JohnnyoftheWell 01.31.22	be grateful this is the shortest month SPREADSHEET: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yo9Aj7t1IZwG41xFgX9kzIugIsVckENq5RnQace1WDw/edit?usp=sharing
Pheromone 01.31.22	can i book 5, i have inspiration
JohnnyoftheWell 01.31.22	ok, i've got you pegged for 5
Pheromone 01.31.22	peg me for 5
JohnnyoftheWell 01.31.22	daaa nanana nana nana CATBOIS!
someone 01.31.22	was very happy about the theme and then i actually read the description. it's just another romance schlack that's it, we're breaking up Johnny! here's a song for you that played during our final spanking session: Holy Ghost! - Jam for Jerry (read: Johnny) https://youtu.be/ZGZLyls1hK8
Egarran 01.31.22	>Capisci? Just barely.
Pheromone 01.31.22	Seam - Dust and Turpentine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feQ1pcepsTQ The best night of my life was three years ago today. It was a bright night; the moon was full. This I remember as you kept going on about how one day the monster who lived within the grey-lit bulb would hatch and eat us all. The way you spoke was intoxicating – and I wished to drink upon you. We followed where it led and made sweet love beneath the crooked M of an abandoned McDonald’s. Hidden from the world we talked of our biggest secrets, our mutual love of Grandaddy and the Neil Young-esque vocals of early-noughties indie. But as quick as you appeared, you vanished. The moon had slipped once again beneath the sun and I awoke alone. Ega rran away, perhaps from fear of love, or a commitment to a life of mystery which couldn’t bare companionship. Oh well. What is for certain though is that I will never forget that night.
someone 01.31.22	" Ega rran away" at this point many more will break up with you but many others will grow closer
Egarran 01.31.22	Nope, didn't capisce that either.
Trifolium 01.31.22	Difficult theme, I never break up with anyone. I'll look for an actual situation that would work here...
Egarran 01.31.22	Frightened Rabbit - Poke https://youtu.be/hXLacIfo-6k While parts of me were out frivoling with Phero, this one goes out to Johnny who has always been slightly apprehensive towards our love and general co-dependence. We could have found happiness in our own thing, but we are too burdened down by society's expectations for antagonism and drama. ~If someone took a picture of us now they'd need to be told That we had ever clung and tied A navy knot with arms at night~ ^Probably the most poignant love metaphor ever.
Vercetti 01.31.22	"Difficult theme, I never break up with anyone. I'll look for an actual situation that would work here..." Hey, Trifolium. Wanna be friends with me and immediately break up?
Trifolium 01.31.22	Ok! Oh my god how could you say that!!!?
Trifolium 01.31.22	(Secretly still best friends forever!)
Vercetti 01.31.22	I'm so sorry! Please take me back!
Trifolium 01.31.22	You can come pick up your clothes tomorrow!!! (Just to make sure for when Johnny checks our closet, he would immediately find out it's all a ruse otherwise...)
Trifolium 01.31.22	Break Up Song for Me and Vercetti (you've seen it all unfold before your very eyes if you've read comment 13-17 in this thread): Nina Simone - I'm Gonna Leave You (from High Priestess of Soul) https://youtu.be/DGXkNV1B6YU Best Song Ever obviously since it's Nina. "No more headaches no more heartbreaks I'm gonna leave you where I met you I'm gonna leave you whit your money I want somebody to call me honey I don't want gold rings I wanna hear sweet things I need affection and not protection When you're teasing you should be squeezing I'm gonna leave you where I met you"
Egarran 01.31.22	Yeah OK that's gold
fogza 01.31.22	this is such a blatant attempt to generate sputnik fanfic
ArsMoriendi 01.31.22	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7M3EEHYkJ0 "Piss Up a Rope" by Ween (break up song with Storm in a Teacup) Our love started when I compared a composition of his to Ween's The Pod. It should've been a red flag when he gave the Pod a 1.5, but he 4'd two other Ween releeaes, so I forgave him. He said I'd be the one to advise his next release's tracklist and I was over the moon, but I've been left in the dust since. I'm tired of waiting Storm, I need to move on, so it's time for you to piss up a rope!
ArsMoriendi 01.31.22	(also a prime example of how Dean Ween's lyrics are so much harder to take seriously than Gene Ween's lol.)
