SlothcoreSam: Song Of the Day August: Duets 👥🎤

SlothcoreSam 07.31.22	What's your favourite duet? Rec now for song of the day August. Any genre counts
Divaman 07.31.22	Good theme.
ArsMoriendi 07.31.22	"Clara" by Caetano Veloso (featuring Gal Costa) (album Caetano Veloso [Tropicália]) Two of the most important figures of Tropicalia kick total ass together on the album that named the genre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sokic5yEwUs
Divaman 07.31.22	Paul Kantner and Grace Slick - When I Was a Boy I Watched the Wolves (from the Sunfighter album) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXOe_rbN-nI&list=PLWprWK6AVnu7eSM9NzDkJclQ1KKqjrTdb&index=1 Young Diva used to sing along like a banshee with this one and try to make it a trio.
Divaman 07.31.22	Ooo, looking forward to your pick tomorrow, Sam. I've always liked the Concrete Blonde version, but never heard the duet.
SlothcoreSam 07.31.22	You're in for a treat Diva, Andy has a great voice that compliments the Concrete Blonde's singer, and it's his song.
Divaman 07.31.22	Sweet. I don't know a lot by Wall of Voodoo, but I certainly always liked "Mexican Radio".
bgillesp 08.01.22	Well "Go Your Own Way" is my first thought, but to do one that maybe not every has already heard I'll go with Casualties of Cool- The Code https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Hh8XZKzSAg Space country is the best
Drifter 08.01.22	Alexander O'Neal - Never Knew Love Like This Album: Hearsay Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqbj9PNkfTM If this song doesn't make you smile you have no soul
fogza 08.01.22	Gonna go with Kelis and Andre 3000 - Millionaire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qImH-0UCHI I actually had a hard time thinking of a traditional duet that I love, aside from "Don't give up" which is too much of a classic. Instead I've plumped for this small, unconventional gem.
Vercetti 08.01.22	Within Temptation & Tarja (ex-Nightwish) - Paradise (What About Us?) https://youtu.be/Dy6MpsDPKts from the EP with the same name Two of the most beautiful voices in the symphonic metal genre singing together.
Egarran 08.01.22	I'm thinking sputcore and arrive at: Jeff Buckley & Elizabeth Fraser - All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun https://youtu.be/JnPvnIKCJYA
ReefaJones 08.01.22	Elis Regina & Tom Jobim - Aguas de Março https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1tOV7y94DY
SlothcoreSam 08.01.22	Nice, keep them coming. Will update shortly.
PitchforkArms 08.01.22	Tennessee Ernie Ford + Kay Starr, "I'll Never Be Free" Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's Dream a Little Dream of Me is pretty awesome
Divaman 08.01.22	1. Andy Prieboy - Wow, this is weird. I'm so used to the Concrete Blonde version. You know how when you hear an alternate version of a song first, and that's the one that sticks with you. Feels weird to hear Andy Prieboy sing this. 3.2
Pheromone 08.01.22	carissa's wierd - ignorant piece of shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdl6V5otgoY oh yeah baby
SlothcoreSam 08.01.22	Updates, we are a third of the way through. Still need 20 songs. Who else knows a great duet?
JohnnyoftheWell 08.02.22	o we have carissa's wierd nice good pick, but i will beat it with the best song ever written i pick carissa's wierd - drunk w/ the only saints i know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfu7P15uTLY
fogza 08.02.22	1. Andy Prieboy: Tomorrow Wendy - I would never have guessed Sam would pick a power ballad, complete with some finger tapping at the end. Anyway, it's gorgeous. 4
fogza 08.02.22	2. Caetano Veloso: Clara - Bit of a nothing song but it's ok I guess. 2.9
Vercetti 08.02.22	1. Tomorrow Wendy - the lyrics are what makes this song. 4.0 2. Clara - Nothing for me here. 2.0
Egarran 08.02.22	I see Carissa's Wierd is a meme now
SlothcoreSam 08.02.22	2. Clara. 3.7 That was very pleasing to the ear, the dude on the cover looks like Ars, or what I think Ars looks like.
Divaman 08.02.22	2. Caetano Veloso - Think I'm not much of a Tropacalia fan. 2.3
SlothcoreSam 08.02.22	I don't know any other Tropicalia music.
anat 08.02.22	https://youtu.be/XpDbwHbQ_Ak Future Islands - Shadows (feat Debbie Harry) from The Far Field Just an unexpected feature from Blondie herself, in an apt song of old flames. Includes one of my favourite lyrics ever: “is it the bee sting that honey haunts you?”
ArsMoriendi 08.02.22	You might like it Sam If you check the album def tell me so haha
Shemson 08.02.22	Came here to submit Bones from Casualties of Cool, too slow!
SlothcoreSam 08.02.22	2nd next option Shemson.
