I detect no lies, though I would also add Gold Trans Am.

The bonus tracks really should have been in the album proper.

 

[Souldriver]

Shake you up from Leona Lewis is pretty great.


Even though I want to reach across my speakers and hurt her when she says "cun ye turn de music up a lil bit plz", the song itself has an awesome 80s sound to it. Especially the second part of the chorus is lovely. It's that extra layer of baseline that does it.

This reminds me Koo, your CUNT SALESMANSHIP made me purchase the Bond 50 boxset. :3

LET THE ENTERTAINMENT BEGIN

 

[twobear]

I don't want to be a cunt about this but there's only like five good Bond films overall. Most of them are kind of bad.

I don't care tbh, the box set was cheap and I think they are all good films in their own right, though somewhat dated. Though I think our opinions are completely incompatible at this point so meh

As should be.

What are these lies.

There are at least ten great Bond films.

SEVERINE *O* So flawless and beautiful

I tried to watch License to Kill a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't remotely entertaining. It was just tedious.

No, youre right. shits a franchise. thats just how it works. Pretty much the same plot and structure every time.

ESCHAWRONG as per

 

[Esch]

ESCHAWRONG as per

hey man i like them too, but honestly how many bond films follow the exact same plot line? A bond thats "too old for this" takes on a super rich evil villain with super gimmicky assistants (oddjob, jaws, etc) who secretly has some stupid ass star wars esque super weapon (usually a satellite). There's rarely any variety to it. And even if there was, thematically they never change. The gray gray world of espionage is pretty much portrayed as black and white, until the girl that james bond wantonly fucks gets shot in the back to save his life or something. There's no internal conflict. Nothing. Bond would be stale as shit by this point without the influence flowing in from the Bourne movies.

Even Skyfall while good was kind of stupid. Bardem went to so much stupid trouble to mess with

Spoiler

M and the whole time she never even looked like she was gonna lose her job. If he wanted to just kill him and her he could have snuck into her house like Bond did and done it with .00005% of the effort

.

Despite all the iterations of bond, i'd only say a couple of them are among the best spy movies.

 

[Nemesis_]

You're right but then there wouldn't be a film. >_>

I get that they're formulaic, but they're fun. I don't watch them expecting CITIZEN KANE or the next iteration of LES MIS.

They are what they are :3

Praying rn that it is 1991 EP quality.

Some of Fantasea was amaazing. See: Luxury, Esta Noche (stay pressed botty), Neptune.

EDIT- That Carly Cosmo cover is god awful. She looks older and that hair is just.....

I didn't realise other people liked Luxury. I thought I was the only one. ;_;

The Neptune clip makes me so nauseous, it's ruined the song for me.

 

[Mumei]

Mariah performed at the Rockefeller Tree Lighting and sounded fantastic.

There's a clip for Neptune? Are you sure you don't mean Atlantis?

Oh, Neptune - Atlantis they all have aquatic themes *.*

 

[twobear]

I kind of liked the video for Atlantis. It was pretty obviously deliberately ratchet, though of course that didn't stop people dragging it for being ratchet. People will find any excuse to drag true artistry though.

There's gotta be a method to the madness bb. I saw what she was trying to do with that video, but it was still a mess.

 

[Nemesis_]

I think M.I.A. does the best ratchet videos tbh. I just felt like Azealia's was too messy. That hair and that colour overload literally made me feel a little bit sick, it really got to me >_>

Yep. Azealia jumped the shark with that video...literally.

 

[twobear]

In all seriousness I don't think it was a great video, but I do think people were dragging it for being bad at things that it was obviously trying to do on purpose. It was definitely not anywhere near as good as the videos from the 1991 EP, which were basically all perfect.

Charli XCX - Cloud Aura ft. Brooke Candy

I don't appreciate all these indiepop white girls featuring Brooke Candy.

EdiT: Apparently Rihanna's Jump was originally supposed to be a M.I.A. song. FUNNY THAT.

 

[twobear]

I'm going to attribute Unapologetic's sales to the same morbid fascination that people rubberneck when they see a car accident. Even I have to admit that I'm quite interested in hearing Nobody's Business.

Not enough to spend money on it though. I'll wait until her sales inflation tactics end and it's available on Spotify.

The best song this week to feature footage of Godney in the video.

Lucky him. No one would have even heard it on her album, and it'll likely be a single from Rih.

She's so nice helping people become relevant. Maybe this guy can be the next Calvin Harris.

You're forgetting Thinking of You, Last Goodbye, Gold Trans Am, and Past Lives. The deluxe tracks all shit.

 

[twobear]

I remember seeing Calvin Harris in my first year of uni when he was singing songs like Acceptable in the 80s.

I could never have imagined that he would find such a unique and fresh sound with his masterpiece Bounce and help propel pop stars into new stratospheres of fame.
