    Ill take this stuff before American Idol and Avril Lavinge

  • This Duffy song is excellent. Only part I didn't like was that little quasi background rapping toward the end. I can't believe how cranky and jaded some of you guys are.

  • I predict within two years soul will be the new indie rock. Soulstrut will be the new Pitchfork. Beards will be the next neck bandana. And you will be the uber-hipster. Yes, YOU[/b].

    Funnily enough I think you could be right. Amy's got a lot to answer for.

    Swedish artist Veronica Maggio:


    This is kind of cute.

    But when you hear the tune they ripped off for it...

    95% of this retro soul stuff I've heard is crap hipster garbage. I couldn't make it through either of those videos.

    The other 5% is made up of Sharon Jones and Nicole Willis.

    are you serious? Excellent? How is this cheesy retro winehouse rip-off excellent?

    Listen, say what you say about amy, but the girl has an amazing voice that makes all these wannabees look like shit. I understand that this shit is the new trend now and it will be inescapable, and i don't think thats a completely bad thing, but amy's stuff has an edge to it that brings it beyond just simply retro kitsch.

    Amazing Voice?

  • this thread is a perfect example of why I don't watch TV. Cause when I close my eyes, the music sounds alright, but immediately loses a majority of it's credibility when I see the videos.
