Ataraxis Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 The dude is all over the place musically, so I'll stop the links with those three. Other songs I'm digging are "Easy Way Out" and "Don't Worry, We'll Be Watching You." Pronounced go-tee-ay, I guess? It's basically an alternate spelling of Gautier. Often compared to Peter Gabriel, sometimes to Sting, etc. I had heard the name thrown around for a couple months, but never really paid any attention. Finally checked out a track this week, and I'm thoroughly impressed. He's got a good blend of his own sound, an 80's pop rock feel, and general ~SOUNDS OF VARIETY~. I find the videos for his songs genuinely entertaining, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butts Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I've been pronouncing it Got-yeah. Anyways, he's good, but I like him more for introducing me to Kimbra. She's gorgeous, and she's going to be my wife one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirtless Crackhead Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I really didn't like either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Talentless Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Apparently neither of you know what you're talking about. That's about 75 million hits on that first song. Even south africa likes the song.Though it really doesn't 'go' anywhere and I don't like the song either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Peter GabrielSting The only thing I remember about Peter Gabriel and Sting is that I went on a tirade about how much I hate them both one rainy night in Seattle. Ever since that night I purged my system of them both and only remember a few trace factoids about them. I can't even remember who it was I was talking to that night. I know it was on the phone, though. All based on a single listen: I liked the first song. That Kimbra bitch is kinda hot in a poor man's Katy Perry kind of way.Wuthering Heights is an excellent book. This second song is not nearly as good as the aforementioned book.I enjoyed the third song as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataraxis Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Get your hate on. I see "reminds me of Peter Gabriel" on a lot of his videos and stuff, but like I said in the first post, I think he's kind of all over the place. I dig that. My thoughts on Kimbra are that her own music sucks but she provides good back up on that track, and if I want to look at Katy Perry or Zooey Deschanel, I'll, you know, go look at them. I would mash the proverbial guts given the opportunity. No hesitation whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ataraxis Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I meant for Peter Gabriel and Sting. Unless you also purged your system of your hate for them. If so, that might have been a questionable decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirtless Crackhead Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Isn't the vuvuzela from South Africa? If that's right, South Africa gains some points in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Africa likes the song. That's what I'm talking about. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Cool, but I'm still confused. I mean, you followed up a "You don't seem to know what you're talking about" with "Even SA likes the song." It comes across like you're disagreeing with something. If you are, I'm flabbergasted about what it is. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Sir Altaire is now South Africa.
