There needs be a pitchfork version of Now! That's What I Call Indie Hits. It would be full of stuff like this.

On Joolsie she just seems nervous. A lot of bands that have decent singles play on that show really badly, especially if it's their first time.

Someone should have told her to man up, stiff upper lip and all that

More of a Blue Jeans fan myself.

I don't really get the extreme adulation or hate but, for this song alone, I'm glad she exists. I think the album's going to suffer because it'll be rushed out - it's not even finished and it's already got a release date.

Jeans ON

I've just realised that this isn't a song at all. It's an ad.

 

[oh shit]

wow there - that is an inordinately vicious reaction to a silly pop star bernie. there is a tune, it's really catchy which is basically why most people listen to music (stupid inauthentic idiots!).

i suspect that the reason many indie snobs have it in for LDR is because she inadvertently exposes so much of contemporary indie 'blog' culture as the kitsch, vapid nonsense it really is. she's not authentic, they cry, bu - we are, even though it's basically indistinguishable from much of the shite that is feted in online communities (apart from actually having a good tune)

I heard this Video Games song yesterday whilst driving along listening to phantom.I paid special attention to it because I had read this thread.
I think its an excellently constructed and produced and fairly addictive pop tune....Its not the worst song in the world..I could imagine it translating successfully into any style.Did she write it?If she wrote it then I'd say yeah..she's got skillz.If not..she's nothing special.

LIPS

Edit...there was about 7 songs with female vocalists played actually.There seems to be a lot of female fronted music on phantom at the min...that St.Vincent song stood out.Very nicely put together.

Edit Edit..I just watched the Jools Holland live version there...I think she has a good voice CinnamonBoy ,its just her lip is messing shit up for her.And nerves.This song is really fucking growing on me.Edit Edit Edit...so much so that I'm gonna learn it on keyboard now.
Maybe I'll cover it.

i'm an inordinately vicious man. i smashed a folk singer's guitar today because i don't like the 60s. talk about inauthentic idiots...

I don't know, it sounded dodge to me.

Personally I don't give a hoot who she is, what her lips look like, whether she wrote the song or any of that shit. I hate her because the song has been playing in my head for the last few days and it will not stop. Gaz get that cover going ASAP so I can have someone's else's voice singing the melody in my head.

Lana Del Rey is the new Lily Allen

 

[pete]

I'd have said Chris Isaak

 

[Ewa]

There is some sick melancholy in the "Video Games " song,
interesting and pretty arangment. brings to mind Nick Drake's "River man", money well spent i think,
and her live singing is alright in key and she has a very gloomy kinda "why bother opening my mouth" way of uttering the words.

 

[egg_]

I even think the lyrics are good - she chooses to be submissive because she's getting an intense emotional payoff from it

Interested to hear your cover Gaz

I want Gazz to cover this:

Yeah..well, while I was playing around with it last night I just kinda ended up lifting her chord progressions and making me own tune out of it.
Which if I'm honest was my intention all along.
