re-leased on October 27th

except i just looked on her website and it says it's "blasting the airwaves" or something?? is it already out?

anyway it's called "Trouble." i will be shattered if it doesn't rule.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:38 (twenty-two years ago)

It's already out and people across the globe are marvelling at how fucking awful it is!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't hurt Tracer Hand that way, he's still sad about the Red Sox.

(But Dan is right, actually.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

There was an NYLPM review of it a few weeks ago. Bit of a mess really, "fucking awful" is a bit strong though.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I figured that people read my posts with "massiveOverstatement=true" anyway, so why tone down the hyperbole.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

What has London done to poor little Tracer? I weep for him.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw the vid (a sort've "Blazing Saddles" romp of sorts). It's certainly not as shitty as her earlier stuff (I'm quite glad her R'n'B persona has been thoroughly exorcised), but I wouldn't call it especially classic.

The latest issue of BLENDER has her on the cover with distinctive Sue Catwoman eyemakeup and reprising the famous `Pistols exploding beer can photo within (much like SPIN posed her in Wendy O. Williams car-demolition mode a year or so ago). I guess the point is to bury her teen-pop-R'n'B diva past under a deluge of retrophilic punk trappings. I'm quite bored with hearing about what an individual she is while she's constantly relying on comparitive oldsters like Linda "shrill harpee" Perry and Tim Armstrong to scribble her `choons for her. Wake me when she embraces her inevitable post-punk phase.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh don't you worry about Tracer, he's fine. He and Gareth will always have Fabric.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Taking Sides: The excited praise of a Tim Finney vs the patronising half-approval of an Alex in NYC. Sorry nu-Pink, but I know which I'd choose!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

she came in my store by herself a couple of weeks ago and put her cds in front.

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha I have a friend who does that! Only she's a classical harpist, not a gravel-voiced poppina.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

i like "Trouble" kinda. the verse melody is good, and the rave-up at the end. i can't see it being good for her career, though.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate the way that she and everyone else acts as if her stuff on Can't Take Me Home was bland just because it was R&B.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 02:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, further proof of the evils of Linda Perry if you ask me. Not that she wasn't bland anyway, but we've been over that. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 02:03 (twenty-two years ago)

the video is really an '80s video

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 02:38 (twenty-two years ago)

was bland just because it was R&B.

Well.....wasn't it? I mean, even if you're a die-hard R'n'B fan, did it especially speak to you?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 11:20 (twenty-two years ago)

The syncopation in "There You Go" put it pretty far ahead of most of her contemporaries.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 12:10 (twenty-two years ago)

"Sometimes it be's like `dat!" still make me want to shoot holes through humans.

USE LORD'S ENGLISH ONLY PLEASE IE:

I caught this morning morning's minion,
Kingdom of daylight's dauphin,
Dapple-dawn-drawn falcon,
In his riding of the rolling level
Underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy!

Then off, off forth on swing,
As a skate's heel sweeps smooth on a bowbend:
The hurl and gliding rebuffed the big wind.

My heart is hiding
Stirred for a bird, the achieve of, the mastery of the thing!

Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here
Buckle! And the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion
Times told lovelier, more dangerous,
O my chevalier!

No wonder of it: sheer plod makes plough down sillion
Shine, and blue-bleak embers, my dear,
Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold vermillion

I caught this morning morning's minion,
Kingdom of daylight's dauphin

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

See, now if she's sung something like that, what a better, brighter world this would be.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Memo to P!nk: when come back, bring Windhover.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Everyone who sings in dialect must be shot! Every bass who has ever sung "Ol' Man River" or "Nobody Knows De Trouble I Seen" UP AGAINST THE WALL.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

"wanna"

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

s1utsky OTM. does noone appreciate Pink's attempts to fill the void left by Pat Benatar?

― Al (sitcom), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:14 (twenty-two years ago)

No.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I like Pink. (Come on, who else is even out there right now—the goddamn Distillers?) I like the new single. I like the new video. I may well wind up buying the new album (I didn't buy either of the last two, or even hear them all the way through). She needs to show up for more things drunk, though.

― Phil Freeman (Phil Freeman), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:24 (twenty-two years ago)

who else is even out there right now

I think the problem here is assuming that the role is required more than the singer who seeks to fill it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

my son this morning,
while we watched the video,
huge bar-fight, whip-fight:

'wow, she IS trouble!'
I replied, 'yes, sam, she is.'
(I love the single!)

