Sky also used to be able to sing well live. Then she fucked up her voice at SXSW and didn't rest it and now it's noticeably weaker, although I know her stans aren't quick to admit it. And it honestly it can't sound any worse that what I imagine she's doing with Gesaffelstein since thats like industrial techno. But ok!!!!
-
Fight me! Also I'm more than willing to bet that it'd be a chorus for someone, but I would LIVE for an EDMesque anthem like Drive or FU even though Sky doesn't have the vocals like Miley to carry it
-
I liked what they tried to do with it, but Sia's songs are extremely difficult to cover for the sole reason that if you try to change pronunciation or melody, the whole song falls apart. That being said, she kept it together well, she just doesn't really have the vocal strength to pull it off. Her voice did sound much better here than in pervious videos I've seen of her so it seems she's recovered well from that vocal injury
-
She's been confirmed working with Ronnie, Diplo, and SOHN right?
-
Her and Mike-Will-Made-It have been tweeting each other non-stop and I'm like positive they did something together. Let's just hope we get to hear it

While I enjoy the SOPHIE stuff, Charli is an amazingly talented songwriter, True Romance had some of the best writing I'd seen in awhile (minus CA and So Far Away) and I wish she'd get back to at least showcasing her real witting skills, not her "written in 30 minutes" hit technique that seems to yield one hit for every five horrific songs
-
I was actually the opposite (found Glass Candy after Chromatics), and while I enjoy some Glass Candy tunes, I not nearly as devoted of a fan as I am of Chromatics, although I seem to enjoy everything put out on the IDIB label! Also as a vinyl collector its so nice because they press everything they releases and they do it on really cool colored stuff and I have a ton of signed stuff from all the bands
-
Cherry, Kill for Love, I Can Never Be Myself When You're Around, Lady, Running Up That Hill (Cover), and I'm On Fire (Cover) are probably the most easily digestible of the songs. I think one of the biggest turn offs for people is Ruth's voice, but it grows on you
-
Just thought I'd start a thread for them, new album Dear Tommy coming out sometime this year (we were supposed to get it in March). Also, Ruth's voice is definitely an acquired taste

Chromatics Chromatics is an American electronic music band from Portland, Oregon that formed in 2001. The band originally featured a trademark sound indebted to punk and lo-fi that was described as "noisy" and "chaotic". After numerous lineup changes, the band began releasing material on Johnny Jewel's "Italians Do It Better" record label in 2007, with their style streamlined into a synthpunk-Italo disco indebted sound. Several of the band's songs have been featured in television series, their track Tick of the Clock was featured in the film Drive (2011), and most notably their song Cherry was sampled in the Schoolboy Q hit, Man of the Year. Chromatics were also invited by Karl Lagerfeld to play the Chanel Spring Summer 2013 fashion show in Paris in early October 2012.

"As for the tune they worked on together, Charli says Moroder worked some magic. "[it's one] I wrote when I was 16 or 17 on my first trip to Sweden," she says. "It's something that's been around for a while and I sent it over and he felt it. It was something I had worked on for my first record but couldn't get quite right."" - Rolling Stone I really hope it isn't Cuts Like Diamonds re-done....................

Ah! Thank you! I was going to call, but this made me feel at ease for it

Me: "Sucker is terrible, I only like 1/4 of the tracks" Also me: *owns 3 versions of it on vinyl & the target deluxe CD*

I tried canceling my pre-order for the boxset and her store told me all pre-orders are final. I'm out $90 for an album that I don't even like

Super Ultra was incredible, such amazing production (most of the instrumentals were already released songs by their respective "producers") and such a fresh sound. True Romance definitely followed up on that "fresh sound" but was more pop centric (in a very good way) where SU was more experimental (which is the purpose of a mixtape). Cold Nites was so amazing, and after listening to that, How to Dress Well quickly became one of my favorite artists, I actually tweeted him casually a month ago saying they should work together again and he favorited it so at least one of them is open to collaboration! Sadly I don't think we'll ever get anything like SU or HB&EQ again as commercial success seems to prevent artists from doing things like that
-
Fire whoever was working the soundboard for her Coachella set. Seriously she had to do half the set without an in-ear because it wasn't working, she pulled it out after the third song. And don't even get me started with how Elliphant's mic was basically turned off for One More. She handled all the issued like a champ tho. Poor MØ, she can't catch a break with sound issues, first SNL now Coachella
-
Definitely has some great covers, Silver Spring and Velvet are probably two of her strongest, although that Wicked Games one was incredible and I hope she starts doing it more often. Also as much as I love I'm On Fire, from the videos I've seen her cover of it has been weak at best :/ Also the Lil Wayne cover is "A Milli" and theres After Laughter (Comes Tears) by Wendy Rene that was on that RSD 7" with El Perro Del Mar's cover on the other side

Get me a copy of Diamonds and I'll give you my first born
-
While I really enjoy both Youth Novels and Wounded Rhymes, I think I Never Learn is by far her best work. Not only was the songwriting incredible, but the production was so beyond gorgeous. Listening to it for the first time when it came out, every song felt like one of those timeless power-ballads that you had listened to on AM radio in the car with your grandparents, they just sounded so familiar yet so incredibly powerful and grabbing. She also apparently produced a larger portion of the album this time rather than Bjorn Yittling doing most of the work. My only problem with the album was that it was so good but so short, I wanted more, I didn't want it to end
-
YES! Love TALA! That How to Dress Well collab was sooooooo underrated! Also love that she's producing her own stuff, love seeing female producers doing their thing, managed to snag both her EPs on vinyl months back
-
Most are, some where done through radio stations like radio 1 & others smilier. Some are LQ iPhone videos from shows
-
The Fool is cute but its not as strong of a single as OctaHate or Promises Also the songs production sounds exactly like a Passion Pit reject (which makes sense because Michael Angelakos co-produced it) and I feel like the general public being the idiots they are, are going to try to call her on that especially every pretentious indie douchebag with a stick up their ass about women making music

I have a few in the misc to add Albums MTV Unplugged KCRW Morning Becomes Electric Misc Midnight by Felix White And then

If you're not worried about damaging the record (i wouldn't be as this release doesn't seem to be particularly rare or expensive) a trick to help stop the needle from jumping is to tape a penny to the top of the end of the tonearm to give it a little extra weight to keep it down. Again would not recommend this trick with anything you're not willing to see possibly damaged down the road (once on a disc is probably fine, but don't do it often to the vinyl)
