ArsMoriendi: ðŸƒâ€â™‚ï¸May SOTD 2021ðŸƒâ€â™€ï¸

ArsMoriendi 04.30.21	ADHD month! whoo
parksungjoon 04.30.21	best band agreed
Trifolium 04.30.21	ARS this is BRILLIANT!!!! Let's think for a second... (minute!).
parksungjoon 04.30.21	any grind/thrashcore
Colton 04.30.21	Under a minute feels very limiting, under 2 mins would be better imo
DadKungFu 04.30.21	Under a minute makes you have to work to find something good though, I like the challenge.
DadKungFu 04.30.21	Like hardmode is definitely songs that aren't punk/grind though
YoYoMancuso 04.30.21	Minor Threat - Straight Edge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsAu-nOg3Tw&ab_channel=MinorThreat-Topic my favorite memory with this song is playing it during a presentation I gave in my speech class and everybody hating it
Pangea 04.30.21	Mannequin Pussy - Drunk I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNWSu3yLoYk from Patience
Pangea 04.30.21	no excuse to be behind this time boys
parksungjoon 04.30.21	>my favorite memory with this song is playing it during a presentation I gave in my speech class and everybody hating it hahahaha good lad shame seeing red is a tad too long, fuckin love that one too
ArsMoriendi 04.30.21	"Like hardmode is definitely songs that aren't punk/grind though" I almost picked a 36 second 70s prog song so it's not impossible
DadKungFu 04.30.21	Wire - Field Day For The Sundays Catchy, incisive and as minimalist as it gets. Not a wasted second on this track. https://youtu.be/098IhhIOJeY
budgie 04.30.21	adolescents - self destruct https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGZ_7by6wZo
Minushuman24 04.30.21	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQe4e6DrA-Q&ab_channel=MURF Let's fucking goooooooo MURF - I'd Buy That For A Dollar
Trifolium 04.30.21	DJ Krush - AM 300 TAG (from Krush) My superhero. This man has so much style and all of his stuff rules. Hmmm!!! https://youtu.be/vLW92nvYMW8
YoYoMancuso 04.30.21	let's frickin go budgie. i love me some tony hawk 3 bands
ReefaJones 04.30.21	Naked City - Bonehead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXcgg7WC7LI
DadKungFu 04.30.21	^^ probably going to be my favorite song this month
rifkadm 04.30.21	My rec is Coffee by Jack Stauber off of the album Shop: A Pop Opera. https://youtu.be/6D830xSFET0 I would also recommend watching the little claymation video for this too! Itâ€™s cute.
Divaman 04.30.21	Blink-182 - "Generational Divide" from Nine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ-NycSnGsc This is about the best I can do, given the parameters.
nol 04.30.21	Ars casually ruining all my rec ideas nice
nol 04.30.21	Can you just pause my rec at 1 minute or
nol 04.30.21	Fertilizer - Frank Ocean https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T4o-rrRLka0 This may be off Frankâ€™s album, but Iâ€™m really reccing this song for who wrote it: James Fauntleroy. This was the first Iâ€™d heard of him, but he went on to co-write, produce, and star in some of my favorite projects from the last decade, including Kendrickâ€™s To Pimp a Butterfly, JTâ€™s 20/20 Vision, and Brunoâ€™s 24k Magic. Despite his prolific status in the music industry, heâ€™s all but unknown except in the most elite circles. So have a little music history lesson with this short-but-sweet bit of Stevie Wonder worship!
SlothcoreSam 04.30.21	Bad Religion - Do What You Want. Off the album, Suffer https://youtu.be/6CJyD3QlDIg Fuck, I have a million songs I could choose. Love short songs, nice theme Arse.
SlothcoreSam 04.30.21	If you want 101 songs under 30 seconds, check out this awesome compilation. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/6629/Various-Artists-Short-Music-For-Short-People/#lastpost https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wW6ykueIhX8
ArsMoriendi 04.30.21	Sloth, your song's actually over a minute (1:05) (1:07 if you count the 2 seconds of silence, which I don't) TBH traditionally the themes are only a suggestion not a rule, so I'll allow it, but know it doesn't authentically fit the theme
SlothcoreSam 04.30.21	I have a version that's 59 seconds, on the All Ages LP. It's live, but still great. I'll find a link to it. https://youtu.be/KeYg79kzpEw
ArsMoriendi 04.30.21	Perfect!
Dedes 04.30.21	Where it Ends by The Secret From Solve Et Coagula https://youtu.be/6nX-5alDQ14 56 seconds of nasty riffs and blackened grindcored crust punked devastation. Basically, a guaranteed Ars 5.
Minushuman24 05.01.21	I'm gonna be the first one to rate a song, because I wanna listen to the Minutemen. 1. Search - Minutemen - That bass, that guitar, so incredible, and so dancy. 4.0
tyman128 05.01.21	Converge - No Light Escapes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zLiIYhImqo Just a chaotic 51 seconds
Minushuman24 05.01.21	HEY DO WHAT YOU WANT, BUT DONT TO IT AROUND ME
Cygnatti 05.01.21	ngl, I'm not rly interested in a bunch of one minute songs so I'll prob skip this one.
DadKungFu 05.01.21	Aw shit I shoulda done Phoenix in Flames
TVC15 05.01.21	Orchid - Anna Karina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTkAcf3lyT0&ab_channel=Orchid-Topic A great 15 second song named after an awesome actress
nol 05.01.21	@ars: I added a desc for mine
SlothcoreSam 05.01.21	"Hey, I don't know if the billions will survive But I'll believe in God when one and one are five My moniker is man and I'm rotten to the core I'll tear down the building just to pass through the door"
JohnnyoftheWell 05.01.21	OK this is a month i can do, cool theme. was gonna do april, but not having wifi for a large chunk of the early month ruined me naked city song is cool but should have been Speedfreaks or Igneous Ejaculation
JohnnyoftheWell 05.01.21	brb gonna find a 61 second song to drop here
budgie 05.01.21	NO JOHNNNNNNNNUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
rifkadm 05.01.21	I'm gonna do this month's entire song list the day that all 31 spots are filled. Thanks Ars!
rifkadm 05.01.21	And all my reviews are gonna be less than 60 characters.
Colton 05.01.21	13. Leave the Door Open - oof, cringe. Idk how this can be a hit in 2021 with lyrics as fuckboish as this. He was creepy when he expected his gf to jump in front of a train for him just like he says he would for her and he is still creepy now with his sonic equivalent if â€œu up?â€ Instrumentally this song is ok, but I think Iâ€™ll pass on the song version of thirsty fuckboi blowing up the message request folder of girls on FB, IG and any other social media platform. [1.7]
Divaman 05.01.21	Wrong list, Colton. You're looking for the April SOTD list.
Colton 05.01.21	oh shit my bad
JohnnyoftheWell 05.01.21	okay we've already got a lot of the obvious shi (Converge/Orchid/Naked City/Wire) and it's so easy to rec hardcore or grind here that imma go wholesome instead Deerhoof - The Eyebright Bugler (from Reveille) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyuT0_C0_jA
nol 05.01.21	@diva: he knows
ArsMoriendi 05.01.21	Only on Sputnik is Converge and Orchid more obvious than Minutemen lol
budgie 05.01.21	i h8 converg
porcupinetheater 05.01.21	Put me in, coach Guided by Voices - Wondering Boy Poet It's off the Vampire on Titus record Here's a link for your trouble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEVMPihmZa4 Thank you for your time.
someone 05.01.21	I'll put something in soon
cordwainerbird 05.01.21	what im getting from this list is i should check out double nickels on the dime
parksungjoon 05.01.21	yea its like the best album ever
JohnnyoftheWell 05.01.21	yeah i feel that tbh
budgie 05.01.21	eat my feathery butt jonne
dedex 05.01.21	aight very cool theme Jazz Liberatorz - Music in My Mind Part 1 (album: Fruit of the Past) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaFZnuFYuNc MeauxTown Jazz
Pheromone 05.01.21	i am assuming 1 minute 1 second doesn't count?
