lol

is that supposed to be a crowd of '500,000+'?

it doesn't even look as big as the pyramid stage crowd, which shirly tops out around 80-90k

for reference, wembley stadium in the UK is a 90,000 seat stadium

God help us all.

i hope they have extra paramedics on hand tonight to cope with the perforated eardrums and death from exhaustion that's sure to occur

There are like 3-5 version of West Coast already right?
Original
Radio Edit
Remix
German Radio Edit

I feel like Im missing one.
As far as I know there's 3:

The original (that's the Rob Orton Remix)
The Radio Edit (the Dan Auerbach Remix)
The Radio Mix (the lastest one for Germany)

And none of them were sent to radio. Interscope is a mess.

My bop for today is something I've listened to a lot last year.

Is Tropical - Dancing Anymore (warning: the video is NSFW)

From their solid album I'm Leaving.



And speaking of indie pop bands, here's one also worth listening to. This one is more mainstream, so I think most of you guys would like it, especially fans of early Vampire Weekend.

Crystal Fighters - You And I



From the very good album Cave Rave.

Has this official radio mix of West Coast been posted? It sounds like a complete different song :deadbanana: I really like it though. I think it's for Germany (Summertime Sadness and Dark Paradise got a Radio Mix there).

What is this lounge bar realness

The original >>>

probably posted elsewhere but this is my bop of the day: https://soundcloud.com/annie-mac-presents/austra-lose-it

I really like this! And it's a free download, woo-hoo!

Well, I can share pictures to illustrate the point:

Cardinal_vowel_tongue_position-front.svg


Cardinal_vowels-Jones_x-ray.jpg


It is more difficult to sing a note on a close vowel because what happens with your tongue (and your larynx, which rises slightly) makes it more difficult to maintain the combination of right efforts that produces resonance. So many singers will change an "i" sound or an "e" sound to an "a" or "ah" sound, because it is easier to produce.

Mariah will sometimes start a note on a close vowel and then transition to an open vowel (like the "be" at the climax of Vision of Love in many live performances, or on the last belted "sea" in America The Beautiful in 1990). And singing the chorus in Without You, which sits very high, on closed vowels is a large part of what makes that performance so difficult.

There's a vowel chart here, too, which positions different vowel sounds based on height (high or low with degrees in-between) and backness (how far forward or backward in the mouth does the tongue peak).

A great example of this is the acapella version of "Vision of Love" here, where you hear her sing "Beeeee-yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah."

And here's another of her singing "Vanishing" where she changes the vowel sound from "awaaaayyyyy-ahhh."

There are certain recommendation for singers who have difficulty singing closed-vowel sounds in their upper register, but the gist is that you choose vowel sounds that won't distort the listener's ability to understand what you're communicating.

Touchdown and Gravelord are the new Dragonz / You Know Nothing, Mary Jane Holland.

First things first, I'm the realest (realest)
Drop this and let the whole world feel it (let them feel it)
And I'm still in the Murda Bizness
I can hold you down, like I'm givin' lessons in physics (Right)
You should want a bad bitch like this (Huh?)
Drop it low and pick it up just like this (Yeah)
Cup of Ace, cup of Goose, cup of Cris
High heels, somethin' worth a half a ticket on my wrist (On my wrist)
Takin' all the liquor straight, never chase that (Never)
Rooftop like we bringin' '88 back (What?)
Bring the hooks in, where the bass at?
Champagne spillin', you should taste that...
