I didn't think the Futureheads desecrating Kate Bush would be outdone in my lifetime
― lex pretend, Friday, 24 February 2017 17:52 (eight years ago)
haha i am not that outraged but it does betray a...... lack of self-awareness, or at least Sade-awareness, on par with i dunno chvrches doing a stereolab cover? you just don't mess, it does you no favours

or like...when chvrches did a bauhaus cover

Stereogum ran a whole article this week on cover versions of this song. They were uniformly awful.

I would gladly listen to Chvrches cover Stereolab.
― MarkoP, Friday, 24 February 2017 18:04 (eight years ago)
chvrches doing "bela lugosi's dead" feels way more out-of-depth than this though, not that i'm justifying this cover to people who will believe me on that point
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:04 (eight years ago)
that chvrches cover is so bizarre, i had totally forgotten about it
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:05 (eight years ago)
besides which the "by your side" cover doesn't veer from the original arrangement or reconstruct it as a rock song a la futureheads, just sort of faithfully recreates it with saxophones and synths and i assume someone humming through a distortion pedal, w matty singing through a vocoder. the anger it inspires is just another exponent of the significant contempt ppl already feel for this band, sade injury added to general insult
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:14 (eight years ago)
though i guess now that they've trolled lex so directly they can break up

what's up with the posts in this thread about how this cover is bad
― J0rdan S., Friday, 24 February 2017 18:17 (eight years ago)
matty using a vocoder kinda subverted how i genuinely would rather not hear anyone but sade sing this song. it's like the inverse of bon iver's bonnie raitt cover, which is well-intentioned and intolerable
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:24 (eight years ago)
it's like they took the outro of "if i believe you" and made it a whole song, can't think of anything i'd want more in my life
― J0rdan S., Friday, 24 February 2017 19:37 (eight years ago)
definitely better than justin vernon's autotune cover
― ufo, Saturday, 25 February 2017 04:10 (eight years ago)
yeah uh this is amazing jordan otm
― k3vin k., Saturday, 25 February 2017 04:16 (eight years ago)
the idea that a band who pulled off soul so flawlessly on "if i believe you" hasn't earned the right to tackle sade does not scan to me
― k3vin k., Saturday, 25 February 2017 04:49 (eight years ago)
ok I need to hear that Chvrche s cover, and this one too.
― Mark G, Saturday, 25 February 2017 14:23 (eight years ago)
their last album is still so good btw
― k3vin k., Sunday, 26 February 2017 03:41 (eight years ago)
oh it's one year old today!
― ufo, Sunday, 26 February 2017 04:24 (eight years ago)
is it just me or is "change of heart" super hats-y, especially the beginning
― k3vin k., Sunday, 26 February 2017 04:45 (eight years ago)
"please be naked" too tbh
― k3vin k., Sunday, 26 February 2017 05:02 (eight years ago)
yes to both
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Sunday, 26 February 2017 05:35 (eight years ago)
it's very easy to imagine a paul buchanan vocal over please be naked
― ufo, Sunday, 26 February 2017 05:47 (eight years ago)
has enough time passed for us to poll the album
― k3vin k., Sunday, 26 February 2017 18:05 (eight years ago)
omg yeah
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Sunday, 26 February 2017 18:32 (eight years ago)
i'm going for it
― k3vin k., Sunday, 26 February 2017 19:51 (eight years ago)
btw "by your side" still slays
― k3vin k., Friday, 7 April 2017 21:27 (eight years ago)
slaaaaays.
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 11 April 2017 20:38 (eight years ago)
sremms on 'perfect pint' is the only legitimate sade tribute tbh

so this band doesn't sound anything like I thought they woud sound like. pleasant surprise.

read a report that suggested it'll be out later this year but can't confirm
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 27 April 2017 18:14 (eight years ago)
matty tweeted 2018 a few months ago
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 27 April 2017 18:17 (eight years ago)
yeah that's what i'm expecting. stereogum and a few other outlets running with the "this year" thing
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 27 April 2017 18:19 (eight years ago)
but also matty loves to tweet numbers
oh yeah he says 2018 in the interview ffs
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 27 April 2017 19:18 (eight years ago)
ugh
― k3vin k., Thursday, 27 April 2017 19:31 (eight years ago)

I think he'd previously said they hope to have the lead single from it out by the end of the year
― ufo, Friday, 28 April 2017 01:34 (eight years ago)
true or false:
the current 1975 listening cru is actually the the-dream listening cru reconstituted
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 17 May 2017 18:29 (eight years ago)
right down to shipley's cautious enthusiasm
true on my part.
― gospodin simmel, Wednesday, 17 May 2017 19:15 (eight years ago)
Seeing these guys for the first time tonight. So excited!
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 17 May 2017 19:57 (eight years ago)
don't think I've knowingly heard a song by the-dream, mostly because of his name. come to think of it, that kept me from listening to the 1975 for months too!
― Vinnie, Thursday, 18 May 2017 14:12 (eight years ago)
*whispers* their cover of "by your side" is legit one of the best things they've done
― k3vin k., Saturday, 27 May 2017 17:19 (eight years ago)