Pheromone 05.01.21	well, this isn't that but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhr8xYRi0UI good show of the many shifts of cornballs
Divaman 05.01.21	Minutemen - Mid-tempo, the beat sounds a little like "Same As It Ever Was", with a less compelling vocal. They're using almost the whole minute, which is just wearing me out. 2.8
Divaman 05.01.21	I don't know if it's just my Chromebook, but the work sheet translated weird this time, with some of the horizontal lines about twice as heavy as the rest.
DadKungFu 05.01.21	Mid-tempo, the beat sounds a little like "Once in a Lifetime" with a more compelling vocal. Funky af, great start to the month 4.0
GhandhiLion 05.01.21	Double Nickels on the Dime [2]
JohnnyoftheWell 05.01.21	They're using almost the whole minute, which is just wearing me out i will insta5 any 1 min 1 sec songs on principle
Divaman 05.01.21	Johnny is DQ'd!
JohnnyoftheWell 05.01.21	nerd
Divaman 05.01.21	: O
Divaman 05.01.21	Work sheet looks OK from my work laptop. So either somebody fixed it in the last hour, or it's just a weird glitch w/my Chromebook.
Divaman 05.01.21	Yeah, it was my Chromebook. Or the Google browser vs. the Safari browser. But it looks fine on my work computer, and f'ed up on my Chromebook. So never mind.
YoYoMancuso 05.01.21	Search - love me some funk guitars 3.8
nol 05.01.21	coming around to this theme honestly, the playlist is so short n sweet ill be able to really learn these songs
nol 05.01.21	I will finally know the answer to the age-old question: is this punk? the answer is yes
LeddSledd 05.01.21	trying to decide between two different very different psych rock bits to put down for this one
nol 05.01.21	how the playlist goes from all punk into Johnny's pick is probably the funniest shit ever
Colton 05.01.21	1. Sounds like a bunch of dudes jamming while forgetting they were recording and then actually making a song out of it cause why not. The riff at the beginning has a nice rhythm though. 4.5/10
Pheromone 05.01.21	this is the month for me, this is the month i do it
nol 05.01.21	https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0RxfAvTVKv0f4Ty2OrB3pM?si=uZZn9xZdTbqrobJEST83FQ have a playlist, RIP bonehead
LeddSledd 05.01.21	Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - Fields, Woods, Time Ok I know I've shared these guys on SOTD before but this interlude is too lush and dense with that good shit not to put it down https://youtu.be/UwVF1FJJTno
ArsMoriendi 05.01.21	@Colton: we score things out of 5, not 10, on the doc, so I'm marking you down for a 2.3
nol 05.01.21	Search - This band's number one song is called "Corona" and it was released in the 80's. Oracles? Nah, they're just alcoholics. [2.7]
ArsMoriendi 05.01.21	Corona in that song refers to the beer, yeah, but the song's actually about pollution (IE corona bottles littered) It's their most popular cuz it became the show Jackass's theme song
nol 05.01.21	im kinda proud i didn't know that
fogza 05.01.21	The Forms - Stel 1. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=fGSquDJLQw4&feature=share
DadKungFu 05.01.21	Pretty sure it's about being a rich American tourist in Mexico and seeing firsthand the poverty there and D. recognizing his role in it damn do y'all even Minutemen
dedex 05.01.21	1. Search - owyeah. a tad rough around the edge but love their funky shit. 3.5
LeddSledd 05.01.21	Search - fun track. got some character to it but could maybe use a bit of polish. 3.3
ArsMoriendi 05.01.21	"Pretty sure it's about being a rich American tourist in Mexico and seeing firsthand the poverty there and D. recognizing his role in it damn do y'all even Minutemen" I guess not haha, but I like Double Nickles on the Dime to 4.5 it... though I'll admit Corona isn't one of my most listened to tracks on there. Viet Nam on the other hand
DadKungFu 05.01.21	Vietnam is choice, easily top 5 on the album and maybe top 3
nol 05.01.21	I just checked Vietnam out of curiosity earlier today, fuckin banger
Minushuman24 05.02.21	2. Straight Edge - Minor Threat - I mean this song had to be somewhere in here right? Raw, fun, easy to sing along with. Who cares if straight edge is lame, Minor Threat fucking rules. 4.2
budgie 05.02.21	minutemen - 2.5 idk why i never cared about these dudes minor threat - 5.0 one of the best tracks ever from one of the best discogs ever mannequin pussy - 3.0 pretty dynamic for a minute long track wire - 3.5 yep
Minushuman24 05.02.21	fuck yeaaa budgie
fogza 05.02.21	1. Search - I don't really get excited by the MM, but this is pretty good. 3.5 2. Straight edge - It's important and all, but I just can't help thinking "I wish this was Fugazi". 2.5
dedex 05.02.21	2. Straight Edge - clearly not my fav Minor Threat. 3.6
Pangea 05.02.21	1. Search - Cool stuff. 3.7 2. Straight edge - love the ferocious energy here. 4.0
DadKungFu 05.02.21	2. Straight Edge - Classic track, not my favorite Minor Threat but still goes hard. 4.1
someone 05.02.21	Hey can I reserve a spot and add a song when I have one?
NorthernSkylark 05.02.21	Nvm
ArsMoriendi 05.02.21	"Straight Edge" The music's here is meh. Punk was doing a ton of interesting things in 1981 and this isn't one of them. The vocals are VERY mumbled too, so while it's supposed to be a messaged-driven song, you end up having to look up the lyrics for the most part to get the details. I swear, people like the idea of this song more than the actual song. Sure it started a movement in punk, but let's be super real: this song is on the Richard Nixon side of the drug war. This is Richard Nixon punk to a point where it even takes a shot at marijuana. Fuck it, D.A.R.E program punk. 2.5/5
nol 05.02.21	straight edge - it's uhhh... this month is gonna be impossible lol. Really don't get the point of this type of punk, all sounds the same to me [2.3]
SlothcoreSam 05.02.21	1. Search. 3.7 Great little jangly tune, wish it was longer and went in a crazy direction. 2. Straight Edge. 3.8. Simple, but full of raw passionate enthusiasm, great way to introduce yourselves to the world. 3. Drunk I, 3.3. Loved this album when it came out, Drunk II was my favorite of the album, this song is good, and works well within the album, but people need to listen to the full album.
rifkadm 05.02.21	Lmao D.A.R.E program punk lol
SlothcoreSam 05.02.21	4. Field day for the Sundays. 3.8. Does everything a short song need to do. 5. Self Destruct. 4.9 Almost perfect. Going to be hard to top this.
Divaman 05.02.21	Minor Threat - Bracing myself. Driving guitar. I know he was singing "I've got straight edge," but the first couple of times, I thought he was saying, "I've got V.D." 3.0
Minushuman24 05.02.21	3. Drunk I - Mannequin Pussy - Rules so hard, a lot going on in such a short time. One of the best young bands out there. 3.7
someone 05.02.21	here's a song my girl made some years ago. https://youtu.be/8KBfXnTH0JI slap me on there boi
someone 05.02.21	the lyrics are beautiful, but you'll have to take my word for that. the singing is too... you should hear it for yourselves the story behind that is that Milan Princ, a Czech poet, was close to dying 6 years ago and asked his musician friends to turn his poems into songs. and this was one of them
ArsMoriendi 05.03.21	9 more recs to go, let's get more people
dedex 05.03.21	3. Drunk I - great lil energizer. 3.7
fogza 05.03.21	3. Drunk - Pretty good. 3.6
anat 05.03.21	jon brion - elephant parade from the eternal sunshine ost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-301GkGl6k
parksungjoon 05.03.21	sol niger within by fredrik thordendal's special defects has a whole bunch of sub-1m tracks actually
budgie 05.03.21	watch ur profamity
parksungjoon 05.03.21	trif or some other super based user can u put one of those in here for me
DadKungFu 05.03.21	Drunk 1 - Holy shit I love it. Thanks for turning me onto this band, can't wait to check out more. 4.1
Pangea 05.03.21	mannequin pussy are great, enjoy!