Koris 08.03.22	Oceans of Slumber - No Color, No Light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRgxiviVk88 Beautiful doom metal duet between frontwoman Cammie Gilbert and Evergrey singer Tom Englund. Slow, hypnotic, and devastating \m/
fogza 08.03.22	3. Paul Kantner and Grace Slick: When I Was a Boy I Watched the Wolves - based on the album cover and the parties involved, I was pretty predisposed to find this laughable. But yeah, it's actually not bad. 3.5
anat 08.03.22	gonna do my best to keep up with it this month 1. tomorrow wendy - RIP wendy 3.0 2. clara - 3.5 3. when i was a boy i watched the wolves - i like duets to have a bit more in the way of interplay 2.5
Egarran 08.03.22	Tomorrow Wendy - Damn that 80's sound and fadeout. I'm appalled. 2.8 Clara - I had a very strong suspicion that I would not appreciate Tropicalia and it turned out to be correct. Is it me or is it off-key several times? Lovely length. 2.5 When I was a boy I watched the wolves - I love these people. Some of the best Americans ever made. Song is improved by the image of young diva screaming along. 3.5
SlothcoreSam 08.03.22	3. when i was a boy i watched the Wolves. 3.5. If it wasn't for the lyrics, this would be a 4.5. Sounds like something a primary school kid works write. Music is pretty special here and vocals work.
Vercetti 08.03.22	3. When I Was a Boy I Watched the Wolves - Yeah, old school psychedelic rock. 3.5 just noticed that the link leads to a youtube playlist entitled "Future SOTD Picks". Very interesting.
SlothcoreSam 08.03.22	Got em!
Pangea 08.03.22	Nice theme Sam! The Knife - Marble House (featuring Jay-Jay Johanson) From Silent Shout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtEE_voXndY
Pangea 08.03.22	This is already the third time Aguas de Março has been rec'd in sotd btw
Divaman 08.03.22	>Sounds like something a primary school kid works write. Music is pretty special here and vocals work. Why do you think little Diva loved it so much? Damn Vercetti. Sam, can you put up a different link please. Sorry about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXOe_rbN-nI
Egarran 08.03.22	TIL Marble House is a duet. Sweet song.
Divaman 08.03.22	Say, can someone fix the worksheet? The averages aren't working.
fogza 08.04.22	4. Casualties of cool: The Code - I like the bits Dorval sings, the rest is fine but doesn't set my world on fire. Needs a bit more punch, and to be tightened up. Not bad though 3.4
SlothcoreSam 08.04.22	Fixed young Diva
Vercetti 08.04.22	"Say, can someone fix the worksheet? The averages aren't working." I edited it. btw: did anyone notice that in the worksheet for july the columns "Vote count" and "Std. Dev." completely ignored ArsMoriendi? The averages column didn't though.
Koris 08.04.22	1. Andy Prieboy - Tomorrow Wendy: Huh, interesting. I do know about Andy's stint in Wall of Voodoo, but I didn't know he had an entire solo career outside of that... especially since Stan Ridgeway is the more widely recognized WoV frontman. Anyway, this is quite good! Nice harmonies between the two singers, as well as a distinctly melancholic feel (which makes sense, given the subject matter). Lovely ballad for sure. 3.8 2. Caetano Veloso - Clara: Damn, what a tonal shift from the last one, lol. Anyway, this is ok... I'm not familiar with the artist, but I hear elements of bossa nova, psychedelia, and even some hints of 60s exotica. Pretty nice combination, though I wish the song was a bit longer so its ideas could be fleshed out more. 3.0 I'll get to the other two in a bit :]
Vercetti 08.04.22	4. The Code - I could see this as a soundtrack to something. 3.5
Trifolium 08.04.22	Oooooh 7, nice pick! Mine is: Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong - Summertime (from Porgy and Bess) https://youtu.be/xHAfhPrrKHA A perfect song, a fantastic rendition! Their voices have always been a match made in heaven.
Divaman 08.04.22	4. Casualties of Cool - slow chunky guitar. Average vocals. Pretty average overall for me, except when Che gets a little expressive. 2.6
fogza 08.05.22	5. Alexander O'Neal: Never Knew Love Like This - I had a listen to this album a while back and I just don't get the magic from it. I feel like this song enters the ad lib phase early and never leaves. A little too slick and of the time for me. 2.9
Divaman 08.05.22	5. Alexander O'Neal - Smooth r&b pop. Not my usual thing, but certainly not bad. 3.0
Pangea 08.05.22	Made a spotify playlist again: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6kbYgNhhg1ie3R08IrTJAJ?si=163dfd828ffd4b5c misses the jeff buckley song though
Divaman 08.05.22	What a good man.
