ASFM: April Lucky-Dip Switcheroo - First Viewing Party - MONDAY 18th April 17:00 BST

[ButterTart]

This is excellent, isn't it?

 

[COB]

One of my maybes this time was a song that is by someone else, but was extremely LiSA-esque (probably as close as you can get without it actually being her). Glad I didn't send it now!

 

[ButterTart]

VELÜR - ПОЦIЛУЙ МЕНЕ

I already know Mopsy will be frothing with delight at this one. That Kampferdrops sax is pretty nice, mind.

 

[ButterTart]

VELÜR = young Cheryl Baker. Prove me wrong.

 

[ButterTart]

Audiobooks - Friends In The Bubble Bath

This is nice. The clipped accent on 'don't' can fuck right off, mind. You're making an indie electro song, not auditioning for Mary Poppins.

 

[ButterTart]

Wait, what? How is Rick Wakeman suddenly involved in this?

 

[ButterTart]

Camille - Money note

What is happening please

 

[ButterTart]

What is happening please

I feel like I'm getting further away from an answer to this.

 

[ButterTart]

Why would she put 'note' in the title of her song when that's the one thing she's never successfully managed to hit?

 

[ButterTart]

LALEH - Svenska 2

United Colours of Smiling Do-Gooders. This really is a video for people who find Power Rangers too edgy, but the song is at least... pleasant?

 

[ButterTart]

Yes, well... Thanks.

 

[ButterTart]

Gryffin, Gorgon City, AlunaGeorge - Baggage

Now this bawdy old @Rita nonsense is MUCH more like it.

 

[ButterTart]

There is absolutely nothing original or remarkable about this but I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't fully on board with it

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Gryffin, Gorgon City, AlunaGeorge - Baggage

Now this bawdy old @Rita nonsense is MUCH more like it.

Bit rude. @Rita may be bawdy, but she is not old!

 

[OutSynk]

There is absolutely nothing original or remarkable about this but I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't fully on board with it

And yet last night you were calling ME basic.

 

[ButterTart]

Pearl Charles - Only For Tonight

Get out of my pearl, Charles.

 

[Kate]

VELÜR = young Cheryl Baker. Prove me wrong.

I SAID THAT

Well I said it about one of them, I've forgotten all the names already

 

[ButterTart]

I really can't stand this.

 

[ButterTart]

I SAID THAT

Well I said it about one of them, I've forgotten all the names already

She really is the image of her, which is such a cruel thing to have to say about someone.

 

[ButterTart]

Elias Kaskinen - Beibe

Jüüstin Biijber

 

[ButterTart]

Second best Finnish song of the evening, but still very good

 

[ButterTart]

Fishbach - Un autre que moi

I've heard of these, and clearly so has @Soldi

 

[ButterTart]

Like all French women, this one has a touch of the Swintons about her.

 

[ButterTart]

女王蜂 『夜天(STARRY NIGHT)

What is happening please

 

[OutSynk]

女王蜂 『夜天(STARRY NIGHT)

What is happening please

 

[Kate]

She really is the image of her, which is such a cruel thing to have to say about someone.

How can you be so cruel the day after @lolly's 80th birthday

 

[COB]

It's Starry Night and the low voice reveal moment that's stayed with me the most since yesterday, out of everything.

 

[ButterTart]

Restarting Starry Night because I got distracted by the dog.

 

[ButterTart]

I love that Towelie from South Park provided guest vocals on the first verse.

This is actually excellent.

 

[ButterTart]

The Veronicas - Lolita

 

[ButterTart]

Well, this is surprisingly good. The breakdown-in-lieu-of-chorus moments are

 

[ButterTart]

Satellites

This has started well, and I'm willing to assume @HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid has had a hand in this.

 

[ButterTart]

This is much better than I was expecting given the olden days ladies in the video.

 

[ButterTart]

Rigoberta Bandini - IN SPAIN WE CALL IT SOLEDAD

 

[ButterTart]

Yep, this is very good.

 

[ButterTart]

Kendal Johansson - Blue Moon

Ooh!

 

[ButterTart]

That last one didn't quite live up to its initial promise, but it was still pretty good.

 

[ButterTart]

Good bunch of songs, that. Cheers @Haiku!

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

Satellites

This has started well, and I'm willing to assume @HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid has had a hand in this.

Oh this is so unfair any time a woman without a successful career from 1981 murders a backing track people are pointing fingers

Whenever there's a song that makes me think 'ASFM is probably the biggest audience she's ever played to', I think AnniFrid.
Whenever there's a song that makes me think 'this woman has clearly just been released from jail' I think @Lucille

The moral here is that building your brand is essential to the ASFM experience.