Divaman 05.03.21	Mannequin Pussy - Guitar. Godawful vocal. Sounds like there might be a girl in the background somewhere who can actually sing, but they've got her covered up pretty good. 2.0 (Sorry Pangea. :( )
DadKungFu 05.03.21	Diva, you seem to rate a lot of songs based on such criteria as "talent" and "songwriting ability" which is hella unbased and I won't have it.
nol 05.03.21	Hmm
ArsMoriendi 05.03.21	"Drunk I" Heavy riot girl indie with some abrasive vocals? Cool enough, but not amazing. 3.4/5
Divaman 05.03.21	I apologize for my perversion, DKF.
ieatbabies795 05.03.21	Creative theme this month, I like
fogza 05.04.21	4. Field day for the Sundays - Characteristically clever little interlude but works better in context of the album - 3.5
Koris 05.04.21	The Locust - Identity Exchange Program Rectum Return Policy at 59 seconds ;]
dedex 05.04.21	4. Field Day for the Sundays - yup it does work better within the album. Still slaps. 3.8
DadKungFu 05.04.21	Adolescents - All that is skate punk in under one minute. 3.7
nol 05.04.21	Drunk 1 - obnoxious yelling with nice guitars and a driving beat. [2.8] Field Day for Sundays - Will any song even get a 3 from me? Doubt. [2.2]
nol 05.04.21	all these punk songs are the same thing over and over and over and over and over again
Divaman 05.04.21	Wire - Sounds like the seed of a good song. 3.0
Divaman 05.04.21	Yeppers, noler. If you've heard one ...
ieatbabies795 05.04.21	Goddamnit I want to pick Wavy by SZA, wouldâ€™ve been perfect since itâ€™s so short yet so sweetâ€¦ but itâ€™s 13 seconds too long x(
nol 05.04.21	(Rec it anyway)
nol 05.04.21	also that song is written by the same guy as my song
ieatbabies795 05.04.21	Yes it is noler;) Okay my pick is Wavy by SZA !
nol 05.04.21	fuck the system!
nol 05.04.21	idk about that song, but eternal sunshine is a 10/10 movie
Pangea 05.04.21	Field Day for Sundays - nice, has a pretty great groove. 3.3
ArsMoriendi 05.05.21	"Field Day for the Sundays" This feels like an entire song, yet it's under 30 seconds! Fun, straightforward, and catchy. It takes a talented band to pack so much info in such a short amount of time. 4.5/5
YoYoMancuso 05.05.21	"Drunk I" - this goes hard 3.7 "Field Day for the Sundays" pretty cool but it sounded like it was about to get to the good part and then it just stopped 3.5
Minushuman24 05.05.21	ars have you not listened to wire!
budgie 05.05.21	hi my name is minus human and i eat butt sandwiches
Minushuman24 05.05.21	4. Field Day for the Sundays - Wire - This album is just all around super solid, this is actually one of my favorite tracks on Pink Flag. 4.0 5. Self Destruct - Adolescents - This is one of the weaker cuts on the self titled, Good thing that the album is one of the best punk albums ever recorded. It rules. 3.8
Minushuman24 05.05.21	no slander allowed in here!
DadKungFu 05.05.21	tbh this whole time i thought you were minushu man
Minushuman24 05.05.21	lol, it's usually 50/50 when I first meet people But yeah it is supposed to be minus human, because I was 15 and liked metallica too much
fogza 05.05.21	5. Self destruct - I had a listen to the album for context. Seems like all the songs that are good or have something going on are written by this Rikk Agnew guy, and all the other ones are mostly generic. This was not written by Rikk. 2.6
budgie 05.05.21	minushu man strikes again
dedex 05.05.21	5. Self Destruct - fast 80s punk. that's it for me. 3.1
ArsMoriendi 05.05.21	"Self Destruct" Cool bass, fun song. This month is neat so far. 3.9/5
YoYoMancuso 05.05.21	Self Destruct - itâ€™s a shame â€œAmoebaâ€ is over a minute long 4.0 The Home Depot Beat - nut 6.5
Divaman 05.05.21	Adolescents - Fast driving guitar. Typical punk vocal. Idk, they're all running together for me. I guess this is at the upper end of the spectrum. 3.2
Pangea 05.05.21	Self Destruct - don't love the vocals but nice riff and the bass break halfway through is super cool. 3.5
ieatbabies795 05.05.21	Troye Sivon - could cry just thinking about you okay okay i found a track thats actually under a minute
neekafat 05.06.21	"Do the Moo Shoo" - VeggieTales (it's not from that album but just put A Queen, a King, and a Very Blue Berry) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv666j_PZHU Sorry boys I only rep the classics
Divaman 05.06.21	Sweet. Thanks neeka.
neekafat 05.06.21	thank me when you've heard it (;
fogza 05.06.21	6. I'd Buy That for a Dollar - I like Robocop and all, but this is ridiculous! 2.2
Divaman 05.06.21	How painful can it be? It's only a minute or less long, right?
Divaman 05.06.21	Damn it neeka, you're right. YouTube won't let me save the damned thing into my playlist because it's listed as a children's song. Grrr!
neekafat 05.06.21	I warned you!
dedex 05.06.21	6. I'd Buy That for a Dollar - woah this one is nasty. 3.9. btw I'm excited to listen to the first non-punk song tomorrow lel
ieatbabies795 05.06.21	update this damn playlist >:(
JesperL 05.06.21	okok yes thank u diva for nudging me: vansire - from the subway train (from 'angel youth') https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04O4L8R3L38
DadKungFu 05.06.21	Rounding off the punk streak with a band that's apparently very into Robocop. Can't help feeling like I'd have liked this a lot more about ten years ago but as it is it goes hard and doesn't really wear out its welcome, even if it's pretty silly. 3.4
Divaman 05.06.21	ieatbabies' song link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcnKG9-ANuU
Divaman 05.06.21	So I think that gives us 27 songs so far. Doof just asked me for the link to this list, and I asked a couple of others to pop in as well, so I think we'll close to full once everyone checks in.
Divaman 05.06.21	MURF - Fast guitars and some maniac screaming. The only thing I can understand is "I'd buy that for a dollar." OK. 2.5
farmerobama 05.06.21	Gong - Givin' My Love To You
Divaman 05.06.21	28. Three songs to go.
ArsMoriendi 05.06.21	TBH if you guys would post links with your songs it'd be a lot harder for me to miss them Otherwise it's like looking for a needle in a haystack
ArsMoriendi 05.06.21	"I'd Buy That for a Dollar" Oh look it's Miguel Ferrer! Gross vocals, decent guitar. Not my thing, but it has some good elements. 2.9/5
DadKungFu 05.06.21	I never understood Miguel Ferrer's appeal as a "cult" character actor. Like Harry Dean Stanton or Lance Henriksen I get but Miguel's always just been kind of there idk
ArsMoriendi 05.06.21	I just love him as Albert on Twin Peaks
Divaman 05.06.21	Yeah. Me too.
ieatbabies795 05.06.21	it was so tough to find even a decent song that wasnt a punk/hardcore track but hey im glad i found a good track to toss in there
Minushuman24 05.06.21	The fact that I got a 2.9 on a MURF song from ars is a win for me
zakalwe 05.06.21	Elizabeth My Dear - Stone Roses When I first heard this as a teen it was cool and rebellious. Listening to it now as a middle aged bloke in his forties the thing still carries a menace and threat. Canâ€™t knock a bit of Scarborough Fair either. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t7Xi1Jt9lXM
fogza 05.07.21	7. AM 300 TAG - Awesome because it's not punk or hardcore. The catch is it sounds like an interlude, or a dude recording an idea on his Dictaphone, as opposed to a song. 2.5
ArsMoriendi 05.07.21	"AM 300 TAG" The song wastes 8 seconds shaking a spray paint can. Now it's instrumental hip hop with a bit of a jazz feel. Something about the fade-out makes this seem like such a transitionary track. It's fine, but it doesn't make great use of the little time it has. 3/5
dedex 05.07.21	7. AM 300 TAG - lmaoooooooo that yt vid opens with "DEX MUSIC" ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ it indeed sounds more like an interlude, but that's what you got with 59 seconds hip hop tunes. 3.2 also put some respek on Miguel, dude was super cool in Robocop, Hot Shots 2, and Traffic
Trifolium 05.07.21	I would have thought many interludes would make the list but apparently that wasn't what you all were thinking... Hmm... Also it's an INTRO!!!!! ðŸ¤© HA! Fooled you!