Vercetti 08.06.22	5. Never Knew Love Like This - I'm just not into R&B. 2.5 6. Millionaire - Always nice to hear Andre 3000 on anything. Great guy. 3.5
Divaman 08.07.22	6. Kellis - Surprisingly fast and synth. I was expecting r&b. OK. 2.8
fogza 08.07.22	7. Within temptation: Paradise (What About Us?) - The video alone is worth the price of admission, with its half baked dystopian backdrop and the carefully placed smudges on the band. Hokey, hilarious, and mistakenly epic. 2.7
Drifter 08.07.22	is the jeff not on grace legacy edition? thought thats what it was from edit: wait nvm was thinking of the one with shudder to think
Egarran 08.07.22	It's a privilege to get these glimpses into your mind.
fogza 08.08.22	8. Jeff B and Elizabeth F: All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun - Lovely, but feels a little unfinished. 3.7
SlothcoreSam 08.09.22	OK I am back from the wilderness, time to update.
SlothcoreSam 08.09.22	4. The Code. 3.5. This was not what I was expecting. It's quite chill and dreamy, gonna have to check the album. 5. Never knew love like this. 2.8 80s represent. They work well together, and production is tight. Not really my thing though. 6. Millionaire. 3.0 I like Andre, song is a little repetitive to start, but branches out nicely. 7. Paradise. 2.8 Sounds like anthemic orchestral gothic Euro Metal. I would dig this live, but across a bit overproduced and insincere. 8. All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun. 3. Always good to hear a different JB song, even if it was not finished. Had a lot of potential.
fogza 08.09.22	9. Elis R / Antonio J: Aguas de Março - Just the right side of cute easy listening, hard not to smile at this one. 3.7
Divaman 08.10.22	7. Within Temptation - Not my favorite song, but I like these guys and I like the style. 3.3 8. Jeff Buckley - Nice strummed guitar intro. Female and male vocals. Slow to mid-speed. A little overlong, but pretty nice. 3.3 9. Elis Regina & Antonio Carlos Jobim - Slow acoustic guitar, female and male vocals in Spanish. Feel like I've heard this one before. 3.3
Vercetti 08.10.22	8, 9 & 10 - I put the three together because I don't think I'm the target audience for any of them. That's why I don't see myself in the position to commet on these songs. But I also feel obligated to give away ratings. Therefore I give all 3 songs the average rating of 2.5.
Egarran 08.10.22	Aw you're underselling yourself. You are exactly in the position to comment on these songs.
fogza 08.10.22	10. Tennessee Ernie Ford: I'll Never Be Free - Fairly good hammock music. 3.3
Egarran 08.10.22	4. The Code - Very pleasant and a bit Lynchian. 3.6 5. Never Knew Love Like This - Uh oh 1987 is famous for terrible RnB. Yep here come those keyboard notes that smell like cheap deodorant. This observation made me smile a little, does that count? lol saxophone solo too, here's a very generous 2.5 6. Millionaire - Don't like the music, esp hate the drum sound - but her voice is hottt. 2.8
Divaman 08.10.22	10. Tennessee Ernie Ford - Not my style, but I respect it. 2.5
fogza 08.11.22	11. Carissa's Wierd: Ignorant piece of shit - Sounds all the world like a Modest Mouse b side, but it's nice enough. 3.5
JohnnyoftheWell 08.11.22	good morning shit take
Koris 08.11.22	3. Paul Katner and Grace Slick - When I Was a Boy I Watched the Wolves: I love the combination of acoustic and electric guitars in the intro. Nice chemistry between Slick and Katner vocally as well, making for an enjoyable folk rock number. 3.7 4. Casualties of Cool - The Code: Hey, I know this one! Smooth country-oriented tune with a slightly haunting tone to it; as much as I enjoy Devy's metal records, the albums in which he goes for a softer approach are always my favorites. 4.0
Divaman 08.11.22	11. Carissa's Wierd - Nice acoustic opening. Slightly mumbled vocals. Nice, but not riveting. 3.1
fogza 08.11.22	"good morning shit take" but at least it is a take hmmmmmm? i'm not mad i'm just disappointed
fogza 08.12.22	12. Carissa's wierd: drunk w/ the only saints i know - More pleasant indie. 3.5
Divaman 08.12.22	12. Carissa's Weird - Gentle acoustic strumming. Mumbly-but-melodic vocals. 3.4
Divaman 08.13.22	13. Future Islands - Pleasant indie-pop opening with melodramatic male vocals and a Deborah Harry guest vocal. Simple, but effective. 3.7
Vercetti 08.14.22	„Aw you're underselling yourself. You are exactly in the position to comment on these songs.“ okay, okay. Here are my comments for 8 - 10. Don’t expect much, my ratings are the same: 8. All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun – The vocals are kinda nice. I do like the “Aaaah”, but the acoustic guitar just doesn’t give me anything. 2.5 9. Aguas de Março – They seem to have fun singing this together. That’s nice. Otherwise this reminds me of elevator music. 2.5 10. I’ll Never Be Free – This sounds very American. Not really my thing. 2.5 And while I’m at it here are 11 – 14: 11. Ignorant Piece Of Shit – I don’t know. It’s not really bad, but I could fall asleep listening to it. Maybe I’m not in the right mood to enjoy this right now. 2.5 12. Drunk w/ The Only Saints I Know – Two times Carissa’s Weird in a row? I guess if the previous song made me sleepy, than this made me dreamy. Which I see as a positive. So here’s a slightly higher rating: 3.0 13. Shadows – Don’t need to be in a certain mood if the song puts you in the mood. Nice performances by the two singers. 3.0 14. No Color, No Light – Oceans of Slumber break my streak of mediocre/okay ratings. Great atmospheric track. Love Cammie. 4.0
ReefaJones 08.14.22	" Elis Regina & Antonio Carlos Jobim - Slow acoustic guitar, female and male vocals in Spanish." brazilian portuguese my brother. They sound nothing alike lmao
Pangea 08.14.22	Will catch up soon now i'm back on NL!
