Kevin: Did it just go from major to minor in the very first two notes??? ...I think it did
Umu: All right my ladies, today we're starting off with F(x)!!!
Lindsey: I see Amber, my girl! Umu: Yes
Umu: ooh okay so "Toy" is a b-side song released on F(x)'s 2013 album called the "Pink Tape"
Umu: This group is known for their experimentalism and quirkiness, which is shown perfectly through this album
Umu: So the song "Toy" is about how men play with women or treat women as toys and the women, you know
Umu: speaking back to that Charlotte: you have go to be freaking kidding me Peyton: It's gna be ok Peyton: it's going to be fine
Umu: They call the unnamed man in this song Mr. Collector, like a toy collector
Umu: So this was composed by Norwegian and Swedish composers Herbert St. Claire
Umu: Crichlow and Judith Wick and Eric Lidbom (SORRY IF I BUTCHERED PRONUNCIATIONS)
Umu: The lyrics are by a Korean dude named Seo Ji Eun Lindsey: three two one
Fiona: Ooh
Fiona: Left right left right, that's what it sounds like
Fiona: Ooh, it's building! It's like echoe to the foreground Lindsey: yeah, ooh
Kevin: I feel like - i feel like a toy
Kevin: soldier
Stephen: I really like the effects that they're using like sound effects.
Lindsey: I like how it goes like one two, three four one two it's like a-
Lindsey: duple, triple thing
Fiona: It sounds so good with all of them like rapping in unison. Is it--- are they doing that? or is that one voice?
Kevin: is this trying to be a rock song or a dance song or electronic song? Oh
Jarod: they're using--- yeah Katie: these are good lyrics
Jarod: and the use of rhythm with it really emphasizes everything
Peyton: A lot going on, it's like a constant drum solo fill thing Charlotte: yeah
Stephen: With all the effects they're using it's like super poppy but also super like electronic
Naoki: Well, this is kind of grungy with the like Stephen: yeah there you go, grungy
Kevin: Oh
Kevin: You like a little major minor thing
naoki: I'm finding it hard to hear the vocal line over the instrumentals though
Naoki: I would've, I'd like it if the vocals were a little bit more prominent
Lindsey: There's like so much mixture in this like right now, it's very major sounding
aaron: i don't... Olivia: Sorry... what?
Aaron: that was like chanting Olivia: that was interesting
Kevin: What?
Isaac: wait.. i want it back Kevin: is this song going what it wants to be?
Kevin: I'm a little confused about this one
Peyton: yeaah
Peyton: woah, OH SH*TTTT
Peyton: WOAHHHH
Peyton: I love it
OH MY GODDDDD
Isaac: AWWWW
aww the experience I'm feeling right now
Jarod: This is cool cause it also showcases the korean language, and how it (Katie: it's like dub step) has so much flow to it you know? yeah and it's just has so many like
Jarod: lasers everywhere
Jarod: i dont know that's just how i describe the sound
Kevin: Symphonic wubs
Isaac: Oh my goodness
Naoki: Yeah, I like this part, it's very very epic very film score-y
Naoki: I think because you got the strings and then you got the big basses and just the range is...
Naoki: Oh
Stephen: that was cool, I love it when they do that where they just stop everything together, like really pops out Naoki: Yeah like really pops out a
Kevin: Little pentatonic
Stephen: I really dig the chorus
Stephen: I feel like I was having a hard time hearing what they were saying with like the verses when they had like the really big deep drums
Stephen: cause that was just like, i dont know it wasn't like
Stephen: dynamics necessarily it was just so loud or just so much
Aaron: this is what I would-- okay I would put this song on and then get a sledgehammer and a break a window or like
Aaron: Destroy a car Issac: oh
Kevin: and on that note.. Isaac: No, oh my goodness. That was too good--- Kevin: Are you a fan?
