This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

KELLY OSBOURNE WTF?!?!?
« on: December 18, 2006, 09:54:08 PM »
So I'm listening to VH1 Radio's new Wave station, and this song comes on, and it's all synths and Visage-y and awesome and I'm, like, 'Holy crap, who's this?"  and I look and

FUCK A DUCK It"S KELLY OSBOURNE.

THE WORLD IS BREAKING!

No, seriously.  This song is what it sounds like inside my head.  Yes, it's a total rip-off of "Fade To Grey" (completely, in fact -- it's like a twin).  That's not important.  What is important is that I listen to it and I'm on a rainy street in Mexico City on a misty, grey evening in the Summer of 1983 all over again and I'm so damn happy there.

It's like what happened when a bunch of people I knew 1st listened to Toxic.

"Hey! That's got a nice beat!"
"It's Britney Spears."
"Huh? AAAARRRRGH!!!! (Heads explode)"

I'm guessing that's "One Word", just YouTube'd it. Very cool. Looks and sounds like the theme to a "Cold Space" campaign.

If it's any comfort to you, Kelly probably didn't write or play any music. Just sang along.

Fuggin' pop music.

Oh, I know.  It's just...so weird, to connect so mundane a pop star with so beautiful a song.

I wonder how many times "Fade to Grey" was mentioned during the production of this song. :)

Dude.  This song is badass.  

There's like, shades of old demo tunes on the C64 in the synth work.  

And the video's brilliant.

Whoever she's hiring with her daddy's money was worth every penny.  This shit's awesome.  I want more.  I want to know who her DJ is.

EDIT:  Holy shit.  Linda Perry was the producer.  Awesome.

Yeah, kreg, that's it.  

I don't get the video, but it's good; not at all what I pictured, obviously.  But it's got a nice Dark City thing goin'.
