She did. She was totally random and all over the place - but was obviously kind of drunk, like Glenn Close.
I thought it was kind of cute. And very sincere.

Well, 1D is pretty crap. But this is a conversation I can't weigh in on.

1D are so painstakingly stage-managed to have maximum appeal to clueless teenage girls I can't even watch anything of theirs without cringing.

Just discovered the WeChat app. Fun chatting with random ppl from around the world.
This music talk makes me feel old. I haven't listened to new music on a regular basis in about a decade at this point. If you lined pop ladies up for me to point them out, I couldn't tell the difference between Nicki Minague (sp?) or, umm.. some other singer lady.
Beyonce! Nah, I take that back; I could probably identify her.
*snaps fingers*
Who's that "rolling in the deep" girl? Her! I couldn't telling "Rolling Girl" apart from the "Minague lady." (to my credit, I know that they're two separate people! Ha!)
Seriously. After a certain point, they all began to blur together into a "Kardashian*" mess to me. Aside from TV or movie actresses who were widely known before 2000, I usually don't know the folks in the funny gifs here in this thread. Take away my gay card.

Don't forget Kylie Minaj.
Now this one I know! The last time I did the club scene to any extent was around when the clubs were still playing "Can't Get You Out of My Head." That was a pretty good era for music. My favorite from back then was that Sonique song about how "your love, it keeps me alive." Something like that.
Now, the only time I hear that song is when it's used in the Room Store's Cindy Crawford Collection commercials..
She outed herself a few years ago when she thanked her partner at some other show.
...he was kidding. Unless you're also kidding, in which case I'm confused.
You're thinking of Kylie Minogue. The two you can't name in your original post are Nicki Minaj and Adele (who sings Rolling in the Deep). I can understand not being able to identify different people, and I kind of wish I didn't know this information, but Kylie Minogue, Nicki Minaj, and Adele don't even sound remotely similar. i mean, really
come on

Or, as my mum calls her, 'Ricky Ninja'.

And why is that? What kind of music do you listen to?
I knew of Kylie Minogue (through that one song), and I've heard of the other folks you've named.. but I honestly could not identify them visually in a line-up, and Rolling in the Deep and Can't Get You Out of My Head are likely the only songs of those three that I could name. I pay that little attention. After college ended (circa 2001), I just stopped caring. Really.
Podcasts? Video game music? NPR? Not much as far as commercial music goes. I'll listen to the old stuff from my college years (Ben Folds, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Asylum Street Spankers, etc..) and any older music (I love Cole Porter's stuff, Ella Fitzgerald, classic jazz, etc).
tron-cycle say what?
This took me waaaaaaay too long, but I feel it was totally worth it.

Oh sis...I just don't know what to say to you. You're like Austin Powers in the Spy Who Shagged Me. You've missed so much...

The thing is.. when I get glimpses of what I've supposedly missed, I don't feel like I'm missing-out on all that much. I've become incredibly, remarkably grumpy and hypercritical with pop culture over the past decade, save for a short list of TV shows I enjoy.
(and I love the Austin Powers reference. Damn good.)
(edit: in retrospect, the second half of the 90s were a bit of an anomaly for me. I didn't follow pop music that much before then either. I was that weird little 6th grader with his Walkman tuned to NPR while riding the bus, hoping to hear Nina Totenberg before we got to school.)
RatskyWatsky
Hunky Nostradamus
You listened to NPR when you were in 6th grade?
Hmmm....
Your problems go deeper than I imagined. I think shock therapy is the avenue for you. I know a guy who can help you out with that. He's a little pricey, but I'd trust him with my life. I can give you his number if you want.
Hey, NPR owns. I basically listened to that and Radio Disney up until I was about 13, and then basically ditched Radio Disney for NPR full-time. I listened to Car Talk on the way to martial arts on Saturday mornings, and my mom and I would try to eat lunch real quick afterwords so we could listen to This American Life in the car, then get our errands done in time for Prairie Home Companion later in the evening.

