Sitar

I wrote about "Mermaid Motel" this last semester in my music class. It's a song that delights me on every listen. Basically a lot of the essay was about brilliance in modern pop music--i.e., artists setting themselves apart by using a lot of the melodic and formulaic rules of pop to their advantage, rather than attempting to rebel. (I wrote this in response to my teacher ranting about how much music sucks today lel.) I also stole some of the technical wording from @@Monicker's fangirling. It's a little weirdly isolated so it's missing some context, but here:

Boris - Lo-Fang

She can't deny the destiny for her voice much longer Black Beauty could tooootally be amped into something a little dark-electro-R&Bish, you feel me. I think what I'm searching for is just plain minimalism, electronic or organic or otherwise. I don't want the mysterious soundcheck rock vocals or a bunch of OTTRs or Emile gd Haynie. It's nitpicking because I think she tends to shine through no matter what but I already have this super idealized vision of the album in mind.

Shit, this is mostly sad because I believe she called him her best friend. (Either him or Dan Heath.) Also they made magic together. Add to the pile of collaborators we'll always thirst for despite personal feelings along with David Kahne.

I just want it to sound fresh, I'm afraid potential upbeat tracks (a reach) and Emile (a sad reality) aren't serving me that Spiritual and organic! Hmmm or dark electronic like "Burning Desire" if Emile must. That could be a cool whole album and also fits the title quite a bit. Really slick electronic is v on trend imo Unthinkable

And yet here we are without it

Okay, so 2014 is supposed to have Charli XCX, Marina and the Diamonds, Lady Gaga, and Grimes albums. Will they pan out? There are pending TITLED albums from Lana Del Rey (Ultraviolence) and Azealia Banks (Broke With Expensive Taste). Then there's an expected second set of Sky Ferreira b-sides. Will they pan out? Debuts from less popular acts are expected but unannounced, including SOHN, Nightmare and the Cat, and Banks. Will they pan out? As for stuff with a release date: - After the Disco by Broken Bells (February 4) - Blue Film by Lo-Fang (February 25) - Joyland by TRUST (March 4) - No Mythologies to Follow by MØ (March 10) Bring it awn 2014.

Season 2 savagely choked and dominated Season 1 what are you talking about

"Change" is changing me Someone help with other songs pleeeeeease

OMG I had no idea it was coming back today

I would srsly bet money they shared some Brooklyn dick

You deserve the worst that the world has to offer you

Oh my god

Actually "Paradise" the title was recently registered as cowritten with Emile Haynie, and it's never been confirmed as the song we already have. Not the first time an old song appears registered later ("Queen of Disaster"), but we know she loves that word and it's a possibility of being something else entirely. Maybe this is connected.

Waiting Game - Banks

I like that you left out that the cherubs have ape faces

do not FKP2 is the worthy winner, actually surprised it got there

Jesus you sure? Maybe it was requested because it's a more recognizable brand that way but yiiiikes Looks dark here:

She answered some of my questions But pointedly ignored Longing Bird smh Only exciting to me: I asked who her dream collaboration would be, and she mentioned SOHN, who I loooooove. So I tweeted him about it. And he said: https://twitter.com/SOHN/status/421822638043197440 I like the shouty bit at the end of the DWD performance from the Roskilde Festival and I noticed it's significantly played down on the studio snippet. Anyway, DWD and Fire Rides are the only live performances I listen to a lot so hopefully I won't have too much demoitis. Though I'm slightly familiar with The Sea and No Mythologies to Follow as well.

Nominate some for elimination! And updates! :thirsty:

Considering it's free, I'll just post it: http://d.pr/a/sLpb

Limited number of MØ fans! She's doing a Q&A in the comments of her megamix at 4 PM GMT. United she will answer one of us. She must. Also I made a MØ tumblr bc I regret missing the boat on channeling my Lorde obsession usefully so I wanted to get the jump with this bitch: http://m-o-slash.tumblr.com/ Follow yo.

I sometimes do this for my own advantage. Then I think too much and get disappointed with the final result. Like I wanted Lana's next album to be stripped with a cappellas opening and closing it and ocean-themed and now she's working with David Guetta
