Beautiful Nightmare
February 24th, 2010The Big Pink has gone quite far since we’ve written about them. They are now a 2k9-2k10 indie sensation. The really confusing and weird situation of pop and underground music is perfectly manifest in the song I choose to blog now: The Big Pink covered Beyoncé a while ago for Radio 1 Live Lounge. Of course, it’s nothing new and Radio 1 has a history of paying attention and encouraging awesome covers, some of which include underground acts covering mainstream pop stuff. What does it all mean? It means, for one, that the elitist “the real pop is the underground pop” is just as wrong an opinion as the unawareness of mainstream ignorance. For two, The Big Pink takes the song not in order to make us laugh, actually they take it more seriously than anyone would ever have taken the original. I mean, the lyrics now make sense. Anyone ever thought how great the lyrics were in Beyoncé’s song? I guess not, I mean they were just lipdancing turned to audio or something. Lo-fi psychedelia and dry, undramatic emotionality are what make the original pop song into a haunting, ghastly piece. Stripped down to the bone, it is hard to differentiate original and cover, mainstream and underground… The fact remains that the original song is one I always hated, and I will always hate Beyoncé, but there has to be something in the original for The Big Pink to take and transform into their own world. Thanks for the track to PMA.

The Kreg Jig Pocket Hole System (K4) is the perfect choice for do-it-yourselfers and anyone new to Kreg Joinery. Whether you’re building your first set of garage storage shelves or making simple repairs around the house, the Kreg Jig Pocket Hole System can help you finish the job in less time, and with far less effort than you ever thought possible.

The Kreg Jig takes advantage of a technique called Kreg Joinery. Unlike other techniques, Kreg Jig requires no glue, no complicated math, and no small army of clamps to make wood joints that will last.

That is some inspirational stuff. Under no circumstances knew that opinions could be this varied. Thanks for the sake of all the enthusiasm to propose such reassuring knowledge here.

everybody think that she’s talkin about sombody’s dick when she sings this song,, but she’s not. She’s talkin about a guys ego ppl. Which is another word for his confidence or watever yu call it. GET ON YOUTUBE AND TYPE IN DEFINITION OF THE SONG? EGO AND YOU WILL SEE BEYONCE IN A WHITE SHIRT EXPLAININ IT!

I truly love Beyonce. She really has talent and has the most voice. Her shows and costumes are all top notch. Can’t wait to go to her concert soon again.
Regards,

Do you want to shop for the BumpCap from the internet that is probably from the particular photo I was indeed actually able to to secure it from Pink Workplace Safety.

To build credibility simply be proof of your own hype and give people value over and over again. Help others to achieve what they want to, and you become credible in their eyes.
