"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

I am not sure. I got some of it, but I don't think I have delved deep enough into Donuts yet to move onto another one. I need to start listening later in the album, instead of starting at the first song every time.

i was at a bar tonight for a friend's wife's surprise birthday party. the missus has to work in the morning, so i walked her back to the car at a little past ten. twelve or so minutes later, i walked back into the bar and noticed that the live "band" had given up the ghost and let a dj take the wheel. i requested that "blurred lines" song i recommended a few posts up, and it came on within a couple minutes. i heard it and started dancing.

immEdiately, the hottest waitress in the joint started dancing with me. she had to check on a table, though, at which point a gorgeous girl from a nearby table got up and started dancing with me, at one point grinding so deep i had to step away. and then the waitress was back, only not grinding because she worked there. that goddamned asshole idiot deejay fuck*ng only played the first motherfuck*ng third of the damn song! GODDAMNIT I WAS DANCING WITH HOT GIRLS FUCKER, KEEP THE SONG GOING!!!!

so yeah that's a good song

Man, I was so into donuts a few months ago, so good.  Never listened to anything else by him, should I?

I like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ncSt5xC8Uk

I have a bunch of his stuff but really only listen to Donuts and that song. I'm kind of obsessed with Donuts. The album and the food.

That Blurred Lines song is, as they say, rapey.

Listening to my playlist on random and came across this little gem. Wilson Pickett doing a cover of Born to be Wild with Duane Allman on guitar.

My random playlist is really working for me today. It just threw out this beauty. As I recall, I first heard of Odetta via mixdisc I acquired here. From our little Furry Batman. What was his name again. Anyway, I would have never known about her otherwise.

how about this version? sorry, it's jimmy fallon reviving a gimmick, but he's got robin thicke there -- and tariq's lyrics are SO MUCH BETTER than t.i's from the official recording.

(by the by, i've heard the opposite argument about the song being rapey, that the singer's character merely respects the agency of the woman to whom he's singing, accepting her advances, implied to have happened just before the song began)

re: blurred lines:

the song is hella catchy and fun and cool.  the neptunes did a rad job.  i think the lyrics seem misogynistic, yet, choops idea sounds plausible.

the thing is, robin thicke is like, a C-grade R+B singer.  he only gets maybe one video/radio hit per album.  if thats the one, then its a good hit.

I've listened to this song a few times, get its appeal, don't hate it, don't love it and have never read about it.  I get the sense that he is doing exactly what you say in your second paragraph.  There is some line about being the hottest girl in the place that makes me feel that way.