SlothcoreSam 08.14.22	Updating today! I've been sick all week, but as it's not Covid, I'm back at work, still sick as fuck. Anyways, let's do 2nd recs to fill this month up. I'm gonna go with something more obscure. Rainstorm Brother featuring Maddison Cunningham- Mountain Heart
Divaman 08.14.22	2nd pick My Favorite - Working Class Jacket from Love at Absolute Zero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYh_lQoLLzQ Mixes the vocals of Michael Grace Jr. and the lovely Andrea Vaughn
Divaman 08.14.22	Ah, sorry Reefa. I sometimes have a hard time telling Spanish and Portuguese apart.
Divaman 08.14.22	14. Oceans of Slumber - Quiet, slow guitar intro with keyboard underneath. Haunting female vocal followed by romantic male vocal. Picks up in intensity as the song goes on. 3.1
SlothcoreSam 08.15.22	9. Aguas de Marco- 3.5, I'm sure I've heard this before too, but good to hear again very pleasing to the ears. 10. I'll never be free. 3.2. Old timers music always reminds me of Christmas, and it ain't Christmas yet, so stop teasing me. 11. Ignorance Piece of shit. 3.8 Slowcore is kinda like slothcore, I like this, but kinda want it to get screamy and heavier. But then it would be emo. What's with the 2 minute long silent Outro, time to reflect I guess 12. Drunk with the only saints I know. 4.1 Getting ready for next month's theme, "Bands describing females". Two in a row, this one's a little older, and a little less produced, which doesn't really matter for this genre. It kinda sounds like 2 songs in 1,but works. 13. Shadows. 3.0. Good indie synthpop, Deborah Harry sounds old. They compliment each other well, shame the songs a bit boring. 14. No Color, No Light. 3.6. Nice artwork accompanying the music, vocalists are good. it feels to me of a modern day Meatloaf. 15. Marble House. 3.7, unusual to hear another vocalist with The Knife, Karin's voice is so unique.
SlothcoreSam 08.15.22	Site won't let me update the list atm. Keep them 2nd recs coming. Or anyone can rec a duet they want us to hear. The more the merrier.
Divaman 08.15.22	15. The Knife - A bunch of clicking and some synth. Kind of perdy intro. Kind of weird female vocal. Nice overall, though. Now a male vocal joins in. 3.6
Vercetti 08.16.22	2nd rec: Limp Bizkit feat. Jonathan Davis (Korn) - Nobody Like You (from Significant Other) https://youtu.be/Li2FlovMwfQ Hate it if you want to, but I like Nu Metal. Having Jonathan Davis on a Limp Bizkit tune is something very cool to me.
SlothcoreSam 08.16.22	Nice one Vercetti, that was huge back in the day. More recs! Keep them coming
Pangea 08.16.22	Say Lou Lou - Fool of Me (featuring Chat Faker) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEAu0DooDOc (From Julian)
Egarran 08.16.22	7. Paradise (What About Us?) - I'm always surprised by how popular this band is. 100m views?!? Fine song, nothing special. Very Eurovision-ish. 3.2/5 9. Aguas de Março - Oh it's that song, I know that. Nice vibes. 3.5/5 10. I'll Never Be Free - I thought I would like this but I didn't, really. 2.5/5 11. Ignorant Piece of Shit - Everything here sounds lazy. And not necessarily in a good way. 3/5 12. Drunk w/ the Only Saints I Know - Myeah I just don't think I like this band. 2.7/5
SlothcoreSam 08.16.22	Still can't update the list, is that function down? Give us a second rec ég!
