    Oh hey Iggy Azalea talk

    I like her pretty alright, also the video for Fancy is just a huge salute to Clueless so that's pretty great

    Also Blank I was about to come after you for saying Royals is not a good song but then you corrected yourself

    i feel like iggy pop has looked like he was 80 years old since his 8th birthday

    also he's a great musician

    thus ends the entirety of my opinion on iggy pop

    "Hey everybody! It's Iggy Pop!"

    Just listened to nearly all of it on the way into work (I'm halfway through the last song). Love it. The Polka was great, the Fancy parody was awesome, and yeah, the CSNY styled song was completely unexpected and awesome for anyone who has worked in any office environment. The only real complaint I have is that First World Problems is just not a style I enjoy and to be honest I liked MC Frontalot's take on the idea more...I was sort of surprised to see Al do such a similarly themed song truthfully.

    Royals is a bad song that I do not enjoy.

    So I was pretty bummed out there's no Thrift Shop parody buuuut I guess it's kind of a comedy song already so it may not be the best target

    It shows up in the polka mix though, so at least he touched on it a bit!

    The Polka this time is great...my favorite two pieces of it are:
    The Jerry Lewis "SEXY LAADY!!"
    The back and forth on the first part of Thrift Shop especially him yelling "I do!" and "It's Large!"

    So the web filter at my office is suddenly blocking the forums again so I won't be able to update the thread when the new video shows up later today.

    Definitely a slow build on that one. The second verse, god damn.

    Also, I'd think odds for the Stanford or Rice bands playing Sports Song this season are off the board. The race is to see who else does it first.

  • ChincymcchillaChincymcchilla Registered User regular
    I kept misreading "word crimes" as "world crimes"

    This is a much different song than I was expecting

    I think Word Crimes just rocketed to my top 10 Al parodies.

    Iggy Azalea followup spoilered to maintain thread topic:
    Apparently those tweets are like, five to six years old and were dug up and circulated as a story fairly recently. I don't know if she's gotten better, and the fact that she's ever said them is disappointing, but I know if someone dug up my shit from 6 years ago I'd look a lot worse than I do now. Anyway I'm done for real now!

    Thank you for taking that awesome beat and making an actually good song, Al

    I love the "literally/figuratively" joke in Word Crimes.

    Literally.

    So was it mentioned this is probably his last studio album?

    My favorite is the "I think it went glug GLUG glug, I think it went glug GLUG glug!"

    Yeah, but I think it's a good thing. He can release things (parodies especially) in a far more timely manner, and we might even get Al in a more steady drip.

    Someone who has the physical release:

    Are the lyrics in the liner notes? Please tell me that in Foil the lyric is 'Aluminati'.

    As... Straight Outta Lynnwood showed, Al's got his own in-home studio, and I'm pretty sure his band members don't do any long tours without him (Steve Jay pretty much stays local, and not sure about the others) so yeah, could be great.

    It's up on Spotify! You can listen to it for free while you wait.

    I really wish we could get a video to Word Crimes to feature Kelcey Grammer - it would be so appropriate given his recent Twitter activities.

  • PoorochondriacPoorochondriac Ah, man Ah, jeezRegistered User regular
    Jackson Park Express is friggin' stellar, musically

    It's fun lyrically too, don't get me wrong, but this is definitely some of Al's finest music writing to date