Sinternet 01.31.22	hmm who do i fuck and then catch feelings for
JohnnyoftheWell 01.31.22	this goes out to everyone else i end up having broken up with over the course of the month: there is a reason for these partings, and it is JesperL. i was unhappy in love because i thought he was unattainable. then he wasn't and i fell asleep. everything has been attained and it wasn't worth it. now i love nothing. i was going to rec the greatest shoegaze song of all time so i did. JesperL loves shoegaze - that must be nice. (astrobrite - goddess：：：：tru gazers 0nly)
fogza 01.31.22	fogza asks norma out and norma agrees out of pity despite having a full dancecard (norma already has seven other paramours, but there's one side left). norma is able to see past fogza's lack of rhythm, dress sense, and his insecurities about eating loaded fries in public . They manage to make it to the third date but fogza has a meltdown at a sput party when ars suggests the VU and Nico isn't the best Velvets album. fogza inexplicably kicks a punch bowl off a table out of frustration, which is the final straw (it's actually miraculous as his foot only glances the punch bowl due to general inaccuracy). this leads to an unceremonious dumping. Modest Mouse - Broke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlqgijgd3d0
dedex 01.31.22	wah you guys are motivated for this one i currently have got no idea. will report back
YoYoMancuso 01.31.22	Bible Discussion/Study Meeting?
someone 01.31.22	Bubbles Dancing Soverthrowingcapitalism Music
Egarran 01.31.22	Damn that's good fogz I wonder if we could be more than friends. But I don't dare risk what we already have.
fogza 01.31.22	i'm already intimidated by what you and phero had, so i'd just sabotage it anyway
SlothcoreSam 01.31.22	Perfect one for my sputbro Minus! Nofx - I’ve Got One Jealous Again, Again. Off "Self Entitled" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h6F_tTJf2_A It's all about the lyrics, I don't h8 ya myNegativeONE, but the amount of classic albums this song references, I think you will understand. "This wasn't like the Faith/Void This was a clean split"
someone 01.31.22	bepressive duicidal slack metal
Pheromone 01.31.22	i also prefer both of the other 2 to vu and nico but i guess we aren't dating so no item destruction...
dedex 01.31.22	uh ok i broke up with uuuuuh trif but then we alright and dance to this bop Clara Luciani - Le reste off Coeur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0fV4w-wLOU
Pheromone 01.31.22	summoning diva and budgie to the stage
Egarran 01.31.22	Ooh a couple who actually broke up, nice
Aberf 01.31.22	I broke up with frippertronics a while ago. He never replied to my shoutbox anymore. 😭
JesperL 01.31.22	i'll bite (in more than one way) this song is my side of the nonbreakup breakup with youknowwho. it's not so much that sleep causes any problems, nor is it perceived unattainability. rather, it is persistent doubt; it is the inescapable haze that punctures all of us. will i wish i would have stayed? will it be everything i dreamed? sleep wasn't the issue. dreams were where everything went wrong. when dreams don't validate one another, dusk takes over. when thoughts fail to align, nothing worthy remains. sometimes we learn that the hard way. johnny, go home, lock the door, put on something you've heard before. i used to soar. but i don't want to anymore. hundredth - youth (from alb 'rare') https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu1OlkzlS94
JesperL 01.31.22	i don't rly know what all that means either but it sure sounds profound
someone 01.31.22	you too are breaking up with Johnny? but which one of us was a side hoe?
Egarran 01.31.22	Pretty sure it was me /:
fogza 01.31.22	Well, Jesper is talking about validation and soaring, and you're talking about spanking sessions lol
Egarran 01.31.22	We made a great navy knot with arms
JesperL 01.31.22	"in the end, aren't we all side hoes?" - Jesper L., 2k22
Trifolium 01.31.22	dedex this was the smallest hiccup ever and we'll be dancing always happily for ever and ever 😍💕💚✨
Pheromone 01.31.22	> Well, Jesper is talking about validation and soaring, and you're talking about spanking sessions lol belly laughed good theme good list
Egarran 01.31.22	I miss our Grandaddy spooning sessions
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.22	wow this list is over 33% full and we've already broken like fifty quadrillion hearts nice gang!
fogza 02.01.22	1. Astrobrite: Goddess - Ok floating whales time. There was a time I fooled myself that I really LURVE this textural stuff, but I don't really love it. It's nice though, probably would never crave listening to this. 3.5
dedex 02.01.22	1. Goddess - yeah am wiff tha fogzer on this one: cool shit that don't make me pp hard. 3.5 woo Trif! i don't like the idea of breaking up so i wanted to bring posi vibes!