Isaac: yes, OMG Kevin: Okay, we have different
Isaac: Fricken love it. Kevin: I mean, I mean the dubstep section was kind of amazing, but that chorus
Kevin: Can't do it. but like the verse is pretty good
Kevin: And I like how the song doesn't know what it wants to be and then you hear the dub step section and
Kevin: You're like, oh I get it. It's like all of a sudden everything clicks Isaac: I kind of agree
Isaac: The chorus was like I don't know. It was very repetitive. But I don't know. It's just in the moment
Isaac: I was really enjoying it because it's the beginning of getting just caught my attention like yes, this is new
Isaac: This is something different. Katie: It was actually very
Katie: melodically bare-like chord-aly (is this even a word) and
Katie: It was just a lot of rhythm and the melody was them singing so there wasn't always like a set chord progression
Katie: There was one of the choruses it was like a standard tonic- predominant- dominant- tonic
Katie: But it was really uh
Katie: Like interesting to listen to just because of the rhythms and the textures of the different sounds Jarod: Yeah
Jarod: It was really neat cause it's like you have all these different
Jarod: Wildly crazy sounds that kin- in your face that make a very driving rhythm and it very much supports the message
Jarod: I think they're trying to say with the lyrics it kind of like, you know, you feel empowered, you know never Mister
Jarod: collector man you can go
Jarod: ffffly a kite
Jarod: and stay away from us because we too cool for you stephen: It was like super busy
Stephen: They had a lot of effects in like a lot of drops and like a lot of electronic sound effects going on
Stephen: Which was cool. So like rhythmically, it was extremely active
But yeah at the same time except for the chorus
Which was like something I latched onto, it bordered on like maybe a little bit too much or just yeah
Like hard to hear what was going on in the verses. It's just like so much incoming
Lindsey: I feel like that song is like what I needed in my life right now
just like in every way shape and form. First of all still not disappointed by this group ever
you know it was super cool, even like right from the beginning there is like, uh Fiona: [dab coughs]
Everyone: [AHAHAHAH]
Lindsey: Anyway right from the beginning
It was like a duple thing for two beats and then a quarter note triplet for the next two
cause it was in 4/4, but it was like
[deomonstrates]
Which is like just a cool
You know
syncopation kind of thing and that dubstep
Fiona: break?I really liked that Lindsey: Yeah b-b-b-break.
Fiona: I like the like little hints of dubstep that they threw and it's like you're like cooking something
You're like, oh just a dash of salt and then like the lid comes off and it's like dubstep. Lindsey: Yeah, she's not wrong
Peyton: I appreciated that the
electric vibe was also
Complemented by the fact they were all using electrical sounds, you know, like that make any sense? like, you know
It was just like it was all in that idiom like everything felt like it fit and was supposed to be there, you know
also, like the incredible like dubstep break was just like [demonstrates]
Umu: Right and how do you think the soundscape or the actual melodic material carried out the girl power or like the lyrics and
Umu: Like theme of a toy and the toy collector Kevin: they do it in a playful way, which is very interesting
Kevin: Are they criticizing it are they secretly welcoming it? Are they like
I don't like you, but secretly I do? you know, cause that's like a common thing that happens in a lot of pop songs
i dont know, it seems very playful though. Isaac: The beginning actually it was like when I was tick tocking
Isacc: Yeah, it's like I don't know. Maybe you could tie that there like this is like back and forth motion
Kevin: Oh, no Isaac: CONFLICT
Isaac: No, but it's like like it if you think about it in Handel's Symphony
Issac: I think it's 101 like the clock. did i say Handel? dang it--- Hayden Kevin: You mean Hayden, you said Handel
Isaac: I don't know why I said Handel but it was like clocks like that's just like a perfect picture
but then there's this one's like you could maybe
Kevin: [sings]
Isaac: It's like the instrumentation too - they were like
Riding over other other parts just like I'm better than this. Kevin: So there's no music video for that one
Umu: nope both of these are b-side songs Both: whatttt
Kevin: I I feel like with a good dance that chorus could be elevated to something special
Umu: So the next one is called spit it out, and it was released in F(X)'s
2014 album called red light. spit it out plays off the same grimy glitchy and militant
electronic beats in red light that a few other songs in the album
also share, the lyrics of this song are on
Ultimatum of confidence playing on the metaphor of love being edible and asking the person who doesn't appreciate their love to "spit it out"
this was composed by Swedish composer Ceasar and Loui, Olaf Linskod and
Jasmine Anderson and the lyrics were written by Misfit Kevin: three two one Isaac: Oh gosh
KEvin: Did it just go from major to minor in the very first two notes... I think it did
I like this, this is my jam
Olivia: mixture Aaron: woah wait but what modes are these in
Lindsey: i love me some triads whoo
oh
oh woah
Kevin: OH
Isaac: Oh Shoot
Peyton: whoever produces their like electronic track---- Charlotte: knows what they're doing Pey: yeah
Peyton: oh yeah i like that
Aaron: Yeah, they like to use the whole triplet thing. to throw you off!
KEvin: i like how it goes down then it goes up
Symmetry
Stephen: it's like I feel like it's the opposite of what we're talking about in the other song where they had so many effects clashing
Naoki: oh yeah
You could hear the lyrics just fine. If anything it feels like sometimes. It sounds like almost like yeah, like a little bit empty Naoki: sparse, yeah
Peyton: i like that they have like two rappers for a group like this electronic heavy, I feel like you need more of that sound
Fiona: ohh i like how it changed from like video game background now it's all--- it's like TENSION Lindsey: I like that there's this little...
Lindsey: like a chromatic thing going on in the bass and the lower voice
Olivia: some little.. Aaron: this is some nice chromaticism
Olivia: yeah some chromatic chords Aaron: That sounded like a is it like voice crossing? voice exchange.. it's a voice exchange.
