youtube has recommended me the band interpol's new song "this mirror weighs a ton"
give it a listen first before reading my thoughts maybe if u want to feel alive a little for once ugh /s


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgJ8JBeJnXQ

thoughts:​
lyrics: eh​
song itself: wowowowowowowo​

and the lyrics do really add a lot to the feeling and atmosphere. The song wouldn't be the same without them but WOW--
these are boomers or something, yeah? we all cope with the state of the modern world in our own ways and that's definitely visible through these lyrics 💘 theyre a bit on the nose.
i LOVE:​
​
"this mirror weighs a ton but at least we act sudden"​
and​
"we're never really done but we're here to act sunny"​

-oughhh im cumming those are such good lines
but with the on-the-nose thing. maybe that's fine, but it's off-putting to me. like cmon at least try bro
​
"if we want to plug in​
…​
but we won't survive"​

Grow the fuck up old man. rahhh. simply evolve, motherfucker. nanomachines, grandass
and I get it. Looking back through the years I can also really feel what all might've led to them writing it out like that but it reads like an MSN article trying to scare soccer moms in 2012

I also have a problem with:​
​
"all the words are gone​
but the radios in your head still speak the arcane, to the out there…"​

...aight dude. i like junk food too. i'll listen to your cringe fanfiction, sure, whatever
The suburbanite spiritualslop bits are a small price to pay for how good the whole thing is ofc. It's fantastic music. I love the contemplative opening (and that feeling as a whole, throughout), when the lyrics hit they hit and I'd totally make an AMV to this song if my brain weren't grapeshot for marbles 24/7 (lying).
maybe i'm the cringe one
All the little details in the song are great, gold star, breathe in my ear some more mr interpol
you can kind of tell they're (sorta) doing the 80s pop thing where they just say a bunch of words for the radio and let people pick up their own meaning but who doesn't do that-
weird al yankovic doesn't do that. he alone speaks truth through song

I've always felt that music discourse online is just… tired. At a glance, alright? As a layperson. Mostly just on popular sites ((citation needed)). It doesn't really seem like ppl are up to just say shit about songs rn so I'm probably just traveling in the wrong circles. I'm posting here tho cos I can say cum without being vaporized. Back on point though it probably feels so played out since, duh, music as a whole is mega popular and has been for a long time and you'll inevitably encounter a high concentration of insufferable nerds (😐👈) which can really drag down ur enthusiasm to interact with people or a given music space. whatever though, i need to write rn.
old bloggers that don't post anymore really have it all figured out. the next time i touch grass i'll probably end up mowing the whole lawn with my teeth out of deficiency

"Walk the Dinosaur" but it's a boss fight

The channel has a bunch of redone TV show themes and more recent hit songs, though about half of them are "dark country" or "country blues" which I strongly dislike at best If those sound like your idea of a good time, you'll love it even more.
 
"... the race of Men desired above all else the catchy hook of pop..."

Q.E.D. :p

(Also, I haz a sadge that the Walk The Dinosaur remix a couple posts up has been blocked when there's is no possible reasonable argument that it was not a significantly transformative from the original work, but that's the modern internet for you.)

The pads on my current headphones finally degraded enough that I had to rip them off and buy new pads so I had to go find and use an old headphone set of some garbage called Razer Kraken someone gave me ages ago. These are without a shadow of a doubt the WORST fucking headphones I have ever used in my life. I didn't even know it was possible for Headphones made in the modern era to be more uncomfortable than those fuzzy coated public school ones while also simultaneously sounding like they're both underwater and half buried in mud. I tried every workaround and fix online because I refused to believe they were just naturally this disgusting. It turns out that no, Razer Kraken headphones are apparently the most disgustingly dogshit headphone brand on the market. I don't know what these cost and I don't care, they are worse than the $15 skullcandy earbuds I used in middle school a decade and a half ago.

Fucking smashed them on concrete and threw them in the garbage. I would rather listen to music through a nokia flipphone submerged in a can of soup. Holy shit I am genuinely mad at how bad those sounded. How do you fuck up headphones THAT much?
 
More dedication and effort in a diss track I have never seen. Even if that's all AI generated it takes some doing to tune prompts and get that much material and edit it togeher, and I can'y even tell anymore on half the things I listen to that don't have heavy vocal filters for stylistic reasons. Apparently a fuckton of people contributed on lt, from the description text and comments.

The creator Skybrows is an experienced VFX artist. He worked on invincible season 1. Video is full of cameos of people who reacted to his vids and other AI artists. He created a community of people who use AI like a tool and actually put effort into to their projects rather than the constant and common prompt then upload slop. It's why he nicknamed himself a slop artist, the best that can be crafted will never be more than a rough foundation for something great and that result should never be an end product.