Trifolium 02.01.22	Same. Whatever Johnny throws at us next, we'll survive 💪🏼💞
Pheromone 02.01.22	1. Goddess - so many layers just to sound like a cunting kazoo. it's good though 3.3
MiloRuggles 02.01.22	Submitting Bill Withers - Use Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuYDKzky4z0 This goes out to my inevitable breakup with Evok, of whom I am a shameless day one stan. Evok hatefucks me on the regular behind closed doors and cold shoulders me in public, so this song is kinda just a good representation of where we're at rn. It's not built to last, but daym if it ain't good
fogza 02.01.22	"i also prefer both of the other 2 to vu and nico but i guess we aren't dating so no item destruction" but you always give bad news in a cute tone anyway, no-one could be mad at you. except maybe mort
Pangea 02.01.22	The first few months were perfect. We connected over our mutual love of 00s pop music and we would spend our time ass-shaking all day long. It was beautiful, wonderous. However, lately it hasn't been the same. i am sorry dedex, it's not you, it's me. I hope we can still be friends. Sharon van Etten - Your Love Is Killing Me (from Are We There) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rbnJ6nYKFQ
Pangea 02.01.22	song is more intense as the breakup would suggest but uh it is the best song ever so
dedex 02.01.22	we can still shake da ass as friends 💚
Pangea 02.01.22	💖💖💖💖
Vercetti 02.01.22	If Trifolium's askin', I've gone away Yeah, I'm packin and gone today Our friendship was lovely and I enjoyed it Maybe we'll be friends again one day Sorry to hurry, but I'll miss my plane Don't worry about me, I'll be okay See ya the next time, maybe you'll stop by Maybe, well I'll try Hopefully, but I guess I never cared that much I never kept in touch And most of all, what really sucks Is everything and all of us This is a song about my breakup with Trifolium. Because without Trifolium... ...'Everything Sucks' by dope (from their album Felons and Revolutionaries) https://youtu.be/ggHpZE2W-rs
Pheromone 02.01.22	aw hehe thanks fogza, your dog has just died < 3
fogza 02.01.22	aren't you supposed to be listening to oxbow right now
Pheromone 02.01.22	viva la resistance
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.22	i will kill your prize cow
Trifolium 02.01.22	Vercetti 💞✨ Our love won't die. *2021-†2022
Egarran 02.01.22	Johnny has wonderful qualities, but he's definitely the highest maintenance lover I've had.
fogza 02.01.22	imagine dating johnny and having to put together a playlist if you arrange a dinner party together. people will be tucking into their creme brulees while some weird feedback project whines in the background
Egarran 02.01.22	'Nam flashbacks right there
Storm In A Teacup 02.01.22	You guys are required to like my pick this month so that means i have to pick a good one
Storm In A Teacup 02.01.22	"If you do not know any other Sputnik users" That is so sad to read. 🥺
someone 02.01.22	Astrobrite - Goddess quirky and noisy 4/5 that whole album sounds like the new Low, but in a more post-rock and drone direction
fogza 02.02.22	2. Holy Ghost!: Jam for Jerry - uhhhh ehhh aaah meh. 80's synth revival stuff, it's ok I guess. Coda was actually intriguing, wish they'd done more with that. 3.2
dedex 02.02.22	2. Jam for Jerry - woo boppy muzak for the early morning woo! It's cool, not mindblowing, but going straight to the playlist 🔥 3.6
MiloRuggles 02.02.22	1. Astrobrite - Goddess ok yes this is truegaze at its damn near finest 4.5 2. Holy Ghost - Jam for Jerry aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is ok i like the outro 2.58
fogza 02.03.22	3. Frightened Rabbit: Poke - It's sad what happened but I remember finding this record a bit histrionic. This track is ok. 3.2
dedex 02.03.22	3. Poke - yeah kinda like da fogzer. I "like" it without being like woah bro i cri errtime. 3.1
Pheromone 02.03.22	omg what the fuuuuuuuuckkkkk is that poke rating from everyone omggggg
Egarran 02.03.22	It's got lots to do with magnets and the pull of the moon
Pheromone 02.03.22	3. poke - 5 easily. easier than easy. will edit to add 2 soon
Egarran 02.03.22	❤ u always phero Whitenoise Superstar - That is indeed too much white noise. But I remember when you tried to have this as background music during you know what and it was a disaster 2.7/5 Holy Ghost! - Woah that story in the comments about Jerry Fuchs' death wasn't so romantic. But I bet the song is good for spanking. And this is way too 90s pop for me 2/5
fogza 02.04.22	4. Nina Simone: I'm Gonna Leave You (from High Priestess of Soul) - Bops along merrilly. 3.5
dedex 02.04.22	4. I'm Gonna Leave You - aye very boppy way to tell someone you're gonna leave 'em! 3.7
Trifolium 02.04.22	YES it's NINA DAY today! Boppy indeed. Also an earworm full of energy.
