It does! In an action-packed finale, i'd have preferred a bit more pondering philosophical moments

poorpete

This one is lots of fun!

poorpete

WOW. This hooked me from the minute Paak gives his smile. Dunno if this song will take over the world (though wouldn't be surprised if it does) but love love love the joy exuded here. And the fade out!

poorpete

Spoiling time

Pretty much!

Maybe the most earnest song on here since Loving You, or at least the first earnest one since then that I thought was great. Top tier duet!

poorpete

This is great, exactly what I wanted. I changed the name of it (originally said Falling Asleep to The Simpsons) to make it more open ended. Since I've been a lot better about my anxious thought spirals, recently I've actually enjoyed falling asleep to silence. There's something, what's the word, pea...

I made it a bit farther into Episode 4, the Dr. Marvin Monroe zapping each other episode, which is about how much Homer worries his family is terrible. So in that way, it doesn't quite have the character relationships down -- Future Homer would care less that his family's going to hell. Lisa or Marg...

What do y'all fall asleep to? For the past few weeks I've been slowly working my way through the first few episodes of The Simpsons via Disney Plus. But really slowly as I have not yet made it through a single Season 1 episode without falling asleep. Now, this is to be expected as I'm putting it on ...

I'm new to The Pandoras but listening now, and dude, I they're good!

Never heard this song.
This was a song?
A popular song?

Oh, they opened for The Bangles in 2016! :-) https://thescenestar.typepad.com/ss/2016/10/the-bangles-have-3-whisky-a-go-go-shows.html And, surprisingly, they were still playing "Egyptian" too https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-bangles/2016/whisky-a-go-go-west-hollywood-ca-1bfbe168.html Ok,...

Chuck D, on when people said he wasn't Rock enough for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, said "we're the roll." That line echoes in my mind when I hear this. Not rock, too glossy, but undeniable it's lineage from the classic R&B records of the 50s I've been aurally imbibing. This is grea...

Filmed at a Sears Portrait Studio?

An absolute favorite as a seven-year-old. And as much as it's no longer a staple of 80s stations and is probably in the process of a culture insensitivity check, it's like so catchy and fun otherwise. I have returned to The Bangles in the last few years and they are like, really really good. Just li...

Agreed! The easily embeddable videos and social media posts are wonderful. Just give us back the invisible text and the dancing banana, and you got perfection.

Dr. Seuss' trust that protects his legacy is no longer going to allow publishing of a few of his books because of stereotypical imagery within. A reminder: they own the work, they can do whatever they want with it!!! If they wanted to do the opposite, and make giant billboards of the material, they ...

I hope so. A lot will depend on the finale, how they conclude this stage of her grief. Stan mentioning Agatha on the competing Scarlet Wish thread, got another question, as these are all new characters to me (though I have skimmed their wikipedia articles). I expect Agatha will be defeated and then ...

Probably heard this most from GirlTalk's remix with "Work It" that opens this track...

Remember mash ups? Stick around for Heart with Public Enemy.

The best! Aardman animated! Zenith of music videos, at least until Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze thrive in the late 90s. For such a video that was made for a kid like me to love, dunno when I realized the song was so horny. Probably around the time he released "Steam" in 93 and looking bac...

I'm mixed. Was always weirded out by the eating cars stuff as a kid. Still feels a little awkward, doesn't quite land for me. She has some good pre-Message flow otherwise, when she's not telling a story. Here's a solid hip hop major events by year list https://theboombox.com/hip-hop-events-by-year/ ...

Wait, wait, wait.
Rapture... Rap-ture? Dude. I'm sloooooooow

poorpete

To slightly defend Debbie, her rap predates "The Message," and I feel anything before "The Message" gets a pass. Anything after knows the new standard raps need to live up to.

poorpete

Like wondering what the best quote unquote raps by otherwise non-hip-hop-based white artists, especially in the 80s. I'd give Madonna's "Vogue" props, it was great at the time and I hear it's echos in modern pop diva anthems. Though it gets a bit complicated as it's a list, and thus could ...

I've started the Best Record of 1954 tourney on twitter. I'm also going to start a new project here, listening to the songs of ~2019 (though many of these were recorded a year or two earlier). The top 8 were the Grammy nominees for that year, then the remaining 24 are a mix of what's on the Acclaime...

I did think they did a good job of mimicking the sitcom styles of the era, and I'm glad they shouted out the "Dick Van Dyke Show" as an inspiration for the first episode, because the misunderstandings and stress between work and family obligations fit that show more than "I Love Lucy&...

I was going to originally start my Just Rewards project with 1985, as some may remember me requesting favorite songs (I remember "One Night in Bangkok" was a fav). I'm glad I found my hook and picked the pre-Grammy era, though it took me a good year or more, but I wonder what the sliding d...

I used to be "what's the big deal" for the crows. They were positive characters, helping out the hero. I love the song they sing. They were funny! But then, ya know, gotta actually listen to the answer to "what's the big deal." I get the disappointment in bursting a balloon of en...

The warning fuss is absurd. They don't know what they want. They don't understand what cancellation is. These people also want US History taught with less emphasis on slavery and indian removal. Isn't that censoring the bad from the kids? Plus, Disney owns this. They aren't cancelling anyone, if any...

Has anyone been watching WandaVision. I went from disinterest to incredibly engaged and now I feel a little unsure of what it's doing or why. My main question: is it a serious show about trauma that pretends it's about superheroes, or is it a show about superheroes that uses trauma like a soap opera...

Listened to each of these ten times. Track vs. Track review: "Future Nostalgia" The theme song to her album, with self-references and I'm not-quite-sure what it's all about, not as great as what follows, but still is hella-fun. "I Want You to Love Me" Beautiful, poetic, emotional...

High Fidelity slandered the overall solid work Stevie did in the 80s. I mean, yes he wasn't operating at peak genius but my goodness.

What unites the last three albums should be obvious, women at peak powers, one in her 20s, one in her 30s, one in her 40s, and most importantly, they all begin with the letter F. The differences are "Future Nostalgia" is music for the body, "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" is music for t...

Finally this turns into the Nile Rodgers appreciation thread.

An early favorite, maybe my first favorite pop song, and I still enjoy no matter the artifice and uncool factor.

I'll attempt answering, with nothing to back up my thoughts... They're all jumbled up in the crumpled comic, okay, so when she smooths it out does that have the effect of getting the bad wrench man out of the frame? No, he took a beating and they left. So then dude is laying there, he's stuck in the...

Right? The effort, artistry, originality, and successful storytelling of the video kinda makes the music feel like the accompaniment of the visuals, even though it was created oppositely. An illusion created rarely, like in the best Fantasia scenes. A bit confused how Billboard creates these lists, ...

100% right about the Nixon switch, but what surprised me was that it wasn't until his second term. In 1968, Nixon performed his worst in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, and Arkansas. The Dem even performed better in those states. There was a third party, but Nixon didn't need them to win. ...

#4.... Essential, timely, angry, progressive, and just frickin fun to listen to. RTJ4 is an album is full of danceable rage, a formula they've run with for four albums now, and there's no reason to stop now. If anything the world has moved closer to them, then they to the world. Maybe in the future ...

4. In The Heat of the Night

Submitted!

poorpete

In the US it was listed under: Wham! featuring George Michael
Which is just confusing given the modern usage of "featuring" but then again this was well after the band Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. But for starting a solo career, pretty much a perfect credit.