Divaman 05.07.21	DJ Krush - 10 seconds of dead space before he even starts. And then ... yep, it IS an intro. 2.5
fogza 05.08.21	8. Auntie's Harp - this also sounds a bit interludey, but maybe a bit less so. 3
DadKungFu 05.08.21	7. DJ Krush - Yeah it feels like an intro and not a fleshed out song but it feels like it sets the stage for something potentially really good. 3.5 Flying Lotus - Beautifully produced little amuse-bouche of a track. 3.8
JohnnyoftheWell 05.08.21	1. Minutemen - Search: funk punk grooves yes very good funk punk koolboi vox not so good I should listen to this band 3.5 2. Minor Threat - Straight Edge: Maybe this is good I should listen to this band too but Minutemen are definitely coming first 3.2 3. Mannequin Pussy - Drunk I: This is fun and catchy and pretty solid, huge swag points for using 10 entire seconds of a 53 second song for absolutely nothing 3.7 4. Wire - Field Day for the Sundays: Heh yeah this is iconic. Never listened to it on its own before, so some of its succinctness kinda got swallowed by the rest of the album. But now this has changed. Very cool! 3.8 5. Adolescents - Self Destruct: I always forget that budgie punks. This is surprisingly solid, punk gang are doing okay for once 3.8 6. Murf - I'd Buy That for a Dollar: Yeah okay I could not pick this out of a crowd 3.1 7. Dj Krush - Am 300 Tag: Trip-hop is one of the least sub-60 sec genres ever probably but this still catches its groove and that has to count for SOMETHING. It does not hold it though because TIME. Hmmm. 3.5 8. Flying Lotus - Auntie's Harp: Haven't listened to LA in ages and always thought it was maybe his most overrated. This is a slick interlude loop and it is good 3.7 9. Naked City - Bonehead: Yeah ngl I'm kinda annoyed at this, probably one of my least favourite of Naked City's (memorable) grind tracks. The power chord approach was never the best look for them and I'd happily have thrown down a 5 for one of their flash-in-a-pan classics like NY Flat Top Box, Speedfreaks or Demon Sanctuary. This is still pretty good though 3.3
Divaman 05.08.21	Flying Lotus - An interlude, but nice. 3.2
YoYoMancuso 05.08.21	aight fellas we back 6. Murf 3.0 7. DJ Krush 3.5 8. Flying Lotus 3.5
ArsMoriendi 05.08.21	"Auntie's Harp" Very twinkly. It doesn't really have a beginning or end, so it feels like a transitionary track. Not bad, but I don't love it either. 3.2/5
fogza 05.08.21	9. Bonehead - Sounds like an acting class warm up set to music. Exactly as bad as you would think that sounds. 1
DadKungFu 05.09.21	Bonehead - Prelude to a home invasion 4.1
Divaman 05.09.21	Naked City - No, no, no, no. 1.5
JohnnyoftheWell 05.09.21	the squarehunt is on again
fogza 05.10.21	10. Coffee - The wrong side of cute. 2
dedex 05.10.21	8. Auntie's Harp - one of the best short FlyLo tracks. 3.8 9. Bonehead - first youtube comment: "this is what people who dont like metal think metal sounds like". Yes. It do be frantic. 3.0 10. Coffee - at first I thought fogza exaggerated but yeah some parts of this were cringe af. 2.5
fogza 05.10.21	I NEVER exaggerate
ArsMoriendi 05.10.21	"Bonehead" Is that Yamataka Eye? This is very animalistic like a caveman shouting over a harsh environment. Pretty neat. I guess I was already halfway there though because I like Boredoms. 3.9/5 "Coffee" I know this one! Goofy, simple, and about drinking coffee. The beat isn't the most interesting, but the overall idea is charming in an awkward way. 4/5
JohnnyoftheWell 05.10.21	^yeh Zorn did all his naked city grind shit with Eye. Happy dayz
DadKungFu 05.10.21	Coffee - Started out charming but by the midway point I was just waiting for it to end which is pretty impressive for a song that's under a minute. 2.3
Divaman 05.10.21	Jack Stauber - The secondary vocals in this are cringy. But it IS about coffee, so that's a plus. 2.7
nol 05.10.21	Self Destruct - This is good, I guess. [2.9] I'd buy that for a Dollar - I'd buy this for like 30 cents [2.5] AM 300 Tag - Chill, jazzy little hip hop beat. I liek. [3.2] Auntie's Harp - Lots to unpack here. The percussion is groovy, but overall this feels like something that does a better job stitching tracks together than as a piece on it's own. [3.5] Bonehead - This isn't a song. My masochistic side finds it hilarious tho. [3.0] Coffee - Cute & coffee-infused, there's some genuinely good pop sensibilities here. also pretty annoying, tho. [3.1]]
fogza 05.11.21	11. Generational Divide - It's ok, but something about the vocals bothers me. 3.3
ieatbabies795 05.11.21	This still needs two more songs! Get in
dedex 05.11.21	11. Generational Divide - yeah i really don't like these vocals. 2.4
DadKungFu 05.11.21	Started out great, Travis is still a stellar drummer but yeah like everyone else said the vocals were pretty tired and the song itself didn't really go anywhere. 3
ArsMoriendi 05.11.21	"Generational Divide" I already don't like pop punk and this is bottom of the barrel pop punk. 1.5/5
JesperL 05.11.21	okay let's go, curious to see if i'll rate anything above a like 3.5 tbh lol 1. yea this is p whatever, 2.3 2. still p whatever but at least it has more edge haha get it, 3.0 3. not their best lol why does a 50 sec song have a 15 sec fadeout idk kinda funny, 3.2 4. whatever yea, 2.5 5. whatever yea but with more energy, 2.7 6. lil better ig, 2.9 7. reminds me of an uneventful lift ride which is not a good thing but also better than a lift ride that gets too eventful ig, 2.3 8. see the above but the lift ride is in like a fancy new hotel with maybe a plant or two inside so yay, 3.0 9. well the lift ride just got pretty damn hellish lol, 2.5 10. jk actually this type of lift ride is worse oh no why is this hipster lift sales person trying to get me to buy his new strain of organic weed espresso get me out of here help, 1.5 11. new blink is like an obligatory 2- and this is one of the more annoying new blink songs lol rip, 1.6 sorry 4 being mean
Feather 05.11.21	Spiral by Pinegrove :-)
SlothcoreSam 05.12.21	6. I'd buy that for a dollar. 4.3, love this messy, noisy hardcore punk. Vocals remind me of The Eradicator. 7. Am 300. 3.0. Great intro, or a theme song to a sleazy dark downtown 70s New York detective TV show. 8. Aunties Harp. 2.6 It's an interlude this time, great but wouldn't call it a song. 9. Bonehead. 2.9 This would make a great montage of someone in psychosis losing their shit. Or a porn soundtrack for grasshoppers fucking. 10. Coffee, 0.2. it's bedroom pop written by preteens who are allowed to drink their hipster parent's mocha once a week 11. Generational Divide. 3.0 This is actually Blink 182's best song in almost 20 years, and that's a statement from a sloth that listens to 90% punk, but not this poser sellout shit. 12. Fertalizer. 0.1 You know what Fertalizer is made from, that's what this song is. 13. Do what you want. N/A Hey do what you want, but don't do it around me............ So many quotable lines from this song! I tear down the building just to pass through the door. YA HAY!