Scheumke 02.04.22	Imma have you crying like babies this month guys: Chris Stapleton - Maggie's Song (https://youtu.be/FE5t-VNpPd0) The breakup of the most heart wrenching kind between man and his best friend. R.I.P. Shep, you weren't even my dog (my gf's) but I still remember you fondly. Sorry haha didn't know what else to put here, been in a stable relationship for over 10 years so not really a breakup song with meaning from me. Did want to put something personal up here though.
Donchivo 02.04.22	Bruce Springsteen - I'm Goin' Down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fdZWbIsrFk It's rather a pre break up song, describing how love cooled down and passion became boredom and annoyance... All this embedded into a composition that can be seen as quintessential rock n Roll (swag, cool relaxedness, drive) while at the same time managing to do justice to the melancholic topic. Not to forget it contains one of the finest big man sax parts in the whole E Street Band history.
fogza 02.04.22	omg i fucking love this song ^^. used to sing it all the time
Donchivo 02.04.22	@fogza: Yeah, me too bro! Do you know this alternate take with longer ending and a cool 'rhythm Sax' playing throughout? definitely worth checking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7gDM_F1Vr8
fogza 02.04.22	pretty awesome, hadn't heard that, i always love that bit at 3:10 in the original album cut when he sings higher as the song fades out... i always wished it was a bit longer but it kinda makes you love the moment more too
ArsMoriendi 02.05.22	"Goddess" Confusion ensues. I hate this for the same reason I hate Candy Claws. Drowned out shoegaze haze with no intrigue. It's unrelaxing despite being boring. 2.3/5 "Jam for Jerry" Kinda generic 2009 era dance music? Not feeling this, but at least it's inoffensive. 2.8/5 "Poke" Very confessional. His voice is weird. The folky guitar is nice though. 3.2/5 "I'm Gonna Leave You" Finally some real music. Nina's voice is magnetic and the piano here is so jaunty and fun. Why am I already not into her albums? 4.4/5 "Dust and Turpentine" That generic indie feel is setting in. I'm bored, but I guess this isn't bad or whatever. 3/5
ArsMoriendi 02.05.22	Updated the BLANK spreadsheet with scores and the songs Try to update your own scores ;)
Trifolium 02.05.22	Ars, really, you should check more of her stuff!!!!! You've known this for ages and she's my fave artist ever for a reason 🔥
Trifolium 02.05.22	Start with High Priestess Of Soul, Let It All Out or I Put A Spell On You.
Egarran 02.05.22	I am looking for a consensus here, is Jam for Jerry more 80s, 90's or 00's?
Trifolium 02.06.22	I would say it's a mix between 80s and 00s throwback. I don't hear much 90s there. Sadly, because 90s>, especially in electronic!
fogza 02.07.22	5. Seam: Dust and Turpentine - Starts off with a suitable level of sad sackiness. Doesn't overreach lyrically, and it ends with some welcome anger. We're already 2 steps in. 3.7 6. Ween: Piss Up a Rope - Generic country song with funny lyrics that ain't funny. I once read a review on the Buddyhead website that went something along the lines of "Until someone finds a way to put Eddie Murphy Raw to music, don't make comedy albums". I'd pick a different standup and a different show, but I agree with the sentiment. 2.5
fogza 02.07.22	awkward you say that like you kinda expect it to have happened 🤔.
