Just Getting into GOTYE - any fans? Saw him on SNL and the two songs on there was enough to get me to buy the CD... I really like his style of musichttp://news.yahoo.com/col...itics.html. It's slightly derivative of something... but I cannot put a finger on it.
Any fans out there? VOTE....EARLY | |

YES! He is awaesome. Great lyrics and melodies. A little Sting early Police-esque...but not totally. | |

Being a fan of the "multi-guys" (Sir Paul, Stevie, Sly, P, etc) I decided to check this guy out. I actually dig some of his stuff. The vibe I get is Sting with a little Radiohead in there.
I plan on getting his CD hopefully this weekend. His stuff pretty cool if you want to check out something new and different. | |

I only know the one song that's being played into infinity right now.
But I adore this song and the club mix.
The lyrics are painfully beautiful
Somebody That I Used To Know" [Gotye:] Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it's an ache I still remember You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end, always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad it was over But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough No you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know [Kimbra:] Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over Part of me believing it was always something that I'd done But I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know [Gotye:] But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough And you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know [x2] Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know) (I used to know) (That I used to know) (I used to know) Somebody I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
RIP Dick Clark, Whitney Houston, Don Cornelius, Heavy D, and Donna Summer.  | |

Really satisfying new album... I hear the Sting and Peter Gabriel comparisons, but there are also a few tracks where he sounds like the lead singer from Go West (and the arrangements do, too.) Some pretty solid stuff on this record! |

GO WEST - nice comparison!
Yep - I am really enjoying this album and look forward to more from him. VOTE....EARLY | |

I like this one a lot:
Anyone's that owned an old organ with hidden synthesizer features that the wide public knows nothing about knows what this song is about. | |

Three albums; Boardface, Like Drawing Blood and Making Mirrors (plus a remix album for LDB but the name of it escapes me at the moment). | |

Too eccentric for my taste. I don't care for odd/abstract pop stars. | |

You're stating that on a Prince forum?

Their "live" show was incredibly dull and amateurish. I didn't know he/they had that many albums. I thought that from their weak ass show this was their debut album.

Oh, I thought they sounded good on SNL (and usually people sound bad on that show) VOTE....EARLY | |

The peeps @ my local bar won't get off this dudes sac on the juke box. It sounds like a sting wannabe to me. | |

I saw them at Coachella. I went both weekends. They were pretty bad the first weekend but I went back the second time because I thought maybe it was just the outdoor venue or something but their sound just did not translate well live. To my ears anyway. I left their set the second weekend after they butchered "State of the Art."

It's funny that I saw this thread. I've got the youtube videos blaring on my computer as I type this. I decided to check out his other music after hearing Somebody That I Used to Know in it's entirety earlier today. I'm really digging it. I graduated bitches!!! 12-19-09   | |

I only clicked on this thread because I couldn't figure out what "GOYTE" stood for.
After reading the thread, I still can't. | |
