"Verti-Marte" is a cool jam thing but i wish it had been developed into a proper song because there's a great idea there
― ufo, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:13 (three years ago) link

songs where dulli looks jealously/longingly on someone else are some of my favorites and "it kills" is no exception

i love the bridge(?) of "it kills," when van hunt takes over/"you don't know my name!"

i love "esta noche", the jazzy build at the end is great & the electric piano that just becomes part of the gigantic wall of soud

such a gorgeous track, where everything really comes together on that album
everything's gonna be alright
― ufo, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:50 (three years ago) link
really where "it's his sade album" makes the most sense
oh lol i mistook it for "the twilite kid" but yeah "twilight" is amazing
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:53 (three years ago) link
I ended up voting The Twilite Kid higher than Twilight but I might have changed my mind on that in the last week since I sent in my ballot. Beautiful song.

always seemed weird to me that gentlemen closes with a cover and an instrumental, but it's a gorgeous piece of music

it really was just for nintendo's e3 show, being able to roll out some results at a time when the board is actually awake was just a bonus

aww
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 20:16 (three years ago) link
my issue with 1965 is that 'sweet son of a bitch', 'citi soleil' and 'john the baptist' are over-the-top bad to the point that i'm not willing to give 'the slide song' or 'neglekted' the benefit of the doubt. i mean, we get it: sex!
the horns are great tho
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 04:15 (three years ago) link
whaat "john the baptist" is fantastic
"sweet son of a bitch" is definitely terrible but it's a tiny interlude that's the most skippable thing in the world
― ufo, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 06:37 (three years ago) link
I hate to cross mookie, but I like both “John the Baptist” and “Citi Soleil,” and may have even voted for them as part of my selections from 1965, although the latter is in the same tradition of misspellings as David Johansen’s “Swaheto Woman.”