dedex 02.07.22	5. Dust and Turpentine - started eh but then guitars fucking go yeah! aight. 3.3 6. Piss Up a Rope - I like Ween but this is goofcore. 2.7 7. Broke - ah, Modest Mouse. this is a Modest Mouse tune. 3.7
JohnnyoftheWell 02.07.22	2. Holy Ghost! - Jam for Jerry: it is 80s but not that bassline is literally blue monday worship. good chorus, rest is ok. 3.4 3. Frightened Rabbit - Poke: was always one of my favs on this album. kick its cunt in etc.. the band in general makes me think of phero and rowan crying taking turns to cry into a beer neither of them are drinking and this is probably the reason i don't listen to them more. song does show its age, but ig so does eg so this is fair 3.5 4. Nina Simone - I'm Gonna Leave You: it is nina simone we were never together what is this hassle 3.5 5. Seam - Dust and Turpentine: BedheadPinbackIdaho minus hooks plus three times easier to cry to damn phero nailed the pitch thank u baby 3.5 6. Ween - Piss Up A Rope: cringe pigshit 1.1 7. Modest Mouse - Broke: BedheadPinbackIdaho minus hooks plus three times easier to cry to damn fogaza nailed the pitch thank u baby unfortunately isaac brock's sadvoice is more annnoying that it used to be. >>>"I've done some things that I want to forget, but I can't." Such a universal truth. This is a really deep track. 3.4
JohnnyoftheWell 02.07.22	hate this for the same reason I hate Candy Claws generic 2009 era dance music His voice is weird also lol shortest month of the yr means that the concentration of ars shittakes is gonna have work overtime to meet its quota
fogza 02.07.22	wait i nailed the pitch but i only get a 3.4? tough room
Vercetti 02.07.22	1. Goddess - You know how people that don't understand the music you like say things like "It's just noise". Well, it's just noise. 2.0 2. Jam for Jerry - Thumps up for 80s vibes. I like it. 3.5 3. Frightend Rabbit Poke - This gets a plus because even without the context I could identify it as a break up song. Good choice. 4.0 4. I'm gonna leave you - I know this choice was dedicated to me, but I'm trying to give an objective rating. It's objectively the best song ever. 5.0
Trifolium 02.07.22	🌞💕
fogza 02.08.22	8. Nofx: I’ve Got One Jealous Again, Again - This has that snotty brat meets salty dockworker voice thing going on. Not my brand of corndog. 2.5
dedex 02.08.22	8. I’ve Got One Jealous Again, Again - ain't a huge fan of the vocals, but the riffs are riffy! 2.9
ArsMoriendi 02.08.22	Johnny I hope it bothers you that I 100% prefer Piss Up a Rope to slow, unengaging, guitar drowned, shoegaze """classics""" like Candy Claws
Egarran 02.08.22	Damn
fogza 02.08.22	twist the knife!
JohnnyoftheWell 02.08.22	there are people with offensively bad taste but rn i'm just laughing
Egarran 02.08.22	I like that Ars of all people is complaining about ratings
ArsMoriendi 02.08.22	Nah just Johnny’s need to call me out for not liking shoegaze
JohnnyoftheWell 02.08.22	Damn
fogza 02.08.22	deja vu
SlothcoreSam 02.08.22	It's the lyrics, yo, all about the lyrics! Minus would understand.
Vercetti 02.08.22	5. Dust and Turpentine - 2.5 6. Piss up a Rope - Funny country song, but a bit too silly 3.0 7. Broke - This puts me in a breakup mood. I also like how the song is getting wilder towards the end. Nice choice 4.0
SlothcoreSam 02.08.22	So Johnny picked a good date for my song. As this happened to me. https://ibb.co/5nX8Mh1 So you better be nice
Ryus 02.08.22	s/o fogza for picking the best song ever
fogza 02.08.22	Wait, are congratulations in order sam? And thanks ryus
SlothcoreSam 02.08.22	Yeah, new baby boy
Egarran 02.08.22	Well fucking done Sam
dedex 02.09.22	oooooooh NICE Sam mucho congrats
fogza 02.10.22	9. Clara Luciani: Le reste - Breezy little disco funk track. 3.7
dedex 02.10.22	10. Youth - at first was like "yeah i know my 'core" but then i was like "yeah i know my gaze!!!". this is good! 3.8
fogza 02.10.22	10. Hundredth: Youth - Taut. Probably needs one more change up to push it over the top. 3.6
fogza 02.10.22	hey johnny are you going to add don's rec? I know there isn't a breakup story but i'm keen to 5 something this month.
Vercetti 02.10.22	8. I Got One Jealous Again - Very generic, inoffensive punk rock song that... oh, they mention the Misfits. That's cool. 3.5 9. La Reste - Beautiful video. 3.5 10. Youth - Not bad. To quote a youtube video I like: If the shoe fits, gaze at it. 3.5
Scheumke 02.11.22	"hey johnny are you going to add don's rec? I know there isn't a breakup story but i'm keen to 5 something this month." Mine is also still missing ;)
fogza 02.11.22	11. Bill Withers: Use me - It's ok. I think Bill kinda irritates me because of how overplayed "Ain't no sunshine" is, but that's not really his fault. It's a cruel world. 3.3
dedex 02.11.22	11. Use Me - not my fav Bill chune but it's Bill ya'know. 3.5
fogza 02.12.22	12. Sharon van Etten: Your love is killing me - Things just got real. Love this album, and this song in all its bleak, vicious splendour. Sounds like a mock victory, when clearly no-one is winning. 4.5
fogza 02.13.22	13. Dope: Everything Sucks - Urgh, not even a big dumb catchy chorus, it just peters out. It may surprise you to learn this but I don't like nu metal. Even when it's half heartedly fused with synths. Put your bandanna away good sir. 1.5
JohnnyoftheWell 02.13.22	gang it is a short month, and i believe it is time to open second recs so we can get through it shorterly
SlothcoreSam 02.13.22	No one in particular. But this is my fav hip hop break up song. Sage Francis - Rewrite/50 ways Off the live album Road Tested https://youtu.be/0Pm30aqG_hQ
SlothcoreSam 02.13.22	I'll try and get around to listening to the songs, but having a new born around is cramping my style.
