808s and Heartbreak

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Time for a Kanye thread! I'm not utterly convinced by about 75% of the autotune vox but I am enjoying the rest! I've also been listening to Graduation quite a lot recently and the difference in mood is massive. The usual clever wordplay is still there but seems to take a back seat to Kanye being a big old emo (which of I imagine is the whole point).

Any poptimist thoughts? Fave tracks?

(Also I have just listened to 'Robocop' and I want an excuse to post this:)

yes i think so! & also the square table (http://freakytrigger.co.uk/old-ft/nylpm/2004/07/the-square-table-8-the-streets-dry-your-eyes/) on it, I guess.
