2024 EOY lists

[Benny Bunter]

I DONT BELIEVE IT BABY
I KNOW YOU LIED

 

[Benny Bunter]

Too short though, could have strung it out a minute longer

 

[version]

Average length for a lot of songs these days.

 

[Benny Bunter]

Good fun that song

 

[Benny Bunter]

Like how they managed to scrape enough money together to go to Paris to shoot the video, good effort

 

[Benny Bunter]

IM A MILLION DOLLAR BABY
DONT @ME

 

[Benny Bunter]

I can go to bed happy now knowing there's been at least one fun pop song released this year, don't @ me

 

[Benny Bunter]

Average length for a lot of songs these days.

It's quite good in a way. Nailed the beat, the first verse and the chorus, that'll do

 

[Benny Bunter]

Means you can listen to it 10 times in a row and don't get bored

Just checked blissblog for the first time in ages to see if he had any tips, but he seems to be be too depressed by trump getting in to muster up any energy unfortunately

Dream on

I thought the idea was that "hard times" create more space for creative endeavor? So come 2025 we will have "a new genre a month" like it was '92 again?

on his other blog he has been excavating some intriguingly awful music from the past

 

[Corpsey]

I do think this has either been a dreadful year for music or a dreadful year for my ability to appreciate it.

OTOH I've been absolutely rinsing the old pirate radio classics such as Bach's Cello Suites and Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas. So perhaps there's hope for the underground yet.

Have you enjoyed any TV, film, books or articles from this year?

 

[Corpsey]

I feel like I must have seen some good TV this year but I can't remember any of it-- I think the new series of Wolf Hall is really good.

I don't read contemporary books, really, not out of wilfulness so much as I'm unaware of anything I "should" be reading.

FILMS (some of these are probably 2023 releases but I saw them this year and class them as new)

The Boy and The Heron ***1/2
Poor Things ****
Perfect Days ****
Dune 2 ****1/2 (could be a 5 if I'm stoned and in a cinema)
Challengers ****
Inside Out 2 ****
Anatomy of a Fall *****
Hayao Miyizake and the Heron ****

 

[version]

Only four of those are from this year.

 

[Corpsey]

I dunno some of them were released in the UK in 2024 so yah boo sucks to you

 

[Corpsey]

Given that anatomy of a fall was 2023 then I guess Dune 2 is film of the year, lisan-al-gaib 🙏

 

[Corpsey]

I watched about an hour of Puss In Boots: The Last Wish which had got a lot of hype but I found it very unfunny and tedious

 

[version]

Jungle from this year.
