Well the LITE intro track/the demo for LITE was released for the LPU. But I agree I meanthey don't have THAT much B-sides but honestly a little EP with all the B-SIde meterial for MTM? Why not? I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
I think they've released all the "Midnight" B-sides. I'm pretty sure there's just "Across The Line" and "No Roads Left".
Well depends on who you ask theres: No Roads Left, Blackbirds, Across the Line and I also still count Not Alone and New Divide as MTM era, mainly because they came out before the ATS era was launched. Also I count tracks like ANnouncement Service Public and QWERTY. Sprinkle them with tracks like "What we don't know" and further unfinished demos and you actually have a nice little album. Actually I mentioned that in my previous post.
"Not Alone" and "New Divide" were both completed after "Minutes To Midnight", while "QWERTY" never went beyond a demo recording. So none of those technically count. You're probably right about "Blackbirds" and "Announcement", I'm not sure when the former was completed
well like I said its more like a personal I guess. Blackbirds, I'd say either during the MTM sessions that gave us the album or shortly after, because as we all know strings are being recorded during the official making of. "Announcement" I'd say probably before as its likely to have been made during the same sessions as Qwerty (the track was released on the Same LPU album)
Do I ever feel out of the loop with all these collaborations. I had no idea who Kiiara was when the news about her feature first broke, only vaguely know who Pusha T is, and have no idea who this Stormzy fellow is. This is what happens when one chooses not to follow the mainstream, at least not closely. I see news about my favorite band and their new "friends", only to be confused about what's going on
Kiiara's relatively new, Pusha T's solo career isn't as big as people like Big Sean, Kanye or Drake, and Stormzy's only famous in the UK. It's perfectly understandable that you don't know these guys.
See, I would like to give Pop/mainstream music more of a chance, but something is holding me back. No matter how many Pop songs I hear on the radio (at work, not much of a choice ), this type of music just doesn't connect or "stick" with me, at all. Here, I thought I had been making real progress with expanding my tastes in more music the past 4-5 years, but it turns out that only applies to heavier music in general. If it's softer music, it's usually hard rock/metal bands doing softer songs that tend to catch my interest. I find this quite frustrating, being unable to embrace more sounds or genres.
i agree with you im the same way. I've always listened to hip hop and metal my whole life. I tried to get into pop and different music but I just cant, its not my thing I'm too old and stubborn in my old age to change. Listen i always say If you dont vibe to something than you dont vibe to it, plain and simple.
Wasn't there 6 B-sides? That's what I was already told from here and LPL No Roads Left, Across the Line, What We Don't Know, Announcement Service Public, Blackbirds, #6 I think one of the newer LPU demos people claimed to be #6. Not sure
There were 5 b-sides according to Rob I think, 4 of which are NRL, ATL, WWDK and Blackbirds. Astat has a theory that Ammosick is the 5th b-side, but I'm not entirely sure.
When Kiiara is "new", so is Stormzy. And he is not just famous in the UK so this information is wrong. And despite Europe he has also charted in some strange Billboard charts.
Out of the whole list so far ... I've been a fan of Kii and Push for a good while, and I was fairly familiar with Purity Ring (steadily liking them more than I used to), Justin Parker (via Lana's music) and Stormzy just by his rep as one of grime's most well-known names. Julia Michaels, I also knew about 'cause she was, and still is, becoming a bigger name in pop by the day Basically all the other names have been new to me