Then my offer extends to you as well! Think carefully before answering though - this will be a life changing experience for you. There's no turning back.
Yep.
Weird thing.. my first non-celebrity crush was in 6th grade. My teacher, Mr Kuhn. He was a twentysomething coast guard reservist with a chiseled jaw and a godly body. Mmm. Such a stud.
He encouraged my odd news junkie behaviour: one morning in homeroom, I had my headphones on (trying to be subtle, walkman in the bookbag, wearing only one earbud) he scolded me for listening to music during announcements. I corrected him and told him that I was waiting for a special report about midterm primaries.. this kinda took him by surprise. Two weeks later, he started a school club where we could watch CNN during recess with him if we wanted to. The club ended-up having eight regular members, and having such a great role model/crush was fantastic for me, I think. It helped a lot.
Later on, when I met my partner in college, he mentioned on the first date that he loved Prairie Home Companion, Car Talk, Science Friday, etc. It was a good sign.

So yeah.
My partner and I had a prelim conversation tonight about maybe opening up our longterm relationship at least on a trial basis and it went pretty well. It was all hypotheticals, but we covered some what ifs? and cleared the channels for further conversation. We've always been able to talk about anything, and this was no different. We've only had three rules this whole time. 1). Honesty, 2). Monogamy, with open conversation if either of us was tempted to cheat, and 3). No going to bed mad.
It's served us well this whole time, and I feel good that we could be adults and supportive of one another for this talk. Nothing has changed, but the door has been knocked on.

It makes me sad when I hear that people don't keep up with music.
The new Toro Y Moi is soooo damn good. Can't wait for the vinyl to arrive next week.

Are they? I guess I didn't get that memo.
Where are you? When I was in London, eeeeverone wanted either Spanish or Brazilian. Scandinavian was considered boring.

I don't understand why she waited until she was 50 years old, especially when everybody already knew anyway.
This would have been better if she'd done it at the height of her popularity in the 90s when she made some of her best films like Silence of the Lambs and Contact.

This is the best Kylie song. So effervescent! This is what pop should be about.

Tolerant, progressive laws and tall, statuesque blond people.
Bold words from the #2 poster in the One Direction thread.
Holy shit, LMAO. So cute that you're keeping track of my posting stats <3
But seriously, you should have done a better job at stalking me, I've posted music recommendations in this thread and it's nothing like 1D. In fact, 1D it's the only pop music I've listened to in years, because as I've said, pop is not my thing. Really, look at what I posted here some months ago, I even feel kind of bad that the only "alt rock" you like is something like Coldplay or The Killers.

Putting Adele in the same category as Nicky Minaj and other popstars physically hurt me. She is a terrific singer who's one of the few out there who sounds 10x better live than on any recording.
Re: the rest of the music discussion. Honestly trashing someone for his music taste is one of the most ridiculous thing in the world. That people don't like the same things should be celebrated, not ridiculed. If someone enjoys pop, then good for them. At least they're having a good time listening to music rather than agonizing about how cool or alternative they're being.
And I'm saying that when I don't really like Coldplay either, although I like 1D ok and I also listen to XX, Black keys, Marina and the diamonds and shit like that.
Well she explained it in her speech. Iirc, it all comes down to her being out to everyone around her, but not "on TV". She was a child actress and grew up under the spot light. I think that not coming out publicly was one of her last claim to privacy, which I sorta understand. Note that she didn't say out right she was a lesbian, even in her latest speech.

Lord, don't remind me of that abomination Coexist. Such a BORING album. I'm not a huge fan of Jamie XX's production and style either. They need to take the next album in a different direction or NOTexist.
I just enjoy razzing Del, in my defence. And I'm jealous that I don't have anyone to discuss music with even if it's just a bunch of people throwing a mountain of women gifs my way.
I'm really glad I found grooveshark recently, though. It's like Pandora but actually works outside of the states. I've come across a slew of bands I've never heard before that I'm really enjoying. Axxis is the only one I can think of by name though.

Less clothes > more clothes.
Not all of us can pull off a decent winter outfit like some folks
let me know when you guys want to do a threesome.
glad to hear things are going well!
Cold weather is great when you don't have to work.
Hot weather is awesome when you will be in office all day
What about slutty but fun/catchy pop?
I've been using Grooveshark for few months now and the thing is great. Last.fm (the recommendation system) + Grooveshark is the best combo to discover new bands.
Lol, like gloves or a scarf could make you look badLess clothes > more clothes.

I like cold even when I have to go outside. Bleh, I hate that feel when winter starts to fade and suddenly I don't need to wear gloves anymore.Cold weather is great when you don't have to work.

And no, I personally find "sexy/slutty" music tacky, trashy and... nope. But that's just me
