ASFM Worldvision 2: TRENDY VIEWING GALA 2 - Tonight, 7:30

[Apoca]

Does NOT give me diabet

 

[COB]

The unseasonal tropical paradise of Crimea I reckon, no wonder Russia wanted it

 

[Marina Salty]

I assumed I’d pressed random accidentally when this came on expecting Ukraine

me too and had to check it wasn't geoblocked or something and autoskipped to the next

 

[Nancy]

Oh, is chocolate a euphemism?

 

[ButterTart]

This seems… PROBLEMATIC

I mean, they're currently being invaded by a nuclear superpower so I suppose they have a different sense of what constitutes a problem.

 

[octophone]

Must have been up all night writing that chorus.

 

[OutSynk]

I'm afraid this is going to get points from me.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh, is chocolate a euphemism?

It's actually secretly about carob.

 

[RS]

How did this pass the exotification filter?

 

[Nancy]

Here comes the first 80s pastiche of the night

 

[dmlaw]

I mean, they're currently being invaded by a nuclear superpower so I suppose they have a different sense of what constitutes a problem.

If she crossed the land border between Ukraine and Ethiopia, she’s in big trouble.

 

[Tisch]

TAMTALISED by the sight of a disco ball

 

[Nancy]

Am I bit ahead of you all?

 

[octophone]

This has an uphill battle - fake retro pisses me right off.

 

[Nancy]

Am I bit ahead of you all?

Makes a change from being behind!

 

[ButterTart]

3. AZERBAIJAN

Sevda Alekbarzadeh - Hisslərim Dumanda​

 

[octophone]

Is this Jane McDonald?

 

[ButterTart]

Whatever your opinion on synthwave, please bear in mind that this poster also introduced us to the Azerbaijan carpet museum.

 

[OutSynk]

Why are some letters backwards.

 

[Tisch]

Props to this person for sticking with the trendy discotheque theme as well

 

[RS]

The Turkic nations delivering the hipster tracks this round. Here for this!

 

[Lucille]

Why get Azerbaijan and NOT send a CHUBBY FUNSTER

 

[COB]

My head is BOPPING and my knee is TREMORING

 

[AlgoAlex]

Ok this is typical moopy fodder and I am a fan

 

[ButterTart]

Is this Jane McDonald?

I'm absolutely seeing this and now I don't know what to believe.

 

[Marina Salty]

She was on my Azeri shortlist last year with another 80's bop, very happy to see her representing this year.

 

[octophone]

Whatever your opinion on synthwave, please bear in mind that this poster also introduced us to the Azerbaijan carpet museum.

Fair.

 

[dmlaw]

Here comes the first 80s pastiche of the night

It might not be a pastiche. There’s every chance that the 80s have only just reached parts of Azerbaijan. Ladies hairstyling will be along soon, I’m sure.

 

[octophone]

Tune's alright.

 

[ButterTart]

Fair.

I mean, they use the hem of the carpet as some sort of balcony. How are they not the leaders of the free world?

 

[COB]

I'm taking any synthwave entries as tributes to the late great Vangelis

 

[Nancy]

No moving pictures

 

[RS]

This is rather and almost phenomenal

(Azerbaijan I mean)

 

[Apoca]

Land of FIRE delivering

 

[OutSynk]

I'm all for 80s pastiche but I wish the melodies hit harder.

 

[ButterTart]

4. INDIA

Gaurav Tophakhane - Dastaan​

 

[COB]

This one is quite synthy too!

 

[ButterTart]

Oh y'all wanted Bollywood? Have a bit of sexy dream pop instead

 

[AlgoAlex]

Ok quite liking India so far

 

[octophone]

Swaying in my seat to this.