dedex 02.13.22	12. Your Love Is Killing Me - killer tune. 4.4 13. Everything Sucks - eh yah punchy but ain't catchy. 2.8
fogza 02.14.22	14. Chris Stapleton: Maggie's Song - It's kind of cool that this song is about a dog, not the most common topic. Other than that, same old boring Chris Stapleton. 2.8
dedex 02.14.22	14. Maggie's Song - dunno this tune but yeah seems like run-of-the-mill country. 2.9
fogza 02.14.22	2nd rec: Paris, 1787. The captivating Marxist socialite (yes I know Marx wasn't born yet but this is a more interesting time for French history) phero meets the aging petit bourgeois fogza at a Scottish slowcore show. They bond over a shared love of cheap coffee. Fogza attempts to dissuade phero from following a life of thrilling socialist rebellion, and to settle for an existence of reasonably priced biscuits and snuggling on the couch. Phero, realising this runs counter to his wild nature, disappears into a crowd of bread rioters without looking back, as a red scarf falls in slow motion to the ground. Heartbroken, fogza contemplates poetry and the fleeting nature of love while staring out of the window in a suitably moody, existential way. Richard Thompson - Beeswing (acoustic classics version, which is the best one) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMLusfXIoh8 If you prefer a bit more instrumentation, here's the Mirror Blue version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsKEMZW8VmE
dedex 02.14.22	waw these fanfics are getting more detailed
Egarran 02.14.22	Very poignant. Idealism and romance is a hard match indeed.
JohnnyoftheWell 02.14.22	uh yeah more of what fogza is doing plz and more fuckin recs!!!
dedex 02.14.22	k idc about doing a fanfic 'cos am a lazy boi but here's a jam i jam a lot: Kaleidoscopio - Voce me apareceu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBtCJn6Wf9Q
fogza 02.15.22	15. Bruce Springsteen: I'm Goin' Down - I used to go to this hole in the wall bar which this band had hired as a rehearsal space. One day they just started serving drinks and refried beans. They left their instruments on the stage and anyone could go up and play. This one dude used to sing this song every Saturday, just an acoustic guitar (as well as Warren Zevon's Factory). It sounded great. Even when I sing it, it sounds sort of ok. Obs when the Boss does it it's a stone cold classic. It's such a good song anyone could bang it out and it would just be sweet. Sorry just so many good memories. 5
JohnnyoftheWell 02.15.22	Only 9 recs to do yeet yeet yett
dedex 02.15.22	15. I'm Goin' Down - i don't have a cool story to share BUT this is a great song yes the Boss is the Boss. 3.7
fogza 02.16.22	16. Sage Francis: Rewrite/50 ways - Live hip hop is a bad start. Sounds like a bit of lame backpack guy, not helping. Honestly he sounds like an asshat, I'm team unnamed wife. She doesn't want to stay in touch, it's ok, get over it. Didn't enjoy this on any level. However, I want to say I do feel bad about this as sloth is cool. 1
dedex 02.16.22	16. Rewrite/50 ways - notwithstanding the lyrical matter, this is alright. 3.0
dedex 02.17.22	17. Beeswing - apart from the Celtic vibe - which is v coo - i didn't really care about his delivery/voice. 3.2
dedex 02.17.22	half-baked? babe this is non-baked m/
fogza 02.17.22	"i didn't really care about his delivery/voice." we are definitely out of sync at the mo. if we hi fived it would be all awkward and side palmy
Pheromone 02.17.22	omg fogza bogza that was amazing i am sorry but i am a wild socialist king and you are a mere twiglet eating fool i will be back
Pheromone 02.17.22	with another rec
fogza 02.17.22	It is ok phero, it is better to have loved and lost or something
Pheromone 02.17.22	i hate twiglets > : (
dedex 02.17.22	> if we hi fived it would be all awkward and side palmy we can fistbump then!