DadKungFu 05.12.21	Fertilizer - Hmmm a passable Stevie Wonder ripoff with some whack-ass lyrics. I don't hate it 2.7
Divaman 05.12.21	One more song needed.
ArsMoriendi 05.12.21	2 I thought?
Divaman 05.12.21	No, look 4 comments above. Feather has recommended Spiral by Pinegrove. (He forgot to provide a link, though.)
fogza 05.12.21	12. Fertilizer - As with the previous song, I'm impressed that lyrically this ties up a concept in such an economical way. This does, unfortunately, just sound like one line of a verse recorded over a telephone call, and the spiritual successor of OutKast's silliest hook lyric. 2.5
dedex 05.12.21	12. Fertilizer - didn't care about it :[ 2.5
DoofDoof 05.12.21	Has to be â€˜Covid 19â€™ by The Tiger Lillies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SeR2HG0gGw Song pretty much sums up the last 15 months
Divaman 05.12.21	Doof! You came through! Ok Ars, that fills the month.
Divaman 05.12.21	So do we have a victim ... um, I mean volunteer ... to host June?
Dewinged 05.12.21	Am I late to plug my own band? Well it's exactly 1:02 but... yes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEr0dE11Awo&ab_channel=o%27summervacation
DoofDoof 05.12.21	I'm expecting a lot of 0.5-1.5 ratings for my pick ;) You crazy Americans will all say Monty Python is your favourite show and then shit on the Lillies, I just know it
Pangea 05.12.21	6. I'd Buy That For A Dollar - goes hard. 4.2 7. Am 300 Tag - nice, classy noir vibes. reminds me a bit of portishead. 3.7 8. Auntie's Harp - nice chill vibes, far from my favourite flying lotus though. 3.2 9. Bonehead - lol. 1.0 10. Coffee - Annoying. 2.0 11. Generational Devide - no, blink you haven't become better. 2.0 12. Fertilizer - Frank is bringing the soul. 4.0
Divaman 05.12.21	Frank Ocean - A bunch of noise. Someone changing channels. Piano and wimpy vocals with synth. Pretty incomplete. 2.3
fogza 05.13.21	13. Do What You Want - Ho hum. This list has helped me come to the conclusion that I'm firmly in camp post punk. 2.5
Divaman 05.13.21	Oops, now we have 32 songs, not even counting the Home Depot thingy.
Divaman 05.13.21	>You crazy Americans will all say Monty Python is your favourite show and then shit on the Lillies, I just know it Oh Doof. Please don't soil the good name of Monty Python by trying to associate them with the Tiger Lillies. They don't have all that much in common, other than both being British.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	incorrect
Divaman 05.13.21	See! If Johnny says I'm incorrect, that proves it.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	that is not how sardonic wit works
Divaman 05.13.21	Agree to disagree.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	it is not a matter of opinion i disagree
budgie 05.13.21	kill him diva!!!!
Divaman 05.13.21	By the very act of disagreeing, you have offered an opinion. Thereby proving my point that it's a matter of opinion.
fogza 05.13.21	what is the tiger lillies
budgie 05.13.21	kill him now!!1!!!! before he turns!!!
Divaman 05.13.21	Oh dear. Now you've done it fogza.
Divaman 05.13.21	budgie, Johnny and I are having a friendly disagreement. There's no need for violence here.
Divaman 05.13.21	Unless somebody puts on the Tiger Lillies. Then all bets are off.
fogza 05.13.21	Wiki says they are dark Cabernet, which means they can't be like Monty p
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	it isn't a disagreement let's not bring opinion into this not everything is about you and your opinions. it is about mechanics and aestheÂ
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	yank walks into a bar. bartender says "absrdism". there is no fucking bar. yank panics there can be no punchline now. oh no. someone gets shot.Â
Divaman 05.13.21	I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue unless you pay.
Divaman 05.13.21	Actually, now that you guys have accidentally pointed it out, Monty Python makes much better music than the Lillies.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	okay but that wasn't what the matter of unopinion was about also to quote zak (probably), American budg1e tries to make everything about killing American 2va tries to make everything about money they're all the same nothing has changed in however many years nothing will ever change sods
budgie 05.13.21	how in the fuck are you an english teacher
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	because i speak english and am good at snapping my fingers to illustrate my points and am never late for work which gives me about 3 up on u gg
Divaman 05.13.21	zak must have been really drunk at the time.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	he had a cultured audience and was understood by the people who mattered
budgie 05.13.21	what in the double h e hockey butts does snapping have to do with nothing
Divaman 05.13.21	Other people who were equally drunk.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	psychokinesis except the other way round, it's not fucking rocket science and if you haven't learnt min. 44% of the most important lessons in life when drunk then it's probably too late to learn them now
Divaman 05.13.21	Dammit Johnny. In attempting to make a ridiculous comparison between the Tiger Lillies and Monty Python, you've inadvertently led me into realizing the song I SHOULD have recommended this month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qorQThE0BSY Now I'm all depressed.
Divaman 05.13.21	Crap.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	i never compared the tiger lillies and monty python you just trivialised the idea you were wrong what is this link will i get fired from teaching english if i click it
budgie 05.13.21	way to go johnny you made diva depressed
ArsMoriendi 05.13.21	Sorry Dewi, you're late, but Feather's and Doof's choices are in :D
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	good. maybe he will make peace with dark sardonic forces and realise how many things in this world are connected by them
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	ars please cancel neek's rec and put dewi's in instead, this is a formal request
Divaman 05.13.21	OK Ars, since Johnny, budgie and I have accidentally buried the last three recs, here they are again: 1. Feather rec'd "Spiral" by Pinegrove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDYXzwVHL-0 2. Doof rec'd "COVID-19" by The Tiger Lillies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SeR2HG0gGw 3. Dewinged rec'd "Nuts" by o'summer vacation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEr0dE11Awo&ab_channel=o%27summervacation
Divaman 05.13.21	Oh, you beat me to it. OK, good.
Divaman 05.13.21	You suck, Johnny.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	don't make this personal when you can't even handle the abstract
Divaman 05.13.21	Wait, meet me back in casual conversation.
ArsMoriendi 05.13.21	"ars please cancel neek's rec and put dewi's in instead, this is a formal request" neek is why SotD exists, show some respect! He can rec whatever Bible thumping, edible flora personifying, toddler garbage he wants
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	don't you dare take your bad attitude over there
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	dewi: has kickass noise rock band that's unironically better than half the shite y'all jam neek: hey guys i made a playlist once ha ha here's a dead meme ars: it is important that we listen to neek's suggestion instead of dewi's please point at the disrespected party
ArsMoriendi 05.13.21	First cum, first one to fertilize the egg, y'know?
fogza 05.13.21	the disrespect is flowing thick and fast
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	"hi guys i respect the rules more than dewi's band and i'm going to make breeder jokes to reinforce this and seem kooki lawl"
fogza 05.13.21	timeout, can't we have a double header on the 31st? Especially since all these songs are like the runtime of one GYBE song
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	are you suggesting ars bends the rules? bc i cannot abide that level of disrespect (but yes lol that would be good)
fogza 05.13.21	is this not a site for outcasts and rebels?
