ASFM: Diddyvision - GROUP 2 Viewing parties

[straightorbroken]

Monogem is tickling my broody bone. Not enough of these atmospheric 80s songs these days.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh hello October man.

 

[straightorbroken]

Already this semi has a much stronger throb to it.

 

[straightorbroken]

Lizette is pure Isabel Guzman. This is an instant pop trash favourite.

 

[straightorbroken]

Shark Woman is good. The lyrics a little ugh though, but this is a possible keeper actually.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh my god.

 

[straightorbroken]

G-G-G-G-GIA

 

[straightorbroken]

How can any of the stale entries compete with this piping hot ethnic banger? It's exquisite, basic and exquisite again.

 

[straightorbroken]

The fact that she looks like a pre-fame BB Suzie just adds to it.

 

[straightorbroken]

Squirrel's weepy fog of indie angst is rather lovely.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh seriously, I'm going to cry. It's only fucking D'arcy in her vintage fuck you I'm D'arcy 90s peak.

 

[straightorbroken]

The camera just wants her to glare at it. The brian molko substitute obviously a bit of a fuck you to Billy given that this is on the label she had with James.

 

[straightorbroken]

Anyway she did indeed make up her mind. Meth.

 

[straightorbroken]

Fact friends: this rather simple video was shot by the Sismondi (?) woman who did the Marylin Manson, Xtina and Tricky videos.

 

[straightorbroken]

You show 'em NS with your S&M Matalan advert. So sassy

 

[straightorbroken]

This chorus though.

 

[straightorbroken]

The LaToya Chun Li giggles are tipping me over the edge

 

[straightorbroken]

The hey and ha's are hitting this into me like a hammer. Definitely being considered highly.

 

[straightorbroken]

Room for Romy indeed. A surge of warm fuzz out of 10.

 

[straightorbroken]

If Sophie B Hawkins had an exciting lesbian weekend with Ladyhawke and they had a mix tape of the Utah Saints on repeat this song could be their baby.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh Marcia, you are a card. Bravo.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh I'm here for the Malfa effort.

 

[straightorbroken]

Muna barging into my scoreboard.

 

[straightorbroken]

How has Let A Bitch Know not baseball batted me in the face until now? Jesus, what a document.

 

[straightorbroken]

Not since Do I Look Like A Slut has a song penetrated my excitement with an energy like this.

 

[straightorbroken]

2 songs left? Oh good luck bitches

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh this song and video. A monument.

 

[straightorbroken]

Okay Russian whores, you have big stilettos to fill.

 

[straightorbroken]

Now which mooper has the bat-shit playlist to offer up this mega gem?

 

[straightorbroken]

Semi 2 is defying all odds to keep it all going.

 

[straightorbroken]

Just when you think you can't take any more, the next entrant discovers an extra chamber no one's ever reached before

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh that's it? Semi 2 really was it actually. I think it might be the best semi so far actually.

 

[Nancy]

1. サルフォード市 [Salford]
Nova Miller - Mi Amor

Needs a better chorus. But, on the whole, a good track. Love the sax!

 

[Nancy]

2. アッシリア帝国 [Assyrian Empire]
Monogem - The Glow

Now I like this! Dreamy vocals and a lovely melody. A favourite!

 

[Nancy]

3. ニュージーランド [New Zealand]
October - 1000 Eyes

Not as good as the other eyes song. I like it, but needs a more powerful vocal.

 

[Nancy]

4. ジェレズノゴルスク町 [Zheleznogorsk]
Lizette Lizette - Easy Street

Wow! Part 2 is off to a cracking start! This doesn’t disappoint. Doesn’t overstay it’s welcome either. Sometimes less is more!

 

[Nancy]

5. ゴールドコースト市 [Gold Coast]
Amy Shark - All Loved Up

I suppose we had to hit a bump in the road at some point. This one doesn’t really hit. The vocal is a bit angry and at odds with the song.

 

[Nancy]

6. 新バビロニア王国 [New Babylonia]
Despina Vandi - Gia

Sounds like the Cheeky Girls

 

[Nancy]

7. セネツ市町村 [Senec Municipality]
Squirrel Flower - So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings

BORE OFF

 

[COB]

The near-universal derision for that one

*wins in a landslide*
