There's no way to do that. It's impossible. It keeps luring you with cool stuff and more cool stuff and lists of even more cool stuff until you can't do anything without Netflix playing in the background. We're all slaves to Netflix.
That is such a pretty doodle. It kind of looks like Cthulhu is offering to give the viewer a hug.
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere: Rufus Wainwright.
God, I had the biggest crush on Rufus Wainwright when I was in high school. What I saw in him I couldn't tell you, but...anyway. I still have a lot of affection for his music because of that, despite his somewhat whiny, nasal voice.
I like Patrick Wolf a lot, but I'll admit that "The Magic Position" is kind of an outlier of what he does. But I do like what he does, now that I've figured out what it's supposed to be, mostly. And Sufjan Stevens relaxes me. I have no clue what he's singing about half the time (and neither does he, let's be honest), but I always feel soothed after I listen.
Heh, thanks. I was going for a kind of swirly symmetrical art noveau thing. And then I looked at it, and realized it was all tentacles and beady eyes. Oops.
Yeah, his voice.. not really working for me, and I can put up with a lot. Anyway, I've got "Instant Pleasure," I think that'll do for me.
Sad to hear "The Magic Position" doesn't reflect most of his stuff. Seems a waste, since he does it so well. I just.. don't even know about Sufjan Stevens. It's possible I'm kind of turned off by the hype that seemed to develop around him. Which says worse things about me than him.
Yeah, I can kind of see the art nouveau aesthetic in there, but also, definitely, tentacles. But they're offering hugs!
Huh, I don't think I've ever heard "Instant Pleasure". I will have to go and track that down.
Is there a lot of hype about Sufjan Stevens? I can imagine there would be; he's got a kind of hipster-ish charm to him that would appeal to, well, hipsters. He's got some good creepy songs, though ("John Wayne Gacy, Jr is really very informative), and his rendition of the national anthem is great. I think I shared it for some meme or another.
I'm honestly just looking forward to when she does an acoustic album. I like her songs a lot better when they're not so loud and flashily produced.
Heh, yeah, at least he's a friendly nightmare monster.
Ooh, it's a keeper. Found it on a mix for PG Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster. I also have "Beautiful Child" (also on the mix), but I'm not nearly as fond of it. Can barely understand what he's saying half the time.
Well, he's name-dropped in a Snow Patrol song, so I would say there's hype. And, yeah, it's definitely hipster-based hype. Which... eh...
I could be into giving that a listen. Whatever else I've accidentally heard has really sounded like the same over-produced pop.
This is part of why I never actually get Netflix. I think once I started with it, I would never ever stop.
So, Lady Gaga, I guess. Again, I've only heard one of her songs ("Alejandro"- I was getting a haircut at the time so there was no escape), so again, probably shouldn't judge.
I actually really like Lady Gaga-- and Alejandro is my least favorite of her singles. I would have never expected myself to, but all of her stuff is like an earworm for me. As a performer, I find her overrated. But her songs as pretty catchy.
I wish I'd done it sooner, before all this dickery got started. But it is terrifically addictive. I've gotten to see so many things I've either always meant to see or never would have seen otherwise.
I'm sure they are catchy. Now I remember the commercial for that one big dog show on Animal Planet used "Paparrazi," and, yeah, it sounded like your typical catchy pop song.

I also love Lady Gaga, god knows why.