ArsMoriendi 05.13.21	There you go you big baby
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	biggest baby biggest egg biggest c
fogza 05.13.21	Now the problem is we have to rate someone we know (as far as anyone can know anyone on sputnik). I can't be all flippant
ArsMoriendi 05.13.21	I assumed the c stood for cunt the first 4 times I read that, but I think Johnny meant cock I'm still going with cunt
JohnnyoftheWell 05.13.21	it is the literal same as the joke you just made but in reverse how do i have to explain this
budgie 05.13.21	what the heck is going on here diva
Pangea 05.13.21	Do What You Want - a very good & catchy punk song. i like it a lot. 4.2
DadKungFu 05.13.21	Do What You Want - my 3rd or 4th favorite Bad Religion song 4.1
Divaman 05.13.21	Bad Religion - Fast guitars and drums. 3.3
nol 05.13.21	my average score from sloth is now 0.15
nol 05.13.21	FERTILIZER ILL TAKE BULLSHIT IF THATS ALL YOU GOT
Colton 05.13.21	2) 1.2/5 3) 3.2/5 kinda slaps 4) 1.5/5 5) 1.5/5 6) 1.5/5
nol 05.13.21	Generational Divide - this better than most of the shit in this thread oops. Still sucks. [2.5] Fertilizer - itâ€™s an interlude, my hands were tied [3.5] Do what you want - while sloth is a [0.1] this song is more of a [3.9]
nol 05.13.21	Whoâ€™s hosting next month? If no one, I wanna do it again.
ArsMoriendi 05.13.21	"Fertilizer" This song would make for great fertilizer, get it because it's shit? I'm kidding I wrote that before I listened to it. Now for my real opinion: Some random sounds and wait there's some catchy piano. A pleasant little ditty. 3.3/5 Bad Religion All Ages "Do What You Want" Yup this is punk. This isn't bad or anything, but nothing about it really stands out in a sea of punk. These vocals remind me of Blink-182 a little, which is a bad thing, but the song, on the whole, isn't awful. 2.8/5
rifkadm 05.13.21	1. Search - basic song for short attention spans [3.2] 2. Straight Edge - drugs are bad mâ€™kay [2.6] 3. Drunk I - cheerleader who screams vibes [3.0] 4. Field Day for the Sundays - Fr my Sundays are also this short rip [3.6] 5. Self Destructs - guitar screm, bass good [4.0] 6. Iâ€™d Buy that for a Dollar - the dollar ainâ€™t worth much tho [3.4] 7. AM 300 Tag - about to crack a case wide open in the seedy part of town [4.0] 8. Auntieâ€™s Harp - eats shrooms â€œhow Auntie get her harp to sound like this?â€ [4.3] 9. Naked City - i think the police should have this [1.8] 11. Generational Divide - 50 seconds is too long to listen to this band [1.3]
rifkadm 05.13.21	12. Fertilizer - I do like this shit [4.0] 13. Do What You Want - slightly better than blink but meh [2.0] 14. Where it Ends - SATANIC SCREM [2.8] 15. No Light Escapes - SATANIC SCREM: THE SEQUEL [3.0] 16. Anna Karina - cool [2.4] 17. The Eyebright Bugler - good advice [4.0] 18. Wondering Boy Poet - this sounds like cloudgazing music [3.2] 19. Music in My Mind Pt. 1 - a little sample of what you might eat at a jazz restaurant [3.4] 20. JPEGMAFIA TYPE BEAT - YEEEEEE [4.8] 21. Fields, Woods, Time - that was chill [3.0] 22. Where it Ends - this is fine [3.4]
rifkadm 05.13.21	23. Astralni bytsoti - this is pretty [4.5] 24. Elephant Parade - I still have to watch this movie [4.3] 25. Could Cry Just Thinking About You - Iâ€™ve heard this and its ok [3.1] 26. Do the Moo Shoo - food can never fail [4.0] 27. From the Subway Train - this one I wish was longer or maybe itâ€™s perfect this way [4.9] 28. Givenâ€™ My Love To You - cool [2.7] 29. Elizabeth My Dear - second best song on the album [3.2] 30. Spiral - oh yeah itâ€™s mental health awareness month [3.5] 31. COVID-19 - yeah this about sums it up [3.0] 32. The Home Depot Beat - this is the best song this month [5.0] 33. NUTS - good job dude this is fun [3.7]
fogza 05.14.21	14. Where it Ends - I just can't take this stuff seriously, I start giggling when I hear it. Sorry! 1
Divaman 05.14.21	The Secret - A demon vomiting blood and urine while some guys play loud, mostly random, guitars in the background. 1.5
ArsMoriendi 05.14.21	"Where It Ends" ROAR RIFF ROAR RIFF ROAR RIFF. No. 1/5
fogza 05.15.21	15.No Light Escapes - Infinitely better than the previous day, but I still don't like the opening 20 seconds. I'm gonna surprise myself and say the end of the song rips. 3
Divaman 05.15.21	Converge - Geez, another one of these? It's pretty much the same as yesterday's song. So I'll give it the same score. 1.5
Divaman 05.15.21	This month is going to be my lowest average rating ever.
YoYoMancuso 05.15.21	alright time to play catch up 9. Bonehead - brotha WHAT the hell is this 2.0 10. Coffee - not one of Stauber's better ones, but I like some of his others 2.7 11. Generational Divide - ironic title 2.0 12. Fertilizer - good album 3.5 13. Do What You Want - good band 3.5 14. Where It Ends - in less than 60 seconds i presume 1.5 15. No Light Escapes - better than 14 i guess 2.5
nol 05.15.21	Where it ends - more like When Does it End [1.0] No Light Escapes - this is the same track as 14, you canâ€™t fool me [1.5]
Divaman 05.16.21	(chuckle)
porcupinetheater 05.16.21	I'll get to the rest later, but summa y'all acting like Where It Ends doesn't have control over its mood smh 3.5
Dewinged 05.16.21	Damn, sorry, I didn't want any drama, you're free to take it down Ars, I was indeed late with the rec. Don't want it to be a pity jam ;( I'll plug it sometime somewhere else ;)
JohnnyoftheWell 05.16.21	literally how dare you start drama in this thread and then not Face The Consequences ! gonna catch up with this shi later maybe rn
ArsMoriendi 05.16.21	@Dewi: nah it's all good bro, it stays
fogza 05.16.21	16. Anna Karina - Amazing how they covered all the major talking points of Karina's life in 15 seconds. 1
JesperL 05.16.21	ok 12. can't say i care about this, 2.2 13. can't say i care about this a whole lot, 2.9 14. can say i like this better than most of the other stuff bc at least this type of stuff works best in minute-long doses, 3.2 15. can say the above applies except this is a lil better, 3.4 16. yeah okay not this short plz, 2.2 17. might be the youtube compression but jesus this sounds obnoxious, 2.5 18. tfw the wonderwall dude at the campfire party is into deep indie music tm instead of rex orange county, 2.6 19. this was surprisingly nice tbf, 3.5 20. this exists, 2.7 again my apologies idk why but sub 1 min songs turn me into a massive snob or smth
JohnnyoftheWell 05.16.21	"Amazing how they covered all the major talking points of Karina's life in 15 seconds. 1" lmao dead
Pangea 05.16.21	14. Where It Ends - pretty good intense stuff. 3.2 15. No Light Escapes - nice drumming. 3.8 16. Anna Karina - okau i guess. i know short songs are the theme but 25 seconds is very short for songs to do stuff. 2.8
Divaman 05.16.21	Orchid - Much too long. 2
ArsMoriendi 05.16.21	"No Light Escapes" ROAR RIFF ROAR RIFF AAAAAH. Meh. 2/5 "Anna Karina" Worst 14 seconds of my day. 1/5
DadKungFu 05.16.21	Where It Ends - Slams. 3.8 No Light Escapes - Fucks. 4.0 Anna Karina - Best 14 seconds of my day. 4.3
fogza 05.17.21	17. The Eyebright Bugler - Bit of a dilemma, even without hearing the whole list, I'm fairly confident this is the best song per se on here, but Deerhoof's vocals are an automatic fail for me. Hmmm... 3
dedex 05.17.21	13. Do What You Want - yah super cool slapper this one. 3.7 14. Where It Ends - i like violence. 3.9 15. No Light Escapes - i like violence. 4.1 16. Anna Karina - V I O L E N C E. too short tho. 3.5 17. The Eyebright Bugler - cutesy, although the vocals kinda turned me off. 3.1
DadKungFu 05.17.21	Deerhoof - this kind of thing resonates with me about as deeply as eczema 2.4
Divaman 05.17.21	Deerhoof - Wtf is this now, a 50s sitcom? That vocal is just the worst, and the rest just sounds like an incomplete idea. My family is currently abusing me for even listening to it. 2.2
JohnnyoftheWell 05.17.21	Diva and fogza get a free pass from the whack feds, but any of y'all switching from snorting underbaked punkskramz to ragging on Deerhoof vox are the stuff of gold standard memeage
dedex 05.17.21	meme me pls
Pheromone 05.17.21	hi guys i am excited for my song to come up and i am excited to spend one 20 minute session listening to all of these songs
Divaman 05.17.21	In all fairness, though, Johnny, it's not like it's necessarily an either/or situation - people are allowed to hate them both.
