I really liked that one too. Not as much as The Party from the same album. I don't much care for the rest of it.
Yeah, it's a little spotty. I mean, with an opener like that it's almost kinda unfair. If you're gonna set the bar that high that early in an album you better be ready to follow it up.

Still, the few that are solid are extremely solid.

SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

apparently one of the guys in this group is Berry Gordy's grandson. How far we've come.

Something about this video makes me think... hyper-real.
And reading the article, wow. Yeah, this is definitely a blending of fantasy and reality.
But I meant more in the way of that artist who made wax sculptures of people that were ultra-realistic and put them in art galleries, and it would be like, a janitor with a bunch of cleaning supplies.
or Chuck Close.

Something about this video feels... high-definition? or something? It is so crisp, there are so many things going on, it doesn't seem to take place in the imaginary world of rap videos. It is in a pool at a hotel and everyone is doing these insane things.

I've probably listened to St. Vincent's The Strangers forty times in the last two days. I even dreamed of it.

Ok, the last page of this thread has made me feel like I tripped and fell into an alternate dimension.  A dimension where everything is the same except all the musical artists are different.

Then suddenly I clicked on this link...and... I heard this song.   I KNOW THIS SONG...  I'm syncing back to reality.  Why does everyone know St. Vincent but me?

How did I miss some cultural primacy?

What is the ringtone that is just someone whistling? Its from something, kind of eerie... yeah I know real helpful. I had a friend who used it and I have no idea how to find it. It would always make everyone look around for the person that was whistling.

Not exactly timely but do you mean the whistling song from Kill Bill?

There's a Kanye West version of that as well.

Maybe it was the Andy Griffin Theme Song.

Back in the day in this thread I wished for a list of good songs that were earwormy enough to drive the bad ones out.

Well now this has been stuck in my head for days. and I am perfectly happy about it. In fact a couple days when something perfectly awful displaced it, I went and listened to this to get rid of it. It's like a miracle cure!

But now I am worried. Am I eventually going to get sick of this song? Should I try to cure the earworm before the song is ruined forever?

I have had this song stuck in my head for about a week:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19vApPwWqh8

It is a favorite of mine, but I don't think I have heard it in a while.  Why did this happen?

I never get earworms anymore. I don't know why. I used to all the time. Maybe I just don't care anymore?

Hm.

I'm debating starting a youtube account just so I can post songs online and link people to them.

There is this one song that gets stuck in my head every single time I hear it, but I can't find it anywhere linkable.
