Happy Black Friday Caroline Polachek

The first time I heard it I said, "This is a great new Katy Perry song." Every time I listen to it I hear Katy Perry.

she's so clever and; pretty

she's so clever and; pretty

But does she wear pinafores?

 

[sus]

The way she confuses "I don't think about genre" and "I don't work within genre traditions that constantly shape my musical decisions" is really embarrassing though.

 

[sus]

She acts very erratically, which sorta makes sense because Tom Power is this really creepy absence there's nothing there he's just a void so how do you behave around that. But there's still this desperation that creeps in on some of her answers, like she is not very regulated. Maybe it's how they edited it. She answers everything so quickly. Maybe that's just them cutting airspace?

That's about as far as I got

hektor is polish his taste is so fucked

 

[wektor]

I'd have no trouble being a poptimist if pop music was more like this:

 

[shiels]

This is good

 

[shakahislop]

at what point did the pitchfork industrial complex come into being and start churning out algorithmically generated indie poptimist sludge?

the decline of US indie rock continuum is something that hasn't been put into sociological context very often i think. it's become such a low stakes genre. it feels like it's moved from being something made by poor white kids to rich white kids.

Condé Nast bought Pitchfork in 2015, explains a lot.