Divaman 08.16.22	16. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong - Soft, slow, slightly strident instrumental opening of strings and brass, followed by Ella's vocal. Then my old neighbor Louie takes the 2nd verse. Ella sings the third, while Louie backs her up. Smooth. 4.2
Egarran 08.16.22	2. rec is the whitest boomer shit you will ever see. Rossini - The Cats' Duet - Felicity Lott and Ann Murray: https://youtu.be/fqxyfEb1Bb0
Vercetti 08.16.22	"Still can't update the list, is that function down?" Something's not working. Did you notice that there weren't any new lists for 2 days?
SlothcoreSam 08.16.22	Hopefully it is up by Thursday, I'm going bush again. Who else wants to give us a song. The theme is duets
Divaman 08.17.22	17. Rainstorm Brother - Percussion and a but of guitar, followed by strange (and strangely recorded) male vocal. Female vocal starts out a little low, then gets all muffley. I've heard worse, but this isn't really for me. 2.8
Pangea 08.17.22	1. Tomorrow Wendy - pretty good power ballad, if little unremarkable. 3.2 2. Clara - cute little song! 3.8 3. When I Was a Boy I Watched the Wolves - fun song, i can appreciate the energy. The chorus is maybe a tad weak though. 3.2 4. The Code - great project! relistened to the album earlier today. Nice bassy plucks on here. 4.0 5. Never Knew Love Like This - holy cheese. 2.0 6. Millionaire - This is pretty cool, great beat. 3.7 7. Paradise (What About Us) - i remember this from back then, to be a teenager again. This is super corny in retrospect. 2.7
SlothcoreSam 08.17.22	16. Summertime. 3.0 Sloooooooow it down. Now this is slothcore. Louis is actually my dad.
SlothcoreSam 08.17.22	And since I can't update the list. 18. Diva My Favorite - Working Class Jacket from Love at Absolute Zero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYh_lQoLLzQ 19. Vercetti Limp Bizkit feat. Jonathan Davis (Korn) - Nobody Like You (from Significant Other) https://youtu.be/Li2FlovMwfQ 20. Pangea Say Lou Lou - Fool of Me (featuring Chat Faker) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEAu0DooDOc (From Julian) 21. Eg Rossini - The Cats' Duet - Felicity Lott and Ann Murray: https://youtu.be/fqxyfEb1Bb0. 22.Johnny broken social scene - almost crimes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BupOkSSSpzw 23.Neeka The Smashing Pumpkins - …Said Sadly (from The Aeroplane Flies High) https://youtu.be/E6QqkBErIW 24.Arse "Cotton Crown" by Sonic Youth (from Sister) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUjUSUGAzGA 25. Fog Tears for Fears and Woman in Chains. https://youtu.be/O5-c79LQ3aM 26.diva Chvrches and Robert Smith - How Not to Drown from Chvrches LP Screen Violence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U_LhzgwJ4U 27. Sloth. PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke. This Mess We're In https://youtu.be/BTrGowDPjBk 28.neeka “Blood of Eden” - Peter Gabriel (from Us) https://youtu.be/UVA0iQZQJ9g 29. 30. 31. 3 more duets needed.
SlothcoreSam 08.17.22	I wanna be a groundskeeper with my best friend racoooooon.
neekafat 08.17.22	The Smashing Pumpkins - …Said Sadly (from The Aeroplane Flies High) https://youtu.be/E6QqkBErIWs …I guess I don’t like that many duets
SlothcoreSam 08.17.22	Nice one neeka, haven't heard that in ages! I wanna be a groundskeeper with my best friend racoooooon
ArsMoriendi 08.18.22	2nd recs eh? This theme is hard but hmmm "Cotton Crown" by Sonic Youth (from Sister) Kim and Thurston sing together every line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUjUSUGAzGA
Divaman 08.19.22	19. Limp Bizkit (featuring Jonathan Davis of Korn) - Seems like a natural pairing. Heavy guitar. Never been a Limp Bizkit fan, but I do sometimes like Korn. Seems fairly tame so far. Kind of thought I'd like this more than I do. 2.8
fogza 08.20.22	Will have to catch up at some point but life has been crazy. As a 2nd rec I'd go with Tears for Fears and Woman in Chains. https://youtu.be/O5-c79LQ3aM
fogza 08.20.22	13. Future Islands: Shadows - FI can sound a bit samey, but the song templates are usually good. This is no exception, but probably one of the more par songs on what is an excellent album. 3.7
fogza 08.20.22	14. Oceans of Slumber: No color no light - Not normally my scene AT ALL, but I really like the break in the middle that just becomes extended space. It's a bit corny but good corn. Like the kernels are really plump and yellow. 3.7
fogza 08.20.22	15. The Knife: Marble House - I've always found Silent Shout a very front loaded album, like the first 5 are killer, and then for the rest results may vary. I just don't like the verse on this song, and parts of it sound like bad a-ha. I prefer when they did this sound on deep cuts. 2.8
