Is she as visual a stage performer as she seems she might be based on her themed work?

I'm still rooting for the underdog, but I think it's going to be: France 2 - Croatia 1 final score

And for fun, here's my prediction for the third-place match: Belgium 4 - England 3 final score

prosecutorgodot

I need to borrow DaveC's crystal ball for the stock market.

I'm thinking Belgium and Croatia in the finals. In any case, I hope the games will be on-the-edge-of-your-seat nail-biters.

Run the Jewels - Love Again Kendrick Lamar - These Walls Danny Brown - I Will The entirety of Janelle Monae's new album Dirty Computer , I'll pick "Take a Byte" for special mention even the entirety of Prince's album 1999 , or at least "Lady Cab Driver", and countless other track...

"I Walk a Little Faster" - song of the year?? I really wouldn't take a second glance if someone said so. EDIT: dammit... this is a cover from 2009... of an old song by jazz pianist cy coleman, who peaked from the 60s to the 90s. ah well, this is an amazing track that I've discovered at lea...

I don't know anything about futbol, but I'll root for Mexico, because I did a load of research on Estadio Azteca for a food truck project, hahahahaha. Go burrito food truck! Hope someone out there is using that idea.

prosecutorgodot

Lol. All my old lists are one note. For the record, I like Crooked Rain, but haven't heard it enough to put it in a favorites list. Pavement definitely have their own style.

If there is still room, I'll take another album: The Stooges' Fun House. I'm picking this album to shake things up a little; it's outside my comfort zone.

prosecutorgodot

Yesss of course, "You've Got a Friend in Me." The big one off the top of my head is Gnarls Barkley -"Crazy." Maybe Robyn's "Dancing On My Own." In my opinion, Journey has a bunch of anthemic songs that could be standards, including but not limited to "After All The...

Echoing Rob, I think this is the album where everyone gets tired of Kanye's navel-gazing (if you weren't already). Well at least for me, I am getting tired of the tabloid content of his music only now. This album is very similar to TLOP. It has the giant choral vocals, and those synthesizers that so...

I hope I understand the rules right. I choose "Dookie" and "Songs in the Key of Life."

Moonbeam's got great moves. Hell yeah!

I went to the Joe Hisaishi concert happening in relation to the Fanime Convention in San Jose. The orchestra wasn't perfect, but I didn't expect it to be, and it was amazing to see all my favorite songs performed live. "The Legend of Ashitaka" made me the most emotional; I got really close...

I was too conservative to say 15-20 years... even in 50 years, the Beatles will still have cultural relevance. But how about 100 years? 500 years? Unfortunately, we won't be around to see it, but I doubt the Beatles will be as culturally relevant in the 22nd century. Those people will no doubt have ...

I agree with McJagger for the most part. I think the Beatles have hit their peak already, and have been riding on a plateau ever since. I think that the Beatles will definitely continue their reign for a good 15-20 years, and then, only maybe, someone else will take their throne. As to when they fir...

[spotifyplaylist][/spotifyplaylist] Listening to Hop Along. I totally get why you would think ‘us types’ ;) would like this as it sounds a lot like Waxahatchee and Vagabon. But this is also why ‘I think you would like this’ type of recommendations don’t tend to work. Because if it’s not in a style t...

I dunno... Lil B? These trap-rappers? Childish Gambino? My personal pick is currently Jack White's Boarding House Reach . God, what an album. Hasn't quite received the critical acclaim. To me, it's basically Kid A with more raw blues aesthetics. I would also hope that more non-Anglo artists can rece...

More people should check out this Hop Along album [Bark Your Head Off, Dog]. It's a mid-rocking rock album, female lead vocals. I liked it, but I think some of you might like it more, like the DocBrown-Jirin-type crowd.

prosecutorgodot

Ooh, I should check out some of these. Thanks for the list.

prosecutorgodot

Wow, that is a really great performance. Even if the song doesn't make it to my favorites, this will be one of my favorite live performances. I might go back and re-listen to Twin Fantasy.

Here are my two most recent main videos. I'm worried about coming off as spam by posting these, but hopefully people view these more as me trying to do what people like Rob do on the other forum but in video form (and hopefully eventually to a wider audience) - we don't really have many topics here...

So far, It's been a really good start to the year. Honorable Mentions: Andrew WK - You Are Not Alone : Never heard this guy's music before. I really admire his inspirational tone throughout the album, and the sugary nature of the instrumentation fits snugly. Kimbra - Primal Heart : Last four tracks ...

Biggest warning to people going into this album: there are heavy references to sex. WARNING: SEXY MUSIC For this album, I'll start by listing my favorite tracks, and describing them a little. "Screwed" ft. Zoe Kravitz - Zoe's vocals give this song a lot of personality, and the cheeky lyric...

Any relation to the Metropolis series? Unfortunately (or fortunately), no. The "Emotion picture" tied to the album features Android #57821 with sci-fi aesthetics, but the actual album is a personal venture. Janelle says she has been working on this album since before The ArchAndroid . I'm...

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat... the hits keep coming I guess... He took a plunge into educational music, which is a wonderful genre in my opinion.

I have - I should probably watch it again sometime. I remember liking it. At this point, I've seen around 3/4th of the TSPDT list, and I think I've gotten through all the shorts.

Kate Bush basically invented the modern solo female pop act. Madonna was definitely taking notes. (but of course Kate was influenced by Bowie.)

If someone came up to me and said that this was the perfect album, I may not agree, but I'd understand. For the tastes of popular music fans of the past half-century, this (rock) album seems remarkably pure. It has impenetrable lyrics that could be interpreted differently for every listener, and yet...

Lol, this is getting to my generation now. Too bad no Paramore songs made the top 100.

Might as well go with Neighborhood #1, but either one is pretty worthy.

Before the album release, I was dreading the album because the singles were her worst yet. "High Horse" is easily her worst song to date, hands down. But when I put the album on, surprisingly I came away enjoying it. The deep cuts definitely saved it. From that one listen, I was just going...

Agree with Honorio. The women positively leap out of the screen.

Any thoughts on this new Jack White album? I'm not a Jack White expert, but it seems to be a very scattered-sounding album. He jumps back and forth between loud, gospel and guitar-backed tracks, all the way to spoken word tracks.

Thank you for running this, Honorio! (and BleuPanda and babydoll)

My #1 is probably going to be the Pokemon theme song. Just sayin'.

Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) vs. The Dream Academy - Life in a Northern Town ...kinda a no-brainer. To put it succinctly, the "ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh"s towards the end of Tunnels beat out the "hey-ah-mah-mah-mah"s throughout Northern Town. Richard and Linda Thompson - I ...

Honestly, this is a gripe I've had with this forum for a while now; Kelis, Missy Elliott, Cardi B...people actively lash out at women who express themselves with crassness, and people seem to actively encourage it. The discussion around "Bodak Yellow" was honestly one of the most disappoi...
