393. Selena Gomez & the Scene - Who Says
Played during the 'Monte Carlo' trailer at the drive-in last night and has been EMBEDDED in my brain ever since. Super cheesy but completely catchy.

This song is the fucking worst. I don't even know what to say about it so I'll just quote this review from RYM.

Oh, look, another song telling girls that they're beautiful NO MATTER WHAT. Do you realize how much we're inflating girls' egos through songs? This is why we have bitches in the world. Tell you what, give them some conditional love. "If you're a good person, you're beautiful". That'd be an improvement instead of mindless girl-power phrase-waving.
Who told Selena that girls need to be told they're beautiful and perfect anyway? Nobody's perfect. And even ugly chicks can score a nice guy that treats them well. I've seen it. Ugly parents probably have the best marriages, in fact. And their kids always turn out hot. I don't get it.

Not sure this warrants a new thread, but I know a few of you were fans of Smoke Weed About It, so here's WALSH's new free EP. Let me know what y'all think.

Spotify features the most revolting artists in their ads, I often wonder who actually listens to this on their own free will.
I never thought about it before, but Rush's "Vital Signs," off Moving Pictures, has a sort of reggae thing going on. Don't know if it was deliberate, but would make sense with all of the New Wave/ Post Punk reggae and dub influence that pervaded popular music in the early eighties.
So the new Girls album gets a 9.3 on the Fork. I have given it a go and the appeal of this is almost as lost on me as that of Odd Future. It is well recorded, however.
Been listening to a lot of metal lately and unearthing stuff I never got around to the first time around.
But I'm seriously having trouble with Amorphis when they fire up the Moog. It's just too.... silly.

If you like that Scando-prog black heaviness without Moog, try Children of Bodom or Darkane.

'Spirit of Radio' breaks down into some ill-advised skanking towards the end too iirc

Never thought of it that way before, but yeah, wow, totally OTM: "And the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall......CONCERT HALL!!" All accents on the 2's and 4's, rocksteady as all get-out.
Wow. Rush were influenced by reggae. This is a groundshaking revelation and paradigm shift in Vivian's understanding of the canon.
It needn't. Rush isn't in the canon.
The heschers' [sic] canon, he means.

Call me a cyncic but I can't help assuming Rush were influenced by The Police rather than reggae

Yeah, definitely secondhand smoke. I remember the Signals tour program had a picture of them recording on some yacht and there were red, gold and green colours in the background. At least the Police kind of integrated it into their sound in an honest way. Sounds way more perfunctory and gimmicky in the few places it crops up in the Rush catalog.
I've been using the Google Music Beta for a couple weeks now, and I like the ability to play my music from home or work, and the Instant Mix button, but I don't like the 20,000 track limit that's actually lower than 20,000 tracks, and the occasional odd track selections that Instant Mix makes: the mix based on "(I Love the Sound of) Breaking Glass" includes 3 versions of that song, is made up of mostly Nick Lowe, Dave Edmonds & Rockpile tracks, and out of left field, a Hudson Brothers track, and then Nick Lowe ends up in an Instant Mix based on Lightning Bolt?
In the James Blake vs. Skrillex war of ambien-step vs. bro-step, we all lose.
Almost everything I want to start a thread about at this point I just end up dumping in this thread instead.
Mission Accomplished
Way to ruin everything, Viv.
Seems like Futureheads owe their whole career to Wire. Or their debut album at the very minimum.
So I took a few days off and Bert Jansch dies. I assume the reason this doesn't have a 30 page thread is because you are all still crying, right?

Just learned that Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren" actually debuted on The Monkees.

Because the imperative preceding the colon is not an independent clause? I see this construction all the time.
Yes, that's why. And yes, you do see it all the time.
