ASFM: Back To Basics - SECOND LISTENING PARTY

[Kate]

SONG 33 - Free State of Fiume

Alba August - Killing Time

But why are they fighting

 

[Kate]

He's her dad, right? It would explain the dancing

 

[Kate]

Quite nice now the strings and shit have got going.

 

[Kate]

SONG 34 - Japan

MAX - Get My Love!

Oh dear.

 

[Kate]

It's like a Stock Aitken Waterman number played at the wrong speed. Like when you put Rick Astley on and it sounds like Kylie. Except this is Kylie sped up to double Kylie.

 

[Kate]

SONG 35 - I Need A Tug

Amyl and the Sniffers - Hertz

I see I have been fingered () for this. I am familiar with Amyl & co. But would I send them to ASFM? WHO KNOWS!

 

[Kate]

SONG 36 - Cair Paravel

First Aid Kit - Come Give Me Love

We're into the 6 Music section then. I am quite fond of First Aid Kit because "Blue" makes me BLUB. This one isn't terribly exciting though.

 

[Kate]

YouTube just gave me an advert for Glo-Up Girls and I just assumed it was @ZenGiraffe's entry

 

[Kate]

SONG 37 - The most basic flag I could find

Elsa Esnoult - Androgyne

Good start.

Yes I like it. Christ she is hot as well.

 

[Kate]

SONG 38 - Helen Worth Not Topless

Matt Zarley - Trust Me

WHAT IS GOING ON NOW

 

[Kate]

Oh it's gay filth CARRY ON THEN

 

[Kate]

I feel like this would be fun on poppers in a gay club. Which is probably what it was intended for, not sitting alone on my sofa with the big light on.

 

[Kate]

SONG 39 - Anarchy

Cobrah - Good Puss

Well who is this, the new Peaches?

 

[Kate]

Just searching for the comments on her wearing a skimpy outfit despite not being thin.

 

[Kate]

OMG! It just DROPPED and I got actual goosebumps. Holy shit

 

[win_the_game]

I feel like this would be fun on poppers in a gay club. Which is probably what it was intended for, not sitting alone on my sofa with the big light on.

The gays hated it.

 

[Kate]

SONG 40 - Sheldon Cooper's Fun With Flags

Skillet - Feel Invincible

@Indie sent two songs?

Nah, this one's cheesier so it must be @ButterTart

 

[Kate]

SONG 41 - The United States of JANFT

Malena Gracia - Loca

Now this is how you do gay-baiting.

 

[Kate]

Dreadful of course

 

[Kate]

God I can't wait for the day when I can buy myself a body like that instead of having to make a fucking effort. HURRY UP SCIENCE FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

 

[Kate]

SONG 42 - Nick Jonas

Lova - Dance For The Hell Of It

Nah, I don't think so.

 

[Kate]

Well that was a SHOCKINGLY good bunch of songs compared to usual. WHAT IS GOING ON? Voting will not be fun

 

[ZenGiraffe]

sitting alone on my sofa with the big light on.

You MONSTER

 

[straightorbroken]

Could we not have swapped Juliet Armanet with France and gave them Florence? This is swelling up and up.

 

[straightorbroken]

Amadou and Mariam are another movie soundtrack whisking me away. Both have put me in mind of what I loved back in the summers of 98 and 99. Swoosh.

 

[straightorbroken]

Tropical house cover. Choices.

 

[straightorbroken]

Loving the fatalistic synth fantasia of Famous Monsters.

 

[straightorbroken]

Easy Street: the after party.

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm not a friend of this Dorothy.

 

[straightorbroken]

Or Eliza's.

 

[straightorbroken]

Myrium is more my street.

 

[COB]

The speed you're getting through these

 

[straightorbroken]

I've sent a friend request to Polina Gagarima.

 

[straightorbroken]

Ooh this is a nice one. You and Me positively sparkles.

 

[straightorbroken]

If Annie and Sally Shapiro doubled up to produce half an octave it would be this ultra gem.

 

[dmlaw]

You’re going back and listening to these properly at some point, right? Otherwise you might as well just vote based on the recap. At least you’d hear the good bit of the songs then.

 

[straightorbroken]

Well at least it wasn't All the things she said! t.A.T.u has to be the highest profile act we've had surely

 

[straightorbroken]

It was my first listen. Thanks for the advice though!

 

[dmlaw]

It was my first listen. Thanks for the advice though!

That’s fair. I just don’t want you to miss out on any gems which don’t reveal themselves until the latter part of the song. We have a lot of gems in this contest.

 

[COB]

I just don’t want you to miss out on any gems which don’t reveal themselves until the latter part of the song

COBRAH springs to mind, well I actually enjoyed it all to be fair but that last thirty seconds or so was something else