fogza 02.17.22	🤜🤛
fogza 02.17.22	I don't know what a twiglet is I'd probably have rather gone for tim tams
Pheromone 02.17.22	what the hell i swear you're an expert on england
fogza 02.17.22	Lol "Marmite flavoured wheat snack" oh my that does sound iffy
fogza 02.18.22	18. Kaleidoscopio: Voce me apareceu - fun little song, but I have my doubts that it's a breakup track! If I spoke Portugese I would crack this case but I'm too lazy to find the lyrics AND run them thru Google translate. Where is detective Ars when you need him? 3.5
JohnnyoftheWell 02.18.22	norma rec addddded we need more rec

fogza 02.18.22	also i'm sorry about the fanfic party scenario, i was going through some low blood sugar issues
fogza 02.19.22	19. Brandy: Almost doesn't count - It's taken me 20+ years but I'm coming round to R&B. This takes me back, more intricacies than I remember. 3.6
Vercetti 02.19.22	2nd rec: Fogza obviously betrayed me. My rec for January got the lowest rating that month and it's partly fogza's fault. And this month fog humiliated me even further by giving Everything Sucks a 1.5. Therefore our friendship is now over. And just to annoy fogza I have to recommend something that's max Nu Metal. When you listen to this, fogza, and you hate it (as I hope), just remember: You did this to yourself! Limp Bizkit - Just Drop Dead (https://youtu.be/lHvye4fONtc)
fogza 02.19.22	Just remember vercetti, living well is the best revenge.
fogza 02.19.22	Oh wow it's limp bizkit, you really are trying to punish me 😂
Vercetti 02.19.22	No. Making people listen to Limp Bizkit is the best revenge. Who agrees?
coachcake 02.19.22	mount eerie - real death
fogza 02.19.22	I just wanna say I still love you vercetti, even I you are doubling down on the nu metal. I guess we're seeing this theme play out for real this month, so much melodrama
Vercetti 02.19.22	I love you too.
rellik009 02.19.22	Kai Kozhong by Altai Kai idk I saw a list rec'ing folk but not Siberian folk and that triggered me so hard so it broke up my relationship with norma because he couldnt telepathically read inside my mind that it was an epic genre. Also melancholic siberian folk is m/
Aberf 02.19.22	Yuragi - I Want You By My Side https://youtu.be/j6W21bI5-DQ Frippertronics, if you see this, I just want to say that I miss u bro 💔💔. You haven't replied to my shoutbox since 2 years ago. We used to talk a lot about many things😢. Please come back 🥺.
Egarran 02.19.22	aww I miss him too
dedex 02.21.22	19. Almost Doesn't Count - lush R&B is always a pleasure yeehaw. 3.7 20. Serenade - yeah just pure beauty. 4.2 21. Just Drop Dead - kinda cool tbh. 3.4
JohnnyoftheWell 02.21.22	3 more recs to go! someone rec yourboyfriendsucks! plz gonna listen to these soon
fogza 02.21.22	20. Franz Schubert: Serenade - I'm a terrible judge of classical music, I'm not often able to concentrate on it and it just drifts by. Also it reminds me of certain settings like the orthodontist or libraries. This is very pretty. 3.5
fogza 02.21.22	21. Limp Bizkit: Just Drop Dead - Vercetti thinks he's hurting me, but you only hurt yourself by smacking your head on a wall. This makes me sad. Some may have picked up that I'm not fond of Limp Bizkit. I hate Fred Durst's stupid fucking face. I hate his victim / bully persona. I hate that they covered the Who. I hate his red cap. I hate Wes Borland's stage getup (no, I don't want to see the predator play guitar). This song also sounds particularly bad, by "Results May Vary" they didn't even really have non-lazy hooks. The riff is boring. There's some bad keyboard stabs that sound like shit. Big predictable build up to this flat "just drop dead" line. This sounds like the worst re-imaging of "Word up" possible. The only moment of Fred's career that made him in any way endearing is the scene in the "Golden Cobra" video where he looks like he's totally concentrating on nailing the choreography. He just wants to be a backing dancer in that moment, and briefly, he's human, because in the grand scheme of things, don't we all just want to nail the choreography in a commercial dance routine? 1
MiloRuggles 02.21.22	milo's slow catch up day 1 Frightened Rabbits gets a lovely lil 3.5
Drifter 02.21.22	alexander o'neal - if you were here tonight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xs8pfcDkj0 (dont listen to the version on streaming; its a rerecording from years later) one morning i woke up and norman wasnt there beside me. i waited all day to no avail. gone. without a trace of intent in coming back. necessities all gone. im on my knees on the back lawn howling how if they were here tonight i would give them all of me once again
fogza 02.22.22	22. Mount Eerie: Real death - The lyrics are gut wrenching in context, something about the delivery bothers me. 3
dedex 02.22.22	22. real death - "The lyrics are gut wrenching in context, something about the delivery bothers me." this, but x1000. This album could lyrically move me, but the way he sings and plays guitar (notice the *) bore me to death. 2.0
MiloRuggles 02.22.22	4. nina simone - i'm gonna leave you 4.5 ! ! !