Before the bass drops and you're just like-- Olivia: Luna's hair's cool Aaron: I'm just gonna take off my pants right now
Naoki: I want to say something about the bass, but I don't really know what to say about it
It's got that like kind of like electronic vibe so it's not as like staccato as like an actual bass
It doesn't have that attack sound which is interesting
for a bass
Fiona: Now it's like bigger feel bigger feel here. Lindsey: We're like getting ethereal
Olivia: I like how they're doing a nice little texture thing when they were like
Singing it was short compared to like a longer like vocal part where they would like
elongate the words and like it was like really short and crisp which is really cool
Lindsey: It's like 6 to b6 in the lower voice part which is weird
Isaac: WOAH
AND WE'RE BACK AT IT AGAINNNNN
Kevin: OHHH the lyric's come back
Peyton: They're like layering one of the other tunes on top of this one that's cool
Isaac: No, it's finished Kevin: I like how the screen fades with it Isaac: oh even the screen..ah!
Isaac: Or maybe the computer turned off Kevin: I thought it was the computer dying
Isaac: WOW
Kevin: It was just such a hype track with so many electronic sounds that I can't explain
Isaac: it's the 8-bit feeling like
ISaac: Kind of just pops the sound here and there no
But there's that and also the way they play around with the beats like [demonstrates]
KEvin: there's so many variations like the bridge with the staccato stuff and then stuff spanning left and right and then you got your
Got your coordinate. Yeah
There's definitely some quarter tones that were in there Isaac: and they're also going upwards too
Kevin: So motivically satisfying i cant even
Isaac: It's just so great . You know, it's also like it gives you your expectations and it makes it even better Kevin: yeah it's so great It's not what typically
Isaac: I don't know. KEvin: That's true
Kevin: yeah, it doesn't like overt your
Expectations it just ---- Isaac: it just kicks it off Stephen: Yeah in some ways, especially with like the kind of dubstep-y
Stephen: house like music vibe that they had going on like with the melody that they have repeated after like the chorus
It was almost in the sense more grungy than the last song we just listened to however Naoki: was it grungry?
Stephen: well Oh, I definitely think so
at least I was hearing that because the the other one
sounded more Guruji but that was just because they had so many like heavy hard Naoki: but some of the effects were grungy
Naoki: but this was like more electronic Stephen: I thought the last one was electronic, too
But I'm just saying like I feel like this one I was getting more of that vibe
But the way they use the effects were in a manner that didn't conflict with the double-whole line
Naoki: yeah no I agree with that. Katie: I liked the first one a lot better
Umu: Did you feel like the first one was more rhythmically intense or it's just specifically like the sounds that didn't catch your attention as much
Jarod: I think the key thing whenever you try to have like a powerful message like in this case
It's like, you know spitting out love or trying to like escape whatever kind of problematic situation here
You need to have the kind of soundscape that's going to best complement that message and I feel that
like the pink tape that we just listened to did a great job with that because the beat was very driving very intense and then
So was the message so it kind of went hand in hand with this
It was it was very like playful in a sense and kind of like humorous, you know
You could put this with another song from another group that would have them just kind of goofing off having a good time and like this
like this beat would fit in with that and
Wouldn't be a message as serious as you know
trying to escape like a problematic relationship pairing that with a kind of
Goofy, light-hearted beat isn't gonna help your message and isn't gonna help the beat. You're just gonna get caught in this little weird in-between
I don't know the Korean language. So if I heard this and you'd tell me that this is about spitting out love
Who knows what I can put my imagination would have thought it was because of the beat so doesn't really feed itself
That's I think that's the biggest thing. It's like it didn't feel cohesive. Olivia: It was a little sexual
I think that it has nice little dramatic moments. It had some a little bit of mode
Aaron: I would totally strip to it-- in class
Like 8 inch heels Lindsey: Yeah, very sexual Fiona: It made it really witty, you know it was like spit it out
Fiona: Spit out my love spit out some other things too because this girl's over it at this point
Yeah, you know, it's not like am I gonna do it? She's like b*tch im doing it
Umu: Okay, and yeah, what do you think of spit it out compared to toys since this was released a year later
Lindsey: It's kind of funny because they're like very similar in
Message, it's almost like the storyline continues like the plot thickens
And in the first one they were like you can't just mess around with me
Like I'm your toy and then in the next one, they're like actually get the f*ck out
Naoki: I think the first one was more interesting, but I think the second one was a better song
Stephen: I feel like the first one was more rhythmically active because they just had so--
Literally like they threw the kitchen sink in there
like oh my word Naoki: the second one was just a bit too sparse for my taste
Stephen: Yeah, but I thought the second one maybe yeah
might be considered a better song just because I don't know they did a lot more with a lot less
Isaac: this one was killer. This was just out of this
ISaac: World Kevin: yeah, you could say that they were spitting out FIRE
