    OK, I'll start.

    This + a new Burial both dropping within 24 hours of each other less than two weeks before Christmas + whole metric fucktons of killer shit coming from all angles all the god-damn time from that Bowie comeback onwards = 2013 greatest year for music this century.

    Official.

  • i hear at least 11 hits on this album.

    Calling that Burial garbage does a disservice to garbage. And Beyonce is extreme cheese, if not even cheese that hypnotizes you into worshipping Moloch or some shit. Do better.

    Or another way to look at it is that she's had 10+ years of the heaviest marketing on the planet and everything she does now markets itself.

    Lack of marketing as ultimate marketing.

    I'm vaguely impressed that it was kept a secret , though.

    kanye's major malfunction is that he's constantly trying to convince people he's as good as he is when all he has to do is drop albums and let them speak for themselves.

    Or, her canny marketing people realized that the news blitz generated by her "zero marketing plus massive content dump" approach would be even more wide-reaching than the most expensive marketing campaign could be. Just a thought from someone who works in marketing.

    Oh, and dropping on a Friday? Wouldn't be because they want to dominate the weekend news cycle, would it? That would be a yes.

    Yeah, this was what I was trying to say before. This is basically on top of every newsfeed on the internet right now.

    No publicity is the new publicity.

    You can keep telling people how great you are, or you can just show them.*

    For the fans, a surprise album with lots of eye candy is like Christmas in early December, as opposed to a lot of tired-ass interviews and rants....which is like rain all August long.
    You an artist or a baby?


    *"Great" being purely subjective. Point emphasis on action vs talk as opposed to actual quality of anything.

    In the era of the calculated leak, I think it's hugely impressive. That's a whole lot of confidentiality agreements.

  • also,

    she might be the hottest thing on the planet as of right now.

    and yes, i mean in that shallow way.

    one of the extras for the video 'xo' has a cameo by the TMZ new york street pap.... and HE kept tight-lipped. that must have been one HELL of a contract.

    Hot damn, David Ash has never looked so good.

  • i wonder how many dj's are scrambling to figure out which one of these 14 are gonna go in the clurbs tonight.

    does the public know what they want to hear if the radio doesn't tell them?
