@ Maxwell: The song you're looking for is "Imaginary Places" by Busdriver.

Weird coincidence, because that's just about the only song I know by him.

Ha hahaha hahaHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAAHA HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

There are some people who wish they could punch people over the internet. I wish I could hug people over the internet. You deserve all of the hugs and internets ever. Also, I correct myself. It soesn't sound that much like Aesop.

I just stumbled onto this duo called FEMM, who are supposed to be, like, two mannequins an agency found, made sentient, and had do music or something like that.

It's not bad, I guess, but Party All Night is by far their most boring song.

Saw her live yesterday and it was AMAZING. Apparently it's always how she does live sets : no computers, only hardware, everything played on the fly (with of course some pre-recorded presets).

Just thought I'd share this, since it's been on constant loop all day.

This has to be the most boring song of 2014.

No no, I've heard a lot of recent R&B that's at least decent. This is just... bland. So very very bland.

And the lyrics... they sound like middle school playground crap. I mean, "she's such a good kisser"? Really? What grown man goes around saying things like "you're a good kisser" outside of playing a character on a Disney Channel sitcom?

[up]It's Usher. Corniness or lameness are bound to ensue in his music.

I don't have much of a taste for R&B. Frank Ocean's my limit.

If you can consider this R&B then ... this is my limit :

Oh, crap! I like her, too.

Lemme rephrase: I rather like R&B, but I don't like the whiny-voiced falsetto army of Usher clones endlessly trying to fuck people in clubs.

I.e. R&B in the original sense of the word (Marvin Gaye and all), i.e. rhythm and blues.

Again I think that, much like Disclosure is more derp house than deep house, this calls for greater quality of language. Good R&B we'll keep calling it that, and crappy R&B will be, I don't know, rotten and gross ?

Rotten and gross sounds about right.

Edit : actually let's go with rotten and bawdy. I was thinking of rhythm and grime which is probably somehow an even worse genre than contemporary r&b.

Hey, I like Disclosure.

But anyway: I do like Marvin Gaye and what have you, but I don't like Usher. Unfortunately, everyone's trying to be Usher.

(Also, what's rhythm and grime?)

Me, personally, I go for the honking sax era of R&B, when the music really had rhythm and quite a fair bit of the blues.

[up][up]You mean apart from my worst nightmare (outside of PC Music) ?

Basically an endless stream of this. Pitched up vocals over trance-esque grime instrumentals.

And that's one of the least worst tracks the genre has to offer. It only gets worse as you dig deeper. And this is already obnoxious to the point of insanity.

I wouldn't call that obnoxious, just boring.

And come on, you have to give stuff like this credit:

Once again, the nominees for the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are in, and Deep Purple isn't up for consideration.

Anyway, I voted for Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, Kraftwerk, The Smiths, and N.W.A.

SRV, Green Day, NIN, Joan and Lou Reed are in the top 5 spots. Trent Reznor getting in before Kraftwerk would be a crime.

Voted for Chic, Kraftwerk, N.W.A., Nine Inch Nails and The Smiths.

Chic, of course, will never get in.

[up]You think N.W.A. is more likely?
