Mr. Que, Thursday, 18 February 2010 20:15 (fifteen years ago)

are we forgetting the purpose of this thread?

subversive time travel (FACK), Thursday, 18 February 2010 20:16 (fifteen years ago)

To distract from the subject at hand?

i'm considering incorporating nate dogg into the mix, it would probably make it more interesting

subversive time travel (FACK), Thursday, 18 February 2010 20:18 (fifteen years ago)

The XX by some distance.

Anyone heard the new Girls single "Morning Light"?

o. nate, Thursday, 18 February 2010 21:19 (fifteen years ago)

here is a link to it

slapped by a bear (HI DERE), Thursday, 18 February 2010 21:20 (fifteen years ago)

i'm too lazy to link to it, but the two 'security cam footage' videos that pfork tv posted of the xx this week are great -- a lot of these gimmick live video ideas just come off as... gimmicks but since the xx's music feels like you're spying on the band fleshing out an intensely personal matter the whole aesthetic worked really well

J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 February 2010 21:22 (fifteen years ago)

i've heard "lust for life" and can't get enough of it, what else should i check out by them?

vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 18 February 2010 21:45 (fifteen years ago)

Funhouse is their masterpiece

Mr. Que, Thursday, 18 February 2010 21:47 (fifteen years ago)

XX

Everyone hates Girls it seems. Not many likes XX. This is like Hitler v Idi Amin.

Hinklepicker, Friday, 19 February 2010 03:06 (fifteen years ago)

I voted for Girls.

Girls I do adore.

I relistened to the Girls Album last night to see if it still holds up for me. From the title, I couldn't place "Morning Light" or remember what it sounded like. It turned out that it was the somewhat out of place, kind of shoegazer song near the end. It seems like an unusual choice for a single, but I liked it more than I remember. I think it's a refreshing change after the preceding songs, since it downplays the vocals and focuses more on the band sound, and it kind of rocks out a bit. I think it's easier for me to get all the way through the Girls album since it seems more varied - I tend to lose steam about halfway through the xx album. Hard to say which is better. The xx members seem like nice, clean-cut kids, whereas the Girls guy seems like your typical narcissistic, drug-addled, horny rock musician.

o. nate, Friday, 19 February 2010 15:58 (fifteen years ago)

Steely Dan... or XTC.