fogza 08.20.22	16. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong: Summertime - One of those songs I've heard so many times by so many different people. Unfortunately once you pick your favourite, it's hard to hear it any other way. Still, good. 3
fogza 08.20.22	17. Rainstorm Brother: Mountain Heart - Has a faintly Bond theme vibe. It's an enjoyable track. 3.5
Divaman 08.20.22	20. Say Lou Lou feat. Chet Faker - Quiet intro. Female vocals on verse 1, followed by male vocals (presumably Chet Faker) on verse 2. Nice mellow stuff. 3.4
fogza 08.20.22	18. My Favorite: Working Class Jacket - Poignant little song, clearly they listen to lots of the Smiths but unlike the Smiths, this didn't irritate or bore me. 3.5
fogza 08.20.22	19. Limp Bizkit: Nobody like you - It's no secret that I loathe LB and think they're the worst band of the 90's. Davis is partly to blame for unleashing them on the world, and I don't like his melodramatic schtick either. This isn't even catchy in the dunderheaded way they usually are, really boring and a total drag. 1
fogza 08.20.22	20. Say Lou Lou: Fool of Me - I'm a sucker for this type of cool midnight dream pop at the mo. Even so, probably needs a few stronger moments but hits the spot in a familiar way 3.5
fogza 08.20.22	21. Felicity Lott and Ann Murray: The Cats' Duet - Oh how everyone at the proms must have tittered and guffawed at this performance. I guess I'm just a Grinch because this isn't funny or fun. 1.5
SlothcoreSam 08.21.22	Still can't edit lists, so I updated the comment with future songs. 6 tracks left.
Vercetti 08.21.22	15. Marble House – Didn’t expect this to be so interesting. It’s one of those easy-to-daydream-to-songs. At least to me it is. 4.5 16. Summertime – Yeah, that deep voice definitely has something. But the song sounds boring to me (maybe I listen to too much rock & metal). Nothing against the song. It’s just not for me. 3.0 17. Mountain Heart – That is a unique sound. 3.0 18. Working Class Jacket – This has more energy than a lot of songs from this list. I also like the addition of the female vocalist - beautiful voice. 3.5
Divaman 08.21.22	21. Felicity Lott and Ann Murray - Amusing. 3.0
Divaman 08.22.22	22. Broken Social Scene - Energetic percussion. Male & female vocals. Melodic song with some strident sound effects. 3.3
fogza 08.22.22	22. broken social scene: almost crimes - shambolic the roof tiles are falling off drew and feist don't trade in choruses but near choruses it's decay and twinkle and cheap synthesizer and rubber legs. 4.2
SlothcoreSam 08.23.22	18. Working Class Jacket. 3.8 Has a late 80s alternate vibe. Never heard of these guys before, it's a good track. 19. Nobody Like You. 2.5 Have not listened to this album since the year it came out. Instantly recognisable, Fred had the most punchable vocal chords. Jonathan on the other hand has a great voice. There is a problem with this song however and it's the 3rd vocalist, Scott Weiland from STP, he's the best thing on this, if Fred fucked off and let Johnny and Scott take control then this would be a 5. But it's not a duet. So minus 2.5. 20. Fool of me. 1.3 Not a fan of Chet Faker's music, but his voice is ok, don't know Say Lou Lou. It's more quiet slow indie pop. I'm over this style of music, boring. 21. Cats. 0.1. What the fuck is this clip. Is this a pisstake, fuck off you rich British cunts. 22. Almost Crimes. 3.8, some chaotic indy, I like how this song keeps you intrigued throughout. Is someone pregnant, that was a bad sax crime. 23. Said sadly. 3.5 Country Pumpkins, slow build up but good song.
SlothcoreSam 08.23.22	Ok, let's finish this month off. Quick fire recs, we need 5 more. Anyone can rec again.
Divaman 08.23.22	23. Smashing Pumpkins - strummed guitar and Billy Corgan, followed by female vocal (D'Arcy?). Kinda purdy. Billy is less whiny than usual here. 3.4
Divaman 08.23.22	3rd rec Chvrches and Robert Smith - How Not to Drown from Chvrches LP Screen Violence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U_LhzgwJ4U
SlothcoreSam 08.23.22	Going to bring out the big guns. PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke. This Mess We're In https://youtu.be/BTrGowDPjBk
neekafat 08.23.22	Diva its not Billy it’s their other guitarist's song
neekafat 08.23.22	“Blood of Eden” - Peter Gabriel (from Us) https://youtu.be/UVA0iQZQJ9g
SlothcoreSam 08.23.22	Going quick, 3 spots left.
Divaman 08.23.22	Guess that's why he's not so whiny.
SlothcoreSam 08.24.22	List updated for albums. Scores updated later today. 3 spots left for duets.
