Hi,
I'm having some issues relating to my disability at my store and Dayforce says I can reach out to my regional. I believe her name is Sunshine. Does anyone know how I can find her email?
Thank you
This one’s for the gamer popheads~
Back in the day, I was a gamer bro teenager, as culturally as far away from the world of pop music as I had ever been in my life. That is, until I played GTAV for the first time and began to experience Non-Stop-Pop FM; “Pop Hits from the 80s, 90s, Naughties and Today”
The original setlist from GTAV, with commentary from Cara Delevingne, was the push that made me fall in love with so much pop music. It introduced me to Applause from Gaga, Gimme More from Britney, Tennis Court from Lorde, Scandalous from Mis-Teeq, the Freemason mix of Work by Kelly Rowland…. Kylie Minogue, Fergie, Simply Red…. and literally so much more. That radio became the foundation of my love for pop music, to be honest. As time has gone on, too, I think it has become a fascinating capture of the cultural moment in music we lived through during that era. I’m really excited to see what they’ve cooked up for GTA6, and wanted to see if anyone had thoughts or their own memories from GTA5 that they’d like to share!
A few songs I think could have a chance:
-Havana by Camila Cabello (would fit the miami vibe)
-Killshot by Magdalena Bay (From Miami, fits the vibe)
-Bed Chem / Good Graces from Sabrina (one of her clubby mixes)
-Feels by Calvin Harris / Pharrell / Katy Perry
I think they’ll throw in a newer Gaga track too, but i’m not sure which. Mayhem feels perhaps too avant garde for the GTA vibes that Applause was able to capture…
I’ve been fascinated lately by the idea of an artist paying homage to their inspiration. Gaga’s MAYHEM album already felt like an album of her personal takes on the styles of the artists who inspire her, but that was elevated to a new level with her requiem show! The NIN of it all really stood out to me at parts, it was so cool.
Olivia Rodrigo’s been quite direct about the inspiration she finds in The Cure, as well. Especially with her upcoming single!
With this in mind, I’m interesting in learning about artists who have payed homage to their favorites through songs of their own.
Likewise, I’m interested in opening conversation regarding what sets a musical homage apart from a clone or copy? The phrase “reheating nachos” has become common lingo in a lot of pop circles, and I recall Halsey’s Great Impersonator launching to mixed reception. So clearly there’s an art to it, too.
Cheers
