ASFM: Back To Basics - FIRST LISTENING PARTY

[COB]

Her vocals are really doing it for me!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

It’s lacking something.

 

[RJN]

Yeah I’ve heard it before, was it in a JARK.FM?!?

yes I think

 

[Tisch]

Yeah I’ve heard it before, was it in a JARK.FM?!?

Ah, I have a couple of Jark.fm's that till now I've decaled INVALID for ASFM, but I feel that rule getting revoked

SONG 13 - Sicily

This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Why is @Jark sending me an angry emoji when she isn’t even playing!

 

[Kate]

So rude of @ButterTart to stand her up when she's bought him a Blue WKD and everything.

 

[Jark]

Why is @Jark sending me an angry emoji when she isn’t even playing!

MISS JARK SEES ALL!

 

[Lucille]

Omg this was on my shortlist

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

SONG 13 - Sicily

This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren

[Lucille]

This is an absolute STUNNER

 

[COB]

Hazell Dean?

 

[RJN]

Why is @Jark sending me an angry emoji when she isn’t even playing!

Jark IS Anz

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

This is 1000/10

SONG 13 - Sicily

This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren

WHAT!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

To the people that clearly know this song, does it go somewhere?

 

[Kate]

Absolute CLASSIC but FAR TOO WELL KNOWN SURELY!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

To the people that clearly know this song, does it go somewhere?

It goes the way it should.

 

[Kate]

To the people that clearly know this song, does it go somewhere?

Not in giraffe world, no.

 

[COB]

I've never heard of this, or them.

 

[RJN]

Something makes me think that "well known" differs from person to person and is UNDEFINABLE

 

[win_the_game]

Absolute CLASSIC but FAR TOO WELL KNOWN SURELY!

To be fair it only peaked at no. 66 on the UK charts.

 

[Lucille]

LIKE IF YOU CRY EVERY TIME

 

[COB]

Although Google is telling me this is Liz Fraser, of Cocteau Twins and Massive Attack Teardrop. I've heard of HER

 

[dmlaw]

To be fair it only peaked at no. 66 on the UK charts.

It wouldn't even have been eligible for the Forgotten Hits round.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I kept waiting for instruments to really kick in and it go full power ballad, but no, DULL AS DISHWATER

 

[dmlaw]

SONG 14 - St. Petersburg

Shortparis - Страшно

 

[COB]

Maybe I'm heartless but that did nothing for me whatsoever

 

[win_the_game]

Although Google is telling me this is Liz Fraser, of Cocteau Twins and Massive Attack Teardrop. I've heard of HER

I was just thinking she sounded completely unintelligible!

 

[RJN]

That last one was a bit chilling

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

This sounds very promising.

 

[ButterTart]

Lol I've been posting for the last half hour and forgetting to press send lol.

 

[dmlaw]

I am temporarily abandoning neutrality to note that this song is absolutely fantastic.

 

[Lucille]

Who’s this evil twink

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Raining on Me]

This Mortal Coil not as HEART HITTING as I'd want from that intro, but nice enough

 

[ButterTart]

All their hair's come off. SAD.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Who’s this evil twink

@OutSynk

 

[Soldi]

Want these men to BEAT ME UP

 

[OutSynk]

SONG 2 - Glückstadt City

DEAD BLONDE - Мальчик на девятке

Ah I was briefly considering this at one point but it fell so far down the list soon cause so much else took up space. Good choice!