ArsMoriendi 08.24.22	It’s not D’Arcy, it’s the girl from Veruca Salt
Egarran 08.24.22	Shadows - I bet Johnny would call this post-punk. The music is almost good but I don't like this guy's voice. 2.9/5 No Color, No Light - Don't think I've ever heard a doom duet before. It's very nice and very cheesy. 3.5/5 Marble House - Love this song and album. Such a unique atmosphere. 4.5/5
Divaman 08.25.22	>It’s not D’Arcy, it’s the girl from Veruca Salt That's an interesting pairing. Anyway, good song.
Divaman 08.25.22	24. Sonic Youth - Never been a big fan of this band. Fuzzy, echoey opening with two vocals. Pretty repetitive early on. Hope there's a bit of variation. Ah, there we go. Not the worst. 2.9
Divaman 08.25.22	25. Tears for Fears - Slow funky bass, followed by guitar and synth. Quiet vocal followed by a higher vocal. I remember this one. 3.3
fogza 08.26.22	23. Smashing pumpkins: Said Sadly - It's an interesting vocal from Billy but dropping all his annoying but trademark tics kinda puts it in a vanilla place. This is a long-winded way of saying the song is a bit boring. 2.9
fogza 08.26.22	24. Sonic Youth: Cotton crown - I like the idea of SY more than I like SY. That being said, the instrumental parts of this hit the spot and the vocals don't detract from it. 3.6
fogza 08.26.22	26. CHVRCHES: How to Drown - One of the middest bands ever ropes in old Bob to be present (and not much else) on one of the middest songs ever. 2.5
fogza 08.26.22	3rd rec, if needed: Ismael Lo and Marianne Faithful - Without blame https://youtu.be/hfehKorG_Qs
Asdfp277 08.26.22	my rec! glee cast - one less bell to answer / a house is not a home (glee cast version) https://youtu.be/1BM9F5nBbPE lol
Divaman 08.27.22	27. PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke - Strummed guitar. Thom Yorke starts off. Ends with a weird note as Polly Jean comes in. Later on, he sings and she talks. PJ ruins everything. 2.7
Vercetti 08.28.22	20. Fool of Me – I first thought there is something wrong with my speakers because of the quiet intro. Then it turned out this is a nice dreamy pop song. 3.5 21. The Cats' Duet – What the…?! Didn’t expect something like this. Well, I don’t speak cat, so I don’t know what the lyrics are about. Everyone in the audience seems to have a good time. Reminded me a bit of the beginning from this classic: https://youtu.be/hAoe7QdZ3ao 2.0 22. Almost Crimes – I like the video a lot. The music is also good. 3.5
fogza 08.28.22	27. PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke: This Mess We're In - Always thought this was an interesting detour for Thom, to get involved in something a little more grounded and earthy. Great song and performances. PJ improves everything. 4
fogza 08.28.22	28. Peter Gabriel: Blood of Eden - This song would make my desert island discs or whatever you'd call it. Just on another level of beauty. The only reason I'm not 6'ing it is because I feel Sinead plays more of a supporting role, so I don't know if I classify this as a duet. 4.7
SlothcoreSam 08.28.22	Month is full, now to listen to them all.
Divaman 08.29.22	28. Peter Gabriel - Slow synth and softly strummed guitar. Nice vocal by Gabriel w/harmony by a very underplayed Sinead. 3.5
SlothcoreSam 08.29.22	I know your want to listen to 19 jahonie
fogza 08.29.22	29. Slowdive: Machine gun - Probably an album I should reassess, the big spine tingling downstrokes on the chorus are particularly beautiful. 3.9
Asdfp277 08.29.22	submitted artwork for 17 !
SlothcoreSam 08.29.22	Sweet, thanks Asdfp277, if that's your real name
Egarran 08.29.22	16. Summertime: Yeah it's a classic. Damn that woman can sing. 4 17. Mountain Heart: Kinda boring track - and that piano really drags things down - but I like her voice. 3.2 18. Working Class Jacket: Wait is this more post-punk?? Too bri'is innit 2.8 19. Nobody Like You: I guess this riffs and what have you, but it sounds completely soulless. 2.5
Divaman 08.29.22	29. Slowdive - Slow synth intro. Female vocal w/harmony. 3.6
Divaman 08.30.22	30. Ismael Lo and Marianne Faithful - Slowly strummed guitar and vocals. Pretty nice. 3.4
SlothcoreSam 08.31.22	24. Cotton Crown. 3.2. Messy and noisy. I'm not a fan of the vocals, but musically it's good. 25. Woman in chains. 1.5 Slow start, 1 minute of nothing, boring, don't like it. 26. How not to down. 2.5 That voice is so 2013 for me, can't do it anymore. R. Smith is the hero here. 27. Sodium 28. Us. 0.5. I hate Peter Gabriel, but I'll give it a listen, terrible decision, should have skipped it and done anything else with my ears. 29. Machine Gun. 3. Decent 90s shoegaze 30. Without Blame. 2.7. Had potential, but too boring. 31. One less bell to answer/a house... 0.6 Just sounds like they are singing 2 different songs, stupid. Month done, that was fucking painful. Someone pick an upbeat fun topic next month.
fogza 08.31.22	31. Glee cast: One less bell to answer / a house is not a home - Lolz. Hard for me to be objective about Glee since I despise the show and the tired proliferation of flash mob scenes in TV. It's probably a 2.5 but I'm gonna 2 it.
