The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 360

Dibbs is an interesting word too once you see it written out lol

 

it’s dibs, but your point still stands!

 

So this is fantastic

 

Apparently I learned watching this video, Matty has a version of "Jesus Christ" of Phoebe singing the entire song, and he thinks he'll eventually release it in/with Mindshower somehow

 

AANndddddddd Matty reveals he's going to do a Tape Notes podcast for "If You're Too Shy", which should be amazing; if you haven't heard that podcast before, it's basically the host (who is also the guy in the video above) having an in-depth discussion with an artist or band about how they made a certain track or two, from beginning to finished product. Really cool stuff

 

"That's what I love about pop music like that, it doesn't care; that's what I'm talking about when making beautiful pop music. It feels way more subversive than 'People'"

 

He tries explaining the meaning of "Bagsy Not In Net", but it still doesn't make full sense to me as an American

 

It's like when kids play football (soccer) and don't want to be the goalie.

 

Yeah, in my leagues we usually all take a knee and last one standing gets in net lol

 

Matty talking about being reluctant about sharing forthright opinions in that video, like... Dude, outside of your songs, you actually kinda infamously do that a lot, which is a problem people rightly have w/ you, lol. How can you be so meta & self-referential, yet so bad at real self-awareness?

 

Egomania? Narcissism? Anything like that?

 

I feel like If You're Too Shy is kind of a basic 1975 pop song but it's kinda bland to compared to say Girls or She's American

 

I realized my biggest problem with Too Shy is that Matty lacks the same charisma he has live during the verses and ESPECIALLY the pre-choruses. Still a banger but I agree it pales in comparison to songs like She's American.

 

Too Shy shits on Girls tbh.

 

As much as I greatly prefer this “Music for Cars” era to any past era, I probably like “Girls” more than “If You’re Too Shy”?

 

I found the song that Bagsy reminds me of almost to a T.

 

I think the biggest thing I would change about the tracklisting is switching Shiny Collarbone and Having No Head? Besides that missed opportunity there's nothing I can think of changing now

 

Personally where I’m at with this record.

I love it and it’s also my least favorite 1975 record.

 

Been waiting for this! The ABI one was my favorite video interview of last cycle.

 

After my third listen it’s starting to open up more, and I’m catching a lot of nuances.

 

I've decided to break my listening up in sections while I learn to appreciate it as a whole.

 

If you've ever wanted your own 1975-themed neon sign of some kind, via an Instagram ad I found this site: All Products

 

Showed my bud a handful of tunes from this the other day. He's never liked The 1975 and has had to listen to quite a bit of them through hanging out with me, but he actually really enjoys some tracks on here. He thinks What Should I Say is their best song and they should make more just like it ahahaha

 

What Should I Say sounds like a fun night out.

I miss those.

 

Thanks. I bought this for above my bed.
