Frank Ocean – Channel Orange – Have Fun With It
Tags: channel orange, frank ocean
The fact that no one picked out the PlayStation™ boot screen sample is pretty upsetting. I guess I’ll have to listen to the rest of this tomorrow.
shout out to glasspopcorn, shout out to kacie kim
thanks
btw glasspopcorn WAS listening FREEAKS STOP Talking about SEX
the most self indulgent thing i’ve seen on this website
i heard three minutes
i thought this same thing, like ‘omg i have never hated these three ppl before but i definitely do now’
i don’t believe in ‘hate’ and am intensely interested in this album, so i continued to listen
now this is one of my favorite things and probably my favorite commentary on the album i have seen/heard/read so far…
going to do a follow-up comment when i am done listening i think…
AH: Do you think that Millennials are like more bi than other people?
DF: More like willing to explore it. Yeah, I do.
AH: What do you attribute that to?
DF: Uhh, neoliberal internet shit.
[Pause.]
ES: What.
it was funny good job
i enjoyed this
felt continuous marginal-to-extreme interest during all discussion periods
felt i related to or had thought most things discussed in later parts of this
things i wished i heard but didn’t:
— [something] re odd future/the younger (13-19yo) kids who may be attracted to this via association with ‘horrorcore’ or ‘nihilist’ ‘bratrap’ despite the fact that this is not that at all
— further discussion about lyrics as opposed to ‘umbrella critiques’ of each song (but i assume they were drunk and just kind of vibing, so ‘no bigs’)
— [something] re the fact that the listeners are three ‘white guys’ listening to r&b album, idk…
don’t feel like extrapolating
i recommend listening to this ‘listening party’/album
they talk about “what if we were three ‘brothers’ listening to this with our wives” in one part. that kind of addresses the white guy thing in a way.
i’m also interested in what people think of frank ocean with respect to his odd future affiliation.