Asdfp277 08.31.22	sorry, i had to bring glee !
Pangea 08.31.22	8. All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun - nice if maybe slightly unnoteworthy. 3.2 9. Aguas de Março - third time this got recd in sotd haha, third times the charm i guess! lovely song. 3.8 10. I'll Never Be Free - this is cute. 3.3 11. Ignorant Piece of Shit - i like the strings but everything else is pretty boring. 2.8 12. Drunk - mom! Carissa's mumbling again. it's wierd. 2.5 13. Shadows - Dope, i like the bassline. Vocals are kinda uninteresting though. 3.3 14. No Color, No Light - like the crushing heavyness here, great vocals too. 3.8 16 Summertime - classy stuff, love their voices! 4.0
Pangea 08.31.22	it's been a chaotic month but i will catch up for the rest today and i plan to be more present during next month
fogza 08.31.22	"sorry, i had to bring glee !" apology sort of accepted
Pangea 08.31.22	Do we have a host for next month and if not is anyone up for it? I already recently hosted but i can come in for emergency
Pangea 08.31.22	17. Mountain Heart - mhmm love the production here. the vocal is peculiar, but it works. 4.2 18. Working Class Jacket - good stuff, i like the energy and the female vocals are very pretty. 3.8 19. Nobody Like You - i was hoping this at least would be dumb fun, but it's really boring. 2.2 21. Duetto buffo di due gatti - oh god al those obnoxious meows and laughter. is this a fever dream? 1.0 22. Almost Crimes - feels like a song that i should really like, but something about it is not quite clicking. I think the hook is not quite it. 3.0 23. ... Said Sadly - nice song, but it does kinda pass me by. 3.2 24. Cotton Crown - sorry sonic youth but adding guitar feedback to a boring song doesn't make it not boring. 2.5 25. Woman In Chains - i love tears for fears, great song. 4.0 26. How to Drown - i really like the first two chvruches albums but i don't get the appeal of this one at all. this is one of the better songs and it's not very good. the chorus is pretty awkward. 2.7
Pangea 08.31.22	27. The Mess We're In - i can relate to the song title rn. anyway great song! their voices go great together and guitar line is great too. 4.2 28. Blood of Eden - don't like the crying tone. Vocals in general are kinda over the top. The music is nice though. 3.0 29. Machine Gun - Ah yes souvlaki, all vibes and uh nothing else. At least it's pretty. 2.8 30. Without Blame - lovely song! nice guitar strumming and harmonica. 4.0 31. Glee song - you know what, i can kinda fuck with glee. They do over do the vocals here. 3.0
SlothcoreSam 08.31.22	Nice score on Mountain Heart. Is a great EP, you should check.
SlothcoreSam 08.31.22	Looks like it's going to be either The Knife, or Broken Social Scene for the win. Who wants to host next month?
Pangea 09.01.22	will check! don't believe anyone has claimed it so i will make a thread now
Pangea 09.01.22	wait wait i might win that's a first lol
Vercetti 09.03.22	Okay, I feel like I missed the deadline. Let’s give the remaining songs my ratings to complete my column on the spreadsheet and hope that I’ll be more enthusiastic during the new SOTD 23. Said Sadly – 3.0 24. Cotton Crown – 3.0 25. Woman in Chains – 3.5 26. How Not to Drown – 3.5 27. This Mess We’re In – I actually really like this one. Especially when the woman starts talking 4.0 28. Blood of Eden – If you play it faster (1.5x) the drums sound much better 2.5 29. Machine Gun – 2.5 30. Without Blame – 3.0 31. One Less Bell To Answer / A House Is Not A Home – 3.0
Pangea 09.03.22	That's okay Verc, i am late sometimes too. Thank you for finishing!
Pangea 09.06.22	Okay i don't think anyone is still catching up at this point so let me call this
SlothcoreSam 09.06.22	Yeah, month is done and the winner is... The Knife - "Marble Shout" + Jay-Jay Johanson (Pangea)
Egarran 09.06.22	Dammit I guess I'll have to skip the last ratings then sry to all my fans
Pangea 09.06.22	No Egarran please!
Pangea 09.06.22	just dont strip away my win plz
Egarran 09.06.22	Sweet, I can accomplish that by not rating more albums
