| PERFECT SONGS 2.. ROUND IV..
(((((((>>>>..>>>)))))))) | 1 | | Dennis Wilson Pacific Ocean Blue
The theme for this round is EXPERIMENTAL POP.. something like this guy | 2 | | Brian Eno Here Come the Warm Jets
or this guy | 3 | | David Bowie Scary Monsters
or even this guy | 4 | | Bjork Vespertine
or this gal still | 5 | | JoJo Abbot Fyfya Woto
or perchance this one..
Don't fuck it up!
oh, and as an added kink, i'll take one more participant who hasn't been eliminated in previous rounds.. | 6 | | Julia Holter Have You In My Wilderness
Lucette Stranded on the Island - Fripp
This song was quite the soundscape.. rich and thick and very very patiently sensuous.. a bit flowery, but on the whole, a grand tune, Frippy old boy.. | 7 | | Miharu Koshi Tutu
Laetitia - hansolo
This was such an 80's affair.. which essentially means, i liked it just as much as I didn't, and maybe for the very same reasons.. interesting pick, and i'll look into her more, but really, an even more maudlin Japanese version of Nightclubbing didn't hit the spot for me.. sorry, my man, you fought the good fight.. ELIMINATED.. | 8 | | Mariah Utakata no Hibi
Sora Ni Mau Maboroshi - plane
Started off rocky, but the shifting tones saved this song and more for me.. Plenty happening here musically, and the vocals were filtered well enough to avoid the bad kind of schmaltz.. see you next round.. | 9 | | Dan Deacon Gliss Riffer
When I Was Done Dying - Uni
A strange mix, Talking Heads and ambient electronica and some odd little noise details tossed in.. the vocals killed it all, making it sound like a pub rock song happening underwater.. sorry, Uni.. no bueno.. ELIMINATED.. | 10 | | Kate Bush The Dreaming
Leave It Open - Ars
I've been slacking on Bush's body of work.. should rectify this soon.. at any rate, this was a pretty damn fantastic intro into her style, at least on this album.. an unsettled atmospheric song, with vox that walk the right side of theatrical.. and that closing act.. damn | 11 | | Celebration The Modern Tribe
Hands Off My Gold - widow
Odd number, and while I did like the shifting pace a lot, it felt clunky more often than not.. It would constantly throw in small tics that worked for me, yet on the whole, I was left a bit wanting.. sorry, love.. ELIMINATED.. | 12 | | Battles Gloss Drop
Ice Cream - shark (not attack)
Electronic indie twee that felt far too reminiscent off too many past better acts (or Beck), and didn't really encompass the experimental side of things, aside from being a little more scattered than the genres it partakes in usually stick to.. sorry, dude.. ELIMINATED.. | |
butcherboy
09.19.18 | hello, apocalyptic remains of the competition.. | Frippertronics
09.19.18 | oh man
not final, but
Todd Rundgren - Zen Archer | butcherboy
09.19.18 | you rec'cing this guy in rec roulette didn't turn out so good, Fripp.. | Frippertronics
09.19.18 | I concede then (though I can't tell if you don't rate the dang thing l m a oooooo) (a 3.5 ain't that bad however)
John Cale - Gun
or an alternative, since I will assume you've heard Gun
Julia Holter - Lucette Stranded On The Island | Papa Universe
09.19.18 | this is a bloodbath. I will destroy you, Fripp!
or, y'know, I won't | butcherboy
09.19.18 | there are no winner 'round here.. | hansoloshotfirst
09.19.18 | oh, fuck no...
Pram - Bewitched
or maybe
Cockney Rebel - Mr. Soft
or John Maus - ...And The Rain
EDIT: OK, I'll be honest I firmly believe Pop isn't real and therefore not a genre of music.
My rec:
Miharu Koshi - Laetitia (from the album Tutu)
(listen to the other recs at your leisure) | widowslaugh123
09.19.18 | Fuck I’m gonna have to think a bit for this one | IronGiant
09.19.18 | Julia Holter - I Shall Love 2 | Papa Universe
09.19.18 | Dan Deacon - When I Was Done Dying

09.19.18 | My ears are cauliflowering in anticipation.. | brainmelter
09.19.18 | alright | Divaman
09.20.18 | The realization that I have actually been eliminated is slowly starting to sink in. I'm so depressed. | ZombieToyDuck
09.20.18 | ah man I woulda had a good one for this | cylinder
09.20.18 | And this is the one I get cut before
Damn | ArsMoriendi
09.20.18 | Experimental pop and Bowie and Bjork count?
Then Kate Bush - Leave It Open should suffice.
AKA my favorite Kate bush song and one of my favorite songs of all time.
