that does remind me that the cindy lee album falls into a kinda uncanny valley with its retro reverb sound, there's this cold digital sound to it too

if Cindy Lee is not your thing, that's fine, but to say there's no actual songs there is actually insane

the “problem” with the cindy lee album is that the second half is miles better than the first, and it takes an hour to get there!

listening to the cindy lee now and enjoying it but the impeccable vibes are somewhat disrupted by listening on youtube and having tom brady pop up every 10 minutes to shill for hertz

what are the good songs on the cindy lee album? i listened to the whole thing twice and nothing really stood out at all

for a start: all i want is you, government cheque, wild one, stone faces, always dreaming, kingdom come
― devvvine, Thursday, 25 April 2024 22:08 (one month ago) link
"stone faces," "dracula," "government cheque," "if you hear me crying," "crime of passion"
tho none are as good as last year's "in a moment divine" with freak heat waves.

Sometimes it takes me a while to get around to a band, and I get that "Why did I wait so long?" feeling. Today I finally got around to listening to Knocked Loose and instead I thought, "Ugh, really?" The riffs are just reheated Emmure, and the vocalist suuuuucks.

Whatever one might think of "Diamond Jubilee", it's pretty awesome that we still have a cultural landscape where even though we're in a year with multiple releases by massive artists (Future, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Kali Uchis), a relatively-unknown musician can find their way into the ranks of the 'hyped', to where friends of mine with very little interest in trad indie rock have asked me about the record.

I love the Still House Plants. I was patient and let the album rewire me.

My attempt to listen to the Beyonce album did not last long. It was atrocious. The first song was just her making a bunch of awkward warbling noises for America. The second was a terribly overblown cover of Blackbird, which is possibly the Beatles's most precious and intimate song, the third had her complaining about how hard cooking, cleaning and earning $16 a day is. At that point I gave up on this billionaire. She seems to have forgotten Beyonce, the person who made great pop songs.

Kind of glad that some of the A-List artists released duds this year.

TBH it's just the magic of the p4k BNM in action. I also have friends who would have never given it the time of day if it weren't for that.

there have been a couple dozen bnms already this year, but this was the first 9+ bnm in years. which i guess still means something!
