Ashley Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Within this thread: Which means 1% of all posts in this thread are you talking about Bjork (although I don't really care that much as I'm used to the nature of this thread now, but stats are always nice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Sorry, that single post about her must have really annoyed you to skip. I'm pretty sure I've not gone about her for almsot a year or something. Something hasn't been said for a year, and therefore needs to be said? It's not "I love you" to your partner. It's boring, pretentious dross which boils down to you drooling over the same artist and album over and over. I don't mention how much I love The Sufferer And The Witness constantly. Once it's been said, people will read it, take in the information if they want to, or not, and then move on. Repeating it over and over does nothing except annoy the people who choose not, by forcing them to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 In short: GET IT ALL! Sweet, thanks for that Paj, in that case I won't listen to the two I've picked up straight away - well maybe a quick listen - and I'll keep my eye out for the rest, I'm in no rush to get it all but will definitely be checking out the discography in the not to distant future I reckon.

ipaul Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Kid A is just fucking awesome. Everything in it's right place, especially the live version, is quite possibly my favourite song ever. Closely followed by Kid A On another note, I have just discovered La Roux and am wondering what took me so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Calm down people. Daft Punk are one of those bands I'm in desperate need of listening to properly. And considering I want to, and they're so advertised on this site, I've not yet to. I'm avoiding listening to the songs posted here out of context, insted waiting for the sacred time when I'll listen to a full album. Are they on Spotify? *goes to check* In other news, I broke down and bought a single track from the High School Musical 3 soundtrack. I Want It All. I've never such an OTT, brilliant song in my life. The bit in the film is amazing. I might end up buying all the songs by Ashley Tisdale's character. They're gold. The rest I hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Daft Punk are one of those bands I'm in desperate need of listening to properly. And considering I want to, and they're so advertised on this site, I've not yet to. I'm avoiding listening to the songs posted here out of context, insted waiting for the sacred time when I'll listen to a full album. Are they on Spotify? *goes to check* They are indeed on Spotify. I wouldn't know how to suggest listening to them. My first instinct would be to listen to 'Discovery', which is by far their most accessible album but I've been listening to Daft Punk well over 10 years now and 'Homework' is undeniably fantastic. I suspect you'll find 'Human After All' the weakest, and as a studio album that'd be my reckoning. Played live, it is completely different. I think 'Alive 2007' is simply the best live album I have ever heard. I think 'Make Love' is my favourite Daft Punk track (off 'Human After All' ). It's less a song and more a perfect vibe. I know a lot of people like Daft Punk but I've listened to them so long they have taken on a completely different meaning to me. Not sure if that makes sense.

Anyway lol it's not as if you were comparing Radiohead to La Roux, just stating that they are another band that you are interested in, I like both too for that matter.

Paj! Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I been solidly playing La Roux since I got it (near end of June). Love it. I think it would be PERFECT, if Reflections Are Protection was left off the album though. It's good, but just not as good as the rest, and so brings the whole thing down a bit. A perfect 10 track playlist would be brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I think the thing that puts me off that album is she sounds so bored and distinterested herself. Like in Bulletproof she sound slike she's struggling to get through the lyrics "And...I'll....be...bullet.......proof" I imagine she gives a long sigh after that part which is edited out. Its a good and interesting album but not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-likes-trees Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Been listening to alot of Pacewon & Mr Green of late, The Only Colour That Matters is Green is a pretty great album. And The Joker samples Daft Punk (Back on topic, pow!) In other news, MEGAWINZ, my friend won Simian Mobile Disco tickets from itunes for tomorrow, convinced him to take me, yey. Any fans? I need to listen to more of their stuff quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good and interesting album but not for me. I get that feeling in some of the live performances, but otherwise, not really. You said yourself you were put off by her media personality, so that probably coloured it for you. I find her style quite refreshing. I'm bored of the vocal gymnastics of "smokey voice babe of the month" like Pixie Lott, Duffy, Paloma Faith etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This... her style is different and her voice is likable, I don't think she sounds bored when singing, quite the contrary, she sounds like she's having fun singing most of the tracks but still manages to perform them in a serious way.

Hmm. On the album, I find a lot of the tracks are more happy and joyous than serious or bored-sounding. There are a lot of joyous hooks on the albums, like As If By Magic, Colourless Colour, the singles etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Definitely, I just meant that it's nice to see that she takes her vocals seriously even if the songs themselves are more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
