When did ABBA get a black guy?
Take a chance on he.
Long as ‘he’ isn’t ‘Ye’.
Deserves more stars.
When they listened back to their recording of Pick A Bale Of Cotton and decided they needed to make amends.
Is that really one of their songs?edit: yep, apparently it is…
Question: Are ABBA the biggest selling music act whose roots aren’t traced back to R&B?
ABBA could trace their roots back to R&B. They then cleared the way for ELO, who paved the way for INXS, who cleared the way for EMF who paved the way for . . .(you guessed it). . . Grand Funk.
That timeline just broke my brain. You know what else does that? You guessed it,
So who paved the way for him?
Clubber Lang?
damn, I’m at work and I can’t stop watching him smolder.
this is very useful, I am honored to be able to comment on your blog, don’t forget to visit me at https://www.yuksaham.com/
I open these articles, scroll down, and if no one has listed the slides in the comment section I simply move on. I am not going to be clickbaited.
Fuck, and I can’t stress this enough, fuck slideshows.
(enter comment about “durr, you can just narrow your window to see them all, durr!”. We know. It’s not a solution. Stop saying it.)
Or you could click “Start Slideshow” and “List Slides.”
“ABBA is back?!”Well, Akerfeldt will be happy.
Well, Akerfeldt will be happy.HA! It’s only a matter of time before Opeth does a ABBA cover. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet.Also, Opeth is probably the best metal band still touring. They’re incredible live.
“yawn…where’ve you been?”
I first read that as “ABBA is black?!” and was equally shocked.
Abba are building their own dedicated 3000-seat concert venue just south of the London 2012 olympics site. The “Abba Voyage Arena”https://abbavoyage.com/thearena/
My favorite lyric of the year“I have learned to cope, and love and hope is why I am here now”
Justice is back!
What am I not getting about Summer Walker? She shows up to her concerts hours later, is apparently a total jerk, and all her songs are about how great she isI love Courtney Barnett, but she needs to pick up the fucking tempo.
Is the depressed millennial thing getting old? Is corrupt world finance getting old? It’s all getting old, huh?
is this a reference to something? I should have perhaps pointed out that when Kanye did the same things Summer Walker does, at least back then he was actually that great.
I meant Courtney Barnett, she’s my depressed millennial spirit animal.
Ah…I’m all for that, just give it a beat again, when she was doing it as garage rock that was the new angle…but then again I want Bjork to do a follow-up to Post (Post-Post?) so tighter songwriting is most of what I want from most of my favorite bands. Sometimes they bounce back: Spoon went through a super boring noodly phase (well because it was more electric I guess I should say “vampy”) and then returned with “Do I Have to Talk You Into It?” and other crisp gems
Wow…radiohead. Still around. Who here was actually ALIVE when they did things worthwhile?
*sheepishly raises hand*
Yeah, I don’t think King of Limbs earns them this kind of dismissal. Ya snot nosed punk.
Some of us were ALIVE before anyone in Radiohead was ALIVE.
Pipe down, you’ll be stone dead in a moment.
That makes two of us.
Good lord, what a stupid comment. Anything radiohead has released in the last 20 years, has been brilliant, with the possible exception of the remix album of King of Limbs. https://www.metacritic.com/person/radiohead
And anything released before that was phenomenal. We’re very lucky to have such a consistent long running band.
…a dark groove right out of a smoke-filled coffeehouse in Berlin. So you’re saying now is ze time on Sprockets ven ve dance?!?
Posted the day BDG did an Abba as a vampire parody… hmm, is Brian David Gilbert the new Abba?
Converge and Chelsea Wolfe – BloodmoonYes.
So much looking forward to this! I love Chelsea Wolfe’s more heavy growley stuff, like “Vex” on the recent “Hiss” album. Hoping this album is so much more of that
After watching these promo videos, I believe ABBA is preparing to upload their souls into the Tron Matrix Skynet. They’ll do this one massive pay-per-view and in the finale, their bodies will wither into electrified flesh sheets and they will be AI forevermore.Mama Mia 3 will be trippy.
The new ABBA singles are far better than anything released after a hiatus longer than I’ve been alive has any right to be and I’m 40. Not ashamed to say I pre-ordered the vinyl.
Wow, you guys really like indie rock.Also, fuck “Sad Girl Autumn”. We’ve already had Sad Girl YEAR, and I want it to stop.
I have to confess that on reading that ABBA hasn’t released any new music since 1981, my reaction was, “Could that be because they broke up in 1982?”
Sometimes the simplest explanation really is the correct one.
