all of those are really, really awful.

I'm not talking about their quality. I'm talking about their being event singles.

I suppose the next Kylie single, whatever that turns out to be, will also qualify.

i have heard 'maneater' and 'sexyback' a grillion mo times than 'don't feel like dancing' or even 'crazy'. 'sexyback' was much more of an event track than any of them.

welcome to the world of objective fact, bitches.

I don't see where Paris Hilton fits in there.

Throw the words around a bit and the answer would be: any dick if it's attached to a camera.

The only way in which Timberlake has ever been an event is standing next to Janet Jackson when that happened. That's how he'll be remembered.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 09:38 (seventeen years ago) link

it's a fickle world; there's no ay of knowing that. but i think he's as likely to be remembered as the scissor sisters.

whether or not jt is remembered is completely irrelevant, isn't this a discussion which has been had a gazillion times?

― lexpretend (lexpretend), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 09:42 (seventeen years ago) link

it's so irrevelevant that i've already forgotten who he is.

Yes, much like you masturbating over Paris/Ciara/Beyonce/Cassie/your name here ad infinitum (xpost).

I ask you for the second time: why do you hang around threads which you don't like?

i think the talk of event singles or indeed event albums sort of leads back on topic. i mean paris and jarvis were both presented as events yet neither lived up to it really. stars are blind did go top 5 though admitedly the follow up peaked 50 places lower. anyway it seems like both were hoped to be events for different demographics. erm cultureshowpop or maybe G2pop vs londonlitepop...

jarvis really has not been all that hyped.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 12:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Well it just shows what a pretty pass things are in when 3000 sales gets you into the top five.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 12:20 (seventeen years ago) link

grammar: "3000 sales GET you into the top five"

OMM did a pretty miserable job of hyping Cocker in the last-but-one issue.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 12:21 (seventeen years ago) link

ok been over this it felt hyped to me. nme cover, OMM, culture show, lots on radio4 he had his own series then a bunch of stuff on other shows and i kept seeing features on him also big posters in front of record stores suggested it was expected to do something more than it did.

However, being on Rough Trade, it was unlikely to do more than it did, commercially.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 12:26 (seventeen years ago) link

dunno the libertines and the strokes both got no 1s whilst on rough trade...

re hype -- paris doesn't get the same kind of hype, she just gets 'items', gossipy things. jarvis gets interviews and whatnot.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 12:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Which is more useful?

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 12:48 (seventeen years ago) link

personally, i think jarvis is a more interesting public figure.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 12:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Because of Jarvis or because of Paris?

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 13:02 (seventeen years ago) link

well i missed the radio shows on art schools but that's a subject that interests me and obviously el jarv belongs to that lineage, even if i'm not so interested in his music now (never was particularly, thnking about it -- i have maybe two pulp 45s). could paris say something interesting about anything? yet to see evidence of this, and i'll take my two pulp records over her stuff. the missus likes them both, but i reckon she'd opt for jarvis in the long-run. she sent me the richard x thing w. jarv, but i didn't d/l (full disclosure).
