really small venues for like $12, so if she's coming near you, go for it, have a bunch of drinks, and have fun