fogza 05.18.21	18. Wondering Boy Poet - Should have considered that Pollard would have a strong showing on the micro song front. 3.9
JohnnyoftheWell 05.18.21	"people are allowed to hate them both." you get a free pass for missing the mark both times yes. everyone else has mucky standards ! "umm I love it when vocalists aren't aesthetically pleasant as long as they bring personality and energy to the music WAIT NO NOT LIKE THAT moar skreaming pls"
fogza 05.18.21	"you get a free pass for missing the mark both times yes." That's how I escaped my certain fate...
Divaman 05.18.21	Yeah. Johnny knows he has no chance of brainwashing us into thinking they didn't suck.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.18.21	sir you have multiple Springsteen 5s
fogza 05.18.21	Who doesn't around these parts?
Divaman 05.18.21	By multiple you mean two, and yes, but only because they both absolutely deserved it. Btw, apologies to those of you who rec'd those songs - I don't usually use language like "suck" out loud. I'm good with the concept that beauty is in the ear of the beholder. Or more honestly, I judge everyone's taste by how closely it matches my own, I assume that each of you does the same, and I'm fine with that. (Note that on my own pick this month, there were a lot of questions about THOSE vocals, and I don't even entirely disagree with them -- I like the general style, but if you listen carefully enough, they kind of go out of sync with one another. But I didn't care, because under the limitations of the 1-minute format, it was the best I could come up with at the time.)
fogza 05.18.21	I'm totally psyched and ok with seeing my pick go down in flames. Although I'm gonna be bummed if Sam rates my track lower than 1 again, that was brutal.
Divaman 05.18.21	Yeah, those hurt.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.18.21	"they both absolutely deserved it" okay but you don't rly have a leg to stand on here when it comes to highhorsing unmelodious singers who make a sound their own
Divaman 05.18.21	Sure I do. It depends on whether that sound of their own is bad enough to sterilize monkeys or not. Um, I mean it depends on how closely that sound of their own matches my own taste.
fogza 05.18.21	Melodiousness aside, I guess one could definitely call Bruce too earnest, but Matsuzaki's blank affect alien cuteness is more difficult for me to process
Divaman 05.18.21	I fully own that there are a lot of bands I like whose singers have questionable voices. I kind of like Geddy Lee, but getting there was liking drinking beer - it was an acquired taste. I fully understand why some people hate him. And if you've ever heard Larry Kirwan from Black 47, by any objective standards he's a horrible singer - he makes Springsteen sound like Pavarotti. But I like Black 47, and for me, his voice works for them. So if these guys like the Deerhoof Happy Days vocals and/or the screaming-like-my-genitals-are-on-fire hardcore vocals, I'm fine with that. But if they hate them, I'm fine with that, too.
Divaman 05.18.21	Peppi Marchello of The Good Rats once said, talking about Meat Loaf, "That fat bastard -- he can't sing! He sounds like Pavarotti taking a shit!" I miss Peppi.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.18.21	ok tl;dr Diva would sink all of these vocalists like cheap lager if they fronted classic rock acts with camp organ harmonies
Divaman 05.18.21	Sue me. I like melodic singers and harmonies.
ArsMoriendi 05.18.21	"The Eyebright Bugler" Is this the first song that isn't punk, metal, or a transition/intro. It's fluffy, light, and really pretty. I like how Deehoof can shift from being super weird to being super gorgeous. Good band, good song. 4.5/5 "Wondering Boy Poet" Lo-fi folk. Not bad, but not especially memorable. I definitely don't dislike it. 3/5
dedex 05.18.21	18. Wondering Boy Poet - it's pretty. 3.2
Pangea 05.18.21	17. The Eyebrighter Bugler - god this is obnoxious. the vocals aren't the biggest issue, but liking punk vocals doesn't mean that you have to like every non-standard vocal style Johnny. Very different approaches. 2.2 18. Wondering Boy Poet - it's pretty. 3.2 [2]
JohnnyoftheWell 05.18.21	there are only 3 vocal styles and one of them is spoken word
fogza 05.18.21	are the last two bbq and spicy peri peri?
JohnnyoftheWell 05.18.21	spicy peri peri is a condiment but bbq is one of them. the other is nose
fogza 05.18.21	delicious... and the breath control is sublime
DadKungFu 05.18.21	peri peri on grilled fish is just chef's kiss Wondering Boy Poet - It's good, doesn't really tug at the heartstrings or anything but it's nice 3.4
Divaman 05.18.21	Guided By Voices - Ooo, actual strumming guitar and a British-sounding pop vocal. (I know, they're actually American.) Anyway, one of the better entries. 3.1
fogza 05.19.21	19. Music in My Mind Part 1 - Is this meant to mimic switching radio channels, or the intro check feature on your new stereo? Anyway, inoffensive library of the Jazz Liberatorz's favourite licks, but nary a song to be found. 2.5
Divaman 05.19.21	Oops, wrong thread. Never mind.
Divaman 05.19.21	Jazz Liberatorz - You guys know how I feel about jazz, so this one doesn't exactly have me quivering with excitement. Still, how much damage can they do in under a minute, right? - Yeah, this is just a bunch of soft jazz snippets. It's not painful, like some the entries this month. But it's also not a song. 2.0
fogza 05.20.21	20. JPEGMAFIA TYPE BEAT - I didn't really feel this but it did make me want context, so I listened to the album, and the album is a banger, and now I like this a bit better. I didn't think I'd have a suprise "one new artist I dig from SOTD" this month like last month, but there ya go. Album is a 4, this is a 3.5
dedex 05.20.21	20. JPEGMAFIA TYPE BEAT - hectic shit, until second 39, and then it's an epic win. bet diva will love this. 3.6
Divaman 05.20.21	JPEGMAFIA - A bunch of screaming again. God, I hate this month. Now it's formed itself into a beat. Something vaguely melodic happened near the end there, but way too late. 1.7
dedex 05.20.21	see, I said diva would love it
fogza 05.20.21	you called it dedex
Divaman 05.20.21	Kill me.
fogza 05.20.21	"God, I hate this month." Definitely preferred last month too though, the sub minute rule does seem to encourage a certain type of playlist lol
Pheromone 05.20.21	it does mean that my lazy procastination prone arse can jam through all of these in a swift 30 mins
fogza 05.20.21	and you can pretty much re-use the same comment for about half the songs ðŸ˜
Pheromone 05.20.21	(1) it does mean that my lazy procastination prone arse can jam through all of these in a swift 30 mins - 5/5 (2) it does mean that my lazy procastination prone arse can jam through all of these in a swift 30 mins - 1.5/5
DadKungFu 05.20.21	Jazz Liberators - as per ushe, feels more like an interlude, but it's a nice interlude, inoffensive, but with some hints of personality 3.2 JPEGMAFIA - I don't mind it, it doesn't really do anything for me though or stand out as any kind of coherent piece of music other than as a showpiece for sheer abrasiveness 3.0
fogza 05.21.21	21. Fields, Woods, Time - Interlude time... again. Pretty run through of some chords. 2.8
Divaman 05.21.21	Am I gonna hate it, fogza?
fogza 05.21.21	Nah, I think it's too sweet sounding for ya to hate it. I highly doubt you're gonna love it though
Divaman 05.21.21	OK, I'll take it. Good to know.
