I’m a well known apologist for Billie Eilish, even her newer over-produced garbage (to be clear, I can’t really defend the last offering, frankly – that is really just inedible garbage – the James Bond song is pretty much where I drew the line).
Billie is entering “Childish Gambino” levels of disappointing sellout garbage. (At least Glover gave us “This is America” before he lost the plot and joined Disney.)
But there is another.
In terms of self-made SoundCloud skank musicians, LIA LIA is better. Possibly way better (we don’t know yet).
And she’s not even a fat slob shilling for Democrats.
I mean, she’ll obviously get fatter and start shilling if someone asks her to shill. Women are stupid whores.
But I love this shit.
I don’t understand why this isn’t getting more attention.
None of her videos even have 100,000 views.
This video is from 2017, so it’s not like she just popped up and hasn’t hit it yet.
That song is at least as good as anything Billie is putting out now, if not quite up to par with her original SoundCloud stuff.
It just shows really that the people who are pop stars are just picked basically at random, and often for how shitty they are.
I do think that Billie actually overcame that, because her music is actually good, and she was able to rally organic support on SoundCloud and money for high production value videos.
But LIA LIA is better, probably.
At the very least, she’s a lot more fun.
She has less than two thousand subs on her YouTube and she’s only put up three videos on it, so maybe this is not a career and something she just does for fun?
Her SoundCloud is not much more active. Though there are two good songs on there that are not on her YouTube page.
Plus an 11-minute stream mix that is beautiful.
If this was the old days when I had a huge readership and reach, I’d make it a goal to make LIA LIA a real pop star.
Unfortunately, I don’t have that power anymore.
I have even less power since the Russians decided to evict me from my domain while cribbing my talking points for their most important speech since the Berlin wall came down.
She’s German, by the way (as opposed to Dutch). In the old days, we could have gotten her arrested for Holocaust denial just by promoting her music. Of course, nothing would happen to her because she’s a young and attractive woman.
But I hope she makes more music.
I’m an official stan.
As far as I can tell, there isn’t an album to download on Bandcamp or whatever. It’s just these songs. I would pay for more of these songs.
If she’s reading this (and I’m sure she is because I’m a lot more famous than she is), I’d advise putting out more music, without the videos (necessarily).
The music is really good. Yes, you’re cute. We get that. But not every song has to have a video of you looking cute and acting silly.
Do you really think you and your team couldn’t put out an album better than the original The Avalanches albums?
Billie Eilish is a fat bitch occupying your throne, babe.
At the very least, you can make a lot of money by being a right-wing favorite. I do still have the ability to distribute these kinds of ideas.
Don’t make Nazi songs, you will go to prison.
But the moth song is fantastic, as it directly mocks the absurdity of modern society. That’s all you have to do.
Don’t let the light fade.
(Yes, I think the moth song should be played on right-wing live streams.)
