holy shit new ABO WABO album

released literally three seconds ago & I downloaded it. listening now. within the opening beat I am certain this is the most significant cultural artefact of our age

it has like 400 guest stars fucking hell this transcends space & time

it occurs to me as the dust settles around the first chorus that everything about it is perfect. just amazing perfect pop.

tear up all the eoys

all of them. or at least reprint them with this album in zeroth place

have you like heard this bridge

there's a dude singing over it who isn't ABO WABO

fuck

A+

who could have thought this was even possible given ABO WABO's position at the Magnetic North of all culture ever. literally everyone will have trained microphones and handhelds onto ABO WABO, hoping to catch a glimpse of the future. but this has come out of nowhere. how was it achieved? seriously that shit's not even real

wtf is abo wabo

track two is simply confirming what I already knew: that this album is a spiritual manifestation of ABO WABO's undeniable brilliance, and was called into life simply by needing to exist

i hope you fall deaf sarahell, you don't deserve music, or America

oh my god i can't take this album. need oxygen fast

2. wabo
A racially confused species in Australia, similar to the American wigga. A wabo is a white person who wants to be an abo. Typically found in Maroubra, wabos are rarely seen in Redfern for fear of being called a "white cunt", an insult which is also used frequently by wabos against other white people. Many wabos claim some sort of Aboriginal heritage despite obvious physical features which would demonstrate the contrary. Required uniform is shiny oversized fubu, dada and everlast clothing which is proudly displayed congregating outside maccas and 7/eleven in large groups. Lebo shaved heads with rats tails and fringes are a must for the guys, whilst skanky westy hair (pulled back tightly with lots of gel and slut straps) is the look for the scary fat wabo chicks. Can be distinguished from the lebos by their lack of body hair and gold chains. Unlike their wealthier American counterparts, they are generally lower-middle class and often do manage to score the dole. Violent and angry because of all the wrongs white australia has perpetrated against them, wabos should be approached with caution.
Wabo: You owe me money ya white cunt!
Surfer: Fuck off you wabo gimp!

this obviously cost $4m per song to make and goddamn if this isn't how all music should be but can't

imago going hard on giddy responses to music, you tell em imago

if only everyone could follow your example

one person going giddy over north sea radio orchestra is infectious enthusiasm. an entire messageboard going legacy on freshminted moneypop is just gonna get the ABO WABO treatment sorry

manpology accepted

and speaking of ABO WABO, this quote from the third song just fucking *blew me away*

"People! We've got to work together! We've got to fight against this shit! Stand free! Stand strong! Everyone is people! Even me! Even you!"

like, so fucking refreshing to hear *anyone* coming out with that in these brutal times let alone ABO WABO, spokesperson for the millennium

it's okay to like things!!!!!

a rain shakira

a rain sean combs surely

that man again

oh the money pop song is a real banger, i'll give you that

the important lesson here is that if you want to blow everyone's mind with your music, you'd better be a multimillionaire recording artist with access to pretty much any producer in the world, a compliant press and a vision for perfect pop that'll get played in supermarkets, salons, clubs and even your own home!

i'm gonna have "Money MONEY MONEY ... pop pop ... whoo!" stuck in my head all day

I'm listening to the beyonce album right now btw, I like it so far

(I would use titular fictional bandname but LJ I have to know is it really based on an australian racial slur, I mean I know this is ilafl but)

but those gated drums ... it's like the second coming of early 80s Phil Collins ... so so perfect

track eight is just the sickest rhythm n grind str8 banger i've heard all night, and it's been a crazy night, although the lyrics also speak to me deeply

that's the one that goes

OOH YEAH OOH
SEX PARTY BABY

right?

yeah and also

LOVE IS GETTING CLOSER
WHERE IS IT I LOOK AROUND
IT'S YOU

xp - seriously that was my ballot concept

no i know

this thread isn't just about you. I was explaining to wins!

