Or should I say, I lvke vt? It'...I ... like it! Or should I say, I lvke vt? It's as if Bjork, Saint Etienne, and the Cranberries had a three-way - while New Order watched.<br /><br />I actually thought "Blurred Lines" and "Get Lucky" were fairly decent. Or rather, I can understand why they were hits and I thought they deserved to be hits (which is not something that I will say for most contemporary hits). They both had a mellow, relaxed, danceable sound that didn't feel terribly forced or overproduced, although "Blurred Lines" was basically a remake of that Marvin Gaye song and "Get Lucky" was basically a Chic song. But that's fine with me. If the public insists on wanting to hear "new" songs on the radio, I don't mind if artists just regurgitate old sounds. Modern indie rock bands should seriously ask themselves, "Would our album of self-written songs sound better than an album of us just covering 12 Rolling Stones songs?" Maybe now is not exactly the greatest time for songwriting.<br /><br />My biggest problem with "Blurred Lines" is that the lyrics are creepy, and so is the video. I'm rarely in the mood to hear a guy talk about how sexy he is.Little Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415022026000282965noreply@blogger.com
