Am I all alone here thinking that the two songs don't sound THAT similar? The Gaye estate realizes that the only reason Thicke and his people did the preemptive suit and settlement offers is to save on legal fees, right?
apparently people keep downvoting this because they're unaware that many people who have done as many drugs as Lou Reed did not live to the ripe old age of 71. Obnoxious downvoters.
Kind of surprised by all the Katy Perry hate. She's not going to change anyone's life but a lot of her songs are fun pop music (Dark Horse included). Nuthin' wrong with that.
So yeah, really disappointed the last question of this interview wasn't more like:
Stereogum: So, yeah?
Charli: Yeah? yeah.
Stereogum: yeah.
Charli: So... yeah!
I think Hall & Oates, Kiss, Nirvana will get in. Gabriel, Yes, Cat Stevens, and NWA will all almost certainly get in the next few years. Everyone else could be waiting a while.
Not that I think the R&R HOF is some sacred institution but there is a limited amount of inductees every and rock music has been around for a long time. There are a lot of acts to get to.
I don't remember if Tegan and Sara were mentioned in that "icona Pop and the death of Guitar Rock" article, but they should have been. No band or group has more prominently traded in their guitars for turntables than these two.
This was covered already (and more in depth) by Grantland. But really, the beef is between the agency and the promoter. The Promoter is seeking reimbursement for the money he gave Deadmau5 since Johnson didn't pay up and the agency is suing him.
Half now, half when the job is done. Everyone knows this. Han knew it, Obi Wan knew it (even if he was planning on cheating Han when they reached Alderaan). Even in a galaxy far, far, away. They knew this.
I completely disagree about your assertion that no one would yell anything like this at a man. Because the comment wasn't about looking "sexy" (something that seems lost on many people) it was about looking healthy. If a (male) lead singer of a band looked anorexic, you think he wouldn't get heckled. You think if he was obese he wouldn't get heckled? Yeah? You're wrong. And I'll you something else, because it was a man lead singer and not a women, people would not feel the least bit obligated to say something as miled as "get healthy".
I hope my comment gets enough down votes to get into the top five. It is probably the best thing I've ever said on 'gum. Be nice if it got some recognition.
Pretty sure the gender mattered, 10 minutes ago when you were saying things like "c'mon guys" and this entire comment: "true, but putting on my detective hat and my knowledge of drunk asshole at concerts, yelling at the stage is typically reserved for men. (with the exception of the 17 year old girl yelling I love you Conor 20 times at a bright eyes show I went to ten years ago)."
If you're intent was to discourage heckling regardless of gender, maybe you shouldn't have been the one to introduce it into the conversation.
Judging? What the hell are you even talking about? It's not like the woman shouted "Show us your tits" or "Eat something!"
Though inappropriate, the fan was basically saying "I'm worried about you." How is that judging? Then, you're completely ignoring the fact that Fiona went completely off the handle after, indicating that there actually very well could be reason to worry about her. Even if it isn't directly related to her appearance.
Your initial reaction was wrong. Stop trying to justify it and move on.
I've been to the mountain top twice, the only peak left to conquer remains the coveted "editor's choice" nod. Despite a, well an okay amount, of casual posts on relatively unpopular posts over the last 4 months I've not only failed to reach my goal but now have been forced to see Rubjon beat me to the summit. And I thought it was rough last week when I found out my ex (one of 2 women in my life I've ever been in love with) had been dating one of my best friends in secret for the last three months... hard times, indeed.
Nice bright melody, but the lyrics are completely asinine. Is that really the best she can do? Really liked Crazy For You but these two haven't shown me much since.