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Y'know what though, her lite R&B stuff is soooo much better than her lite-punk/Foreigner with less mascara stuff...I think she's getting bad advice

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I love the single. Kinda raunchy in a tuff girl way. The girl's a soul singer, not a punk and I'm glad she's not trying to sing like one (on that single, at least. Hoping the rest of the album follows suit.) Ned, we need to find something to agree on, dude. I'm very pro-Linda Perry.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Gives me the hives, she does. We definitely agree on L7 and AC/DC at least.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Gulp. I kinda like it. It's like she totally went out of her way to overprove the P!nk=Punk equation.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan is that coz those songs work for a different vocal range? or is it related to the dialect bit or...?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 23 October 2003 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Sterling, if you're referring to my "UP AGAINST THE WALL" post, I was making fun of Alex. If you're referring to the syncopation thing, it's because "There You Go" is pretty much exclusively on the off-beat on every line.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 October 2003 02:41 (twenty-two years ago)

God fucking damn do I hate Pink's voice. Reminds me too much of the lead of Concrete Blonde, or of course Linda Perry. All mannerism. No subtlety. Similar to the front women of a billion bad cover bands. She sings like a brick.

I thought she might have had something special with "Get the Party Started," but every subsequent single, this one especially, has shown me what a fluke it was.

― My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Thursday, 23 October 2003 02:47 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah it was about the up against the wall post. i still don't get it. meh.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 23 October 2003 02:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex was being all curmudgeonly ("Sometimes it be's like `dat!" still make me want to shoot holes through humans. ) and I was taking his point to its xenophobic extreme.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 October 2003 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm new round here -- what's r&b done to upset Alex in NYC? Why the violent reaction?

― Enrique (Enrique), Thursday, 23 October 2003 13:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Call it his bete noire.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 October 2003 13:27 (twenty-two years ago)

>I thought she might have had something special with "Get the Party Started," but every subsequent single, this one especially, has shown me what a fluke it was.

But "Get The Party Started" was her worst single!

― Phil Freeman (Phil Freeman), Thursday, 23 October 2003 13:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Pink's singing voice sounds nothing like Linda Perry's. I can kinda hear the Johnette Napolitano thing (whose voice is so damn good and was subsequently "borrowed" by Eddie frickin Vedder), but only traces.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 23 October 2003 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)

But "Get The Party Started" was her worst single!

No it wasn't.

"Feel Good Time" maybe.

Pink's voice is, agreed, not really much like the two singers I mentioned. But they all annoy me in the exact same way.

― My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Thursday, 23 October 2003 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I think "Family Portrait" was far and away the weakest single. It's not a "single." Though I do think the fact that that particluar song was released was a commendable move, given how many kids come from that kind of twisted living situtaion.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 23 October 2003 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I like "Feel Good Time." And "Family Portrait." Shit, I even like "You Make Me Sick" from the first album.

― Phil Freeman (Phil Freeman), Thursday, 23 October 2003 15:10 (twenty-two years ago)

even like? "You Make Me Sick" is infinitely better than stuff like "Feel Good Time"!

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 23 October 2003 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm new round here -- what's r&b done to upset Alex in NYC? Why the violent reaction?

It's just me being stupid and infantile. Don't pay it any heed. I am renowned for talking out of my ass and using needlessly aggressive imagery. All bark but no real bite, I'm afraid.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 23 October 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Who has logged in as Alex in NYC?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 23 October 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

No it's me, don't worry. Just catastrophically hungover today (last night was the Killing Joke show at Webster Hall) and feeling like a tepid bowl of death at the moment. Also concerned that I was excessively obnoxious during certain portions of the evening, and am deciding that some changes are in order.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 23 October 2003 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Whoa Alex, I hope one of the changes you make is to the SEVERE LACK OF YOUR KILLING JOKE LIVE REVIEW.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 23 October 2003 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I was about to say, we must hear reports of honoured fire! (Also, hope ya feel better. :-))

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 24 October 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

There is a live review, but it's very....VERY lengthy. Dare I post it?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 24 October 2003 01:29 (twenty-two years ago)

You did and we thank you.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 24 October 2003 02:19 (twenty-two years ago)

yay!

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

cum to think of it, or think of it, there is some singer-with-acoustic guitar one of those Run The Roads...

― don (dow), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 21:27 (nineteen years ago)

in retrospect, I think "Trouble" is really really great.
