Todd In The Shadows Thread

I prefer this from Bastille:

Posted OHW: "Informer" by Snow. Hmm... not the song I was expecting.

He put a clip of that song in the "Rude" review.

I hear this song at work a lot. TBH I prefer it when they play UB 40's Red Red Wine instead.

Which, fun fact, was originally a Neil Diamond song and didn't sound in the slightest like reggae.

Though even Neil Diamond does the reggae version when he performs it in concert now.

And Todd doesn't like UB40...

I know. I have both versions on my iPod.

I like how just the shift of tone changes how I interpret the song.

Why should I care if Todd hates UB 40. Reviewers aren't preachers bellowing dogma.

Of course they are! That's why everyone Todd has said wouldn't last never had a second hit!

Could've been worse. This was apparently a thing back in the day:

Somehow, it was pretty popular in the UK and made its way onto several movie soundtracks: Dumb and Dumber, Clueless, Biodome... (Hell, I know this is never going to make it onto OHW on account of it never reaching the US charts, but I'd love to find out what Todd makes of this chimera.)

Maybe he can dip his feet into other nations' OHWs as well for some variety if he wants. He kinda sorta did that with "How Bizarre".

Man, is Todd going to have some fun with the new Katy Perry single.

"This is how we do"...? I'm getting Z.Frank vibes with his "true facts about[insert animal]" series.

Katy Perry sounded kinda bored in that song.

...Eh, it's no big deal.

Todd's planning on doing a new sub-series in the next couple of days. Like Disneycember. Cool!

Judging by some his earlier tweets I'm guessing it will be movies staring Madonna.

@Minespatch: That was exactly what I was thinking too!

"This is How We Do" is kind of... boring. I had better first impression of "Roar". That's saying something. As mentioned above, Katy herself sounds bored.

"This is how we roll, This is how we do..."

Huh. Montell Jordan isn't a one-hit wonder after all.

I've just realized something:

Todd doesn't just hate misogyny; he hates sexism in general.

It's the reason why he hates Chris Brown (misogyny) and Beyonce (misandry) so much, and it's a pet peeve trope for him when it comes to artists that aren't otherwise like that regularly.

Desperately Seeking A New Sub-Series. (In which Dr. Starky is completely right!)

Egad, he is going to review Body of Evidence, even without Lupa or the Chick.

Edit: how did that happen? I know I copied it.

Here's the right link.

Fun fact: The next film in the series (Shanghai Surprise) was produced by George Harrison. There are also rumors that he and Madonna had an affair during filming.

Breaking news, relatively intelligent person doesn't care for overly sexist songs.

I was more surprised when reading down her filmography that she was the executive producer for the Agent Cody Banks films.

Part of me wishes this series was titled "SIMMADONNA"