Dewinged 05.21.21	Ok Ars, the link I posted is dead now cause of the re-realease with the label, it's supposed to be an unreleased track now so... RIP
Divaman 05.21.21	Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - OK, some nice guitar and strings. This would be a great intro to a song. 2.8
fogza 05.21.21	BOOM! nails his prediction
Divaman 05.21.21	Yeah, that was a good call.
Divaman 05.22.21	The Forms - Ooo, a little bit of alt rock. It's a little at the end disheveled, though. 2.7
DadKungFu 05.23.21	Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - Quite nice, actually, once again feels like an intro, but the elements all come together really well to the point that I don't really mind any sense of incompleteness. Bonus for strings that aren't just cheap hackwork. 3.8
ArsMoriendi 05.23.21	"Music in My Mind Part 1" Jazzy keys, funky bass, so far so good. Okay, now it's constantly changing. Is this an opening track? Regardless, it's not bad at all. 3.3/5 "JPEGMAFIA TYPE BEAT" This is scary and abrasive, but also very original. This probably belongs as a Death Grips headliner or something. I actually was impressed by this. 3.6/5 "Fields, Woods, Time" Pretty and chill so far. I like the strings and effects. This makes a good use of its limited time and feels full. 4/5 "Stel 1." It's from 2003, but has very 90s indie vibes. Kinda generic honestly. 2.7/5 "AstrÃ¡lnÃ Bytosti" This feels pretty whole and is kinda interesting. Amateur vocals and some folky guitars. I think the fact there's 2 acoustic guitars makes it not boring, like there are some layers to it. I don't love it, but it's deff good. 3.5/5
fogza 05.23.21	23. AstrÃ¡lnÃ Bytosti - This feels super clunky. 2.4
DadKungFu 05.23.21	AstrÃ¡lnÃ Bytosti - The big part of the appeal of this is the story behind it, that said the song's got plenty of character on its own and it actually feels like a complete song. 3.7
Divaman 05.23.21	someone's girl (singing the works of Milan Princ) - stark and pretty. Definitely one of the best entries of the month. 3.3
fogza 05.24.21	24. Elephant Parade - pretty, and works well with the scene, but ultimately just a short snippet on its own. 2.5
Divaman 05.24.21	Jon Brion - OK some nice guitars and piano. Oh, it's done. Could be good if they expanded it into an actual song. 2.6
Divaman 05.24.21	noler has asked to host in June. Are we all good with that?
someone 05.24.21	btw AstrÃ¡lnÃ bytosti in Czech means Astral Creatures
someone 05.24.21	"Are we all good with that?" can't think of a single reason why not. unless his theme will be clunky djent
DadKungFu 05.24.21	I'm pretty interested in what noler's going to bring to the table, ep since we seem to have some pretty divergent tastes
fogza 05.25.21	Realised I was pretty rude on the 23rd, apologies to someone who is one of the nicest users on the site.
JohnnyoftheWell 05.25.21	...that's the one day you were rude?
fogza 05.25.21	Well, there's rude, and then there's rude that matters
dedex 05.25.21	21. Fields, Woods, Time - pretty and chill. 3.8 22. Stel 1. - i like dem dynamics. 3.7 23. AstrÃ¡lnÃ Bytosti - it does kinda feel clunky, but at the same times it's got that twee cuteness. 3.2 24. Elephant Parade - wah that was short. 3.0 25. Could Cry Just Thinkin About You - scary :( 3.5
Divaman 05.25.21	OK, Troye Sivan - This seemed like the reprise of a fuller version of the song, although it isn't. I don't know. 2.9
someone 05.25.21	btw with AstrÃ¡lnÃ bytosti, it's my girl and her mum playing the guitars
Divaman 05.25.21	They did a nice job.
dedex 05.26.21	26. Do the Moo Shoo - banger. poignant delivery. eye-opening vocals. 2.2
Divaman 05.26.21	VeggieTales - How sad is it that this was actually one of the better songs of the month? 3.2
ArsMoriendi 05.26.21	"Elephant Parade" Mood setting acoustic guitar and piano. This is kind of nothing, but it's nice so uh. 2.7/5 "Could Cry Just Thinkin About You" Lame weirdly produced Alt. R&B. Nothing more. 2.3/5 "Do the Moo Shoo" A shitpost. 2/5
neekafat 05.27.21	Ya got me
JohnnyoftheWell 05.27.21	check fuga
LeddSledd 05.27.21	check futa
dedex 05.27.21	27. From the Subway Train - a hazey gazey stoner jam. yes. 4.2
Divaman 05.27.21	Vansire - Dreamy intro. Kind of slurry vocal. Feels like it keeps shifting key. I don't know - what's there is OK I guess. But it feels like another idea that just wasn't developed. 2.8
dedex 05.28.21	28. Givin' My Love to You - am sorry but i listen to this while taking my coffee and it's clearly a song designed for drunkenness so amn't ready. cool one tho. 3.0
Divaman 05.28.21	Gong - Restaurant noises. Monty Python vocals. 3.0
nol 05.28.21	noler has asked to host in June. Are we all good with that? yes
nol 05.28.21	still gonna finish this month, wonâ€™t take long lmao
ArsMoriendi 05.28.21	"From the Subway Train" Cool intro. This was pleasant and the ending really tied a nice chill psych bow on it all. 3.7/5 "Givin' My Love to You" Very English. Not much to love or hate here, it just kinda is. The piano's cool though. 3.1/5
Divaman 05.29.21	The Stone Roses - Gentle guitar. Hey, this is a "Scarborough Fair" rip off, with a threat to the Q of E. I guess the joke is on them, as this came out in 1989, and 30+ years later, the old girl is still Queen. Oh yeah, forgot to score it. 3.1.
DadKungFu 05.29.21	The Forms - Might be my favorite "new" song this month. Looking forward to hearing more from this band. 3.9 Elephant Parade - not bad, felt like life insurance commercial music though 2.9 Could Cry Just Thinking About You - pretty, pretty empty, could have its appeal but doesn't resonate with me. 2.6
ArsMoriendi 05.29.21	"Elizabeth My Dear" Very folky and kinda 60s vibe-wise. And it's over already. Cool enough. 3.5/5
SlothcoreSam 05.30.21	14. Where it ends. 4.3. Yes, well indeed. 15. No Light Escapes. 4.5,fuck yes, some early Converge, this is it yo. 16. AnnaKarina, 2.0 this ain't it 17. The Eyebright Bugler. 1.2shiiiit. 18. Wondering boy poet, 3.0, filler via early experiment. 19. Music in my mind. 2.3. Interlude
SlothcoreSam 05.30.21	20. Jpeg. 0.01, I'd rather get my father in law to dental floss my penieye
ArsMoriendi 05.30.21	Lame Deerhoof opinion

Pheromone 05.30.21	the implication of me failing to do this SOTD despite 30 mins of content, I might have to give up on this series

neekafat 05.30.21	Because it's a 0.1
dedex 05.31.21	29. Elizabeth My Dear - hey it's Scarborough Fair! i like it. 3.4 30. Spiral - I never really cared about these guys. 2.9 31.

Pikazilla 05.31.21	johnny literally everything you listen to makes me think of the teletubbies
ArsMoriendi 06.01.21	"Spiral" He's not listing anything, but he has "I like listing things" energy. It's kinda annoying. 2.4/5 "COVID-19" This is just him fucking around haha. The theremin and the accordion together make me think he's trying to troll his fans. I sort of dig the troll vibe. 3.7/5 "The Home Depot Beat" An industrial rock masterpiece, let's be real here. 5/5 "Nuts" Good thing I didn't listen to johnny cuz this isn't available anymore online. ??/5

JohnnyoftheWell 06.01.21	10. Coffee - Jack Stauber's Micropop: almost very cute but actually very annoying please shut up ur not stephen malkmus 2.3 11.