this thread is about music

I knew that too

:(

#77 - moanwave revival

british man disparages country pop

also lol are you actually gonna do this :D

for the first minute: this is very pretty. I like choral singing a lot.
second minute: wait, this is one person with pedals ... like the line 6
3rd minute: lol moanwave

after song 2: my musical universe has expanded a lot since i thought moanwave was the most creatively bankrupt subgenre of music

xp - only as long as the college radio station is still airing some boring sports thing

*gets really haughty in the defence of successful popstar*

on song 5: reminded that I really do like This Mortal Coil and there is definitely some shared aesthetic between Ms. B and them

song 6: beginning is classic moanwave
is "classic moanwave" an oxymoron?

"nifty moanwave" is

are the last five barwick tracks a major departure from the 1st 7?

Ciara & Nicki "I'm Out" is great -- there was a part where these choral vocals come in, and I'm like -- "Juliana Barwick?"

i wouldn't guess the last barwicks are, really; i'd given up by then

more re: ciara -- I think there are just some vocal tonalities/ranges that I like way more than others. Like on this Overdose song, the part where she goes "don't let go" is appealing, but the higher parts are in my bias zone and cause an initial flinch

the ciara was mostly pleasing tbh

parquet courts -- i don't like this guy's voice all that much

wait, something less appealing than this guy's voice, which is, I guess it's ok, less appealing is the guitar on this

does this band have a drum machine? it might as well.

surprised any music is registering with you, i don't recall a neural response, spotify was running and all

the bass player also doesn't get to do much that is interesting

i have heard this band on the college radio station a lot, but had no memory what they sound like

i'm going to sleep but keep going. try to incur some wrath

K Michelle - the "distressed" effects on the vocals reminds me of 80s and 90s sample-based electronic music -- actually, wait, the thing that this reminds me of the most was made by an ilxor

you might want to listen to an album called "Wild Why"

which is kinda fitting considering this thread started out as a parody of R&B/hip hop pop music

listening to Clean Bandit right now I am struck by the notion that if any of this shit places in the 2014 ILX EOY poll then we're all going to hell

for the benefit of sarahel's latterday interest in british demography, how would you describe the fans of clean bandit

emeli sande queenmontage houseparty borisbike aspirational wageslave cannonfodder

and wins, coz he likes everything, ffs

my 13 y/o australian cousin likes emili sande, i dont think i have ever heard emile sande

i don't know what that even means

she's like the poet laureate of shitty music, always gets wheeled out to represent Team GB in its many dreadful guises, with a blandness possibly unparalleled in the history of recorded sound

do you think clean bandit are too metropolitan-aspirational to appeal beyond the home counties? is it possible that 35 year olds in sunderland would like clean bandit?

queenmontage - ?
houseparty - i know what a house party is
borisbike - ?

houseparty is a bit vague to be a demographic, all sorts of demographics might attend house parties

Emeli Sandé was born Adele Emeli Sandé in Sunderland,[8][9][10][11] to a Zambian father, Joel Sandé, and English mother, Diane Sandé-Wood, on 10 March 1987. Her father moved from Zambia and met her mother while they were both at university in Sunderland.

lol i didnt know she was from sunderland

lol

sunderland has a university & is therefore prone to exposure. whether clean bandit would pervade beyond student digs might be moot though, as increasingly all those under the age of 50 are forced into comparable housing & the sharing of communal peccadillos such as clean bandit. they are the soundtrack to postbourgeoisie surrender & gradual entropy into workunit anhedonia

Her Montagesty The Queen

you're making it sound like this is dystopian soundtrack music

well,

like grim reapah blrhblblghghgbl

does clean bandit make you feel a tinge of nostalgia for the blokely hegemony of landfill indie, the reassuring volkisch platitudes of the razorlights and scouting for girlss of this world?

no; they approached total workfare assimilation from the other end. same principle, different origin

I don't really like the new clean bandit song :-(

one of the duds in animal collective has a new single and it is annoying

I can believe it
