I’ve always wanted to like Arcade Fire. I feel like I lose major cred by not being into them at all. Alas, its never been my jam, and this song doesn’t do it for me. No real surprise that they didn’t release this as a single. Its certainly more of a tune and more pleasant than the Lamar song, but I just couldn’t get into it for more than about 30 seconds. Certainly not almost 5 minutes.
the category was pick a song with 10m views.
smrk picked a song with 6m views.
i asked that he’d pick a new one.
the first one was ‘basketball’ which is also a homage to our TopShot days of past
he had no time or energy to pick a real song, so he picked the only other basketball-theme song he could think of.
So, Garbage is really interesting to me. I chose this category because I really do tend to prefer non-singles to singles off of major albums. Garbage is one of the exceptions to that rule. I really really really dig almost all of their major singles, and have been hard pressed to find any non-radio play singles by Garbage that I enjoy to anywhere near the level I do their singles. This is an unfortunate casualty, because I really like the band and Shirley Manson, but I just dont really dig this song.
Arctic Monkeys is another band that I feel I lose major cred (not that I have much of any to begin with) by not really enjoying. This song is actually on the higher end of songs that I have heard from them in terms of overall enjoyment. Its got a killer guitar lick near then end, and the rest of the song is pleasant and interesting enough, but I’m unlikely to go back to this often.
