Has anyone listened to this album? Is that Teen Mom show big on this side of the atlantic? Apparently hipsters are calling it genius outsider music. It's fairly odd alright but the most surprising thing to me about it, as someone completely unfamiliar with her up to yesterday, is that it sounds like all that other horrendous autotuned mtv dance music shit (whatever thats called) and has those stabby synth sounds etc but it's actually really good. her background seems to make her an unlikely candidate for a groundbreaking musical talent, that's what i put all the fuss down to - her sort shouldn't be so musically talented.

Glad you're covering this album. It really is an extraordinarily strange and surprisingly moving album. Get over the kitchsy sleeve and inside is something much stranger and discordant and abrasive than any reality show star has a right to make.

No, I'm sorry - you're trying to impose some kind of avant garde status onto something that is simply naive and lacking in musical understanding. It's just bad - a mish mash of whatever the easiest beats to get hold of were, a really cheap and repetitive synthesizer noise and a vocalist who has no idea how to sing and comprehends neither syntax nor rhythm. Any attempt to intellectualize this bollocks is most unedifying. I insist that you cease forthwith!

Anyone like the new Grimes album?

It's moving, as it's so bare and honest

There's not so much as a hint of hipsterism to it

can discern almost no difference in lyrical theme/subject and musical sorroundings between that and this

what say you thumped??
 
Total Horseshit.

No, it is- Bare and honest, the voc effect makes it even more moving, or somewhat shy
love the lines:
“My anger is my power” and “would have blame it all on you, but it’s the easiest thing to do”
thanx for book suggestion, have lots to read as it is
Glad there was no thumped when I was 13
 
I hate giving this stuff any sort of recognition (even acknowledging this shit almost makes it famous) BUT this is a really odd one.

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, yer wan who does (or maybe that's now 'did') some property type show on BBC or Chan4 has come out with a song. I hope this doesn't turn into some sort of bandwagon.
