rolling pop thread 2012

probably old news by now but LDR kinda bombed in her national TV debut last week on "saturday night live". i've seen other lousy live reviews for her before, maybe she's one of those artists suited to the studio versus live performance.

Was turned off by the first two, loved the last one. Any more like it?

hmm, not that I know of, though I've only heard this new album and the split one with d'eon from last year (where Vanessa is from).

these are a bit like it:

Vanessa is by far my favourite song by her.

LDR's album is the shit. think I've listened to it at least 20 times now.

i heard it in a shop last week and grew to like it a lot. the poppy production is rubbish and is way too boring but i love her voice and demeanour. im not opposed to the lips either.

Speaking of Lana Del Ray (shouldn't this thread just be titled Lana Del Ray?) and versions of Video Games, anyone seen this? Skip to the 40 sec mark:

Released in 1991.

Well it is a really gorgeous little melody thing isn't it?

I'd nick it.

I really like the first 6-7 tracks of the new Nicki Minaj album.

ie:

“When I’m sitting with Anna, I’m really sitting with Anna / Ain’t a metaphor, punchline – I’m really sitting with Anna!"

i cant lie, i love nicki minaj's starships.

this is so good too. i only heard this on rinse about a month or so ago for some reason but i love it. nice early 90s vibes.