Egarran 02.22.22	>This sounds like the worst re-imaging of "Word up" possible. What a frightening sentence. Good post tho.
fogza 02.22.22	why thank ya!
Vercetti 02.22.22	14. Maggie's Song - Thumbs up for the puppy. 3.5 15. I'm Going Down, down, down... - 2.5 16. Rewrite/50 Ways - Did he just say he had sex with his girlfriend's mom? 3.0 17. Beeswing - It's nothing personal. It's just not my thing. 2.0 18. Você Me Apareceu - Is this even a breakup song? I don't know. Sounds okay to me. 3.0 19. Almost Doesn't Count - Also not my thing. 2.0
Pheromone 02.22.22	fogza's take on limp bizkit lmao
fogza 02.22.22	i'll never get immortalised in the pasta thread, but that doesn't mean i can't try
Pheromone 02.22.22	i got you bro

Vercetti 02.22.22	"no, I don't want to see the predator play guitar" - fogza, 2022 This quote is even better out of context
fogza 02.22.22	put that on my tombstone!
Pheromone 02.22.22	fogza best user it is known
fogza 02.22.22	🤗
dedex 02.23.22	23. Kai Kozhong - nice guitar, then woah throat-singing now that's fucking dope! and then some singing. cool shit. 3.5
fogza 02.23.22	23. Kai Kozhong: Altai Kai - Interesting? Yes. Falls into that "I respect this but I'm not mad about it" category. 3.2
Pangea 02.23.22	1. Goddess - this did absolutely nothing to me. 2.5 2. Holy Ghost - banger. 4.5 3. Poke - beauty. 4.5 4. I'm Gonna Leave You - Nina good. 3.3 5. Dust and Turpentine - eh, didn't really like the quiet vocals here. 2.8
Vercetti 02.23.22	I've forgotten those two: 11. Use Me - 3.0 12. Your Love Is Killing Me - 3.5

Pangea 02.23.22	🥰
Pangea 02.23.22	6. Piss up a Rope - this is stupid. 2.0 7. Broke - Classic modest mouse. 4.0 8. I’ve Got One Jealous Again, Again - not very good and the lyrics are just references. lame. 2.3 9. La Reste - does bop. 3.8 10. Youth - cool shit. 4.0

fogza 02.24.22	24. Yuragi: I Want You By My Side - It's quite nice, big soaring moments near the end. Don't love the vocal but don't hate it either. 3.5
dedex 02.24.22	24. I Want You By My Side - I HATE YOU FOGZA for saying exactly what I thought uwu. 3.5
Pangea 02.24.22	11. Use Me - great stuff. 3.7 12. goat 13. Everything Sucks - stupid & fun. 3.5 14. Maggie's Song - very typical country, but i did quite like it. 3.0 15. I'm Goin Down - not my favourite song i've heard from bruce. 3.0
MiloRuggles 02.24.22	5. Seam - Dust and Turpentine Hey woah this is understated considering what it is? Cool 3.8 6. Ween - Piss up a Rope Might be funny as a mid-album excursion, and that lead break is cool, but a bit of a nightmare in a vacuum 2.3 7. Modest Mouse etc Lo, behold, another Modest Mouse song that I just think is okay 3.2 8. NOFX - I Got One Jealous Again Oh fuck no thx, I like a couple of their songs but jeezus 1.5 9. Clara Luciani - Le Reste Pretty nice, smoov bass 3.4 10. Hundredth - Youth hhmmmmmmmm not sure why such a tasty bass tone gets so thoroughly buried by the sheer volume of everything else. vocals could be pulled back for sure given their gazylistlessness. kinda cool stuff, but frustrating 3
fogza 02.24.22	dedex just the best
Pheromone 02.24.22	who is dedex
fogza 02.24.22	he's only best gas leak inspector in all of europe
Pheromone 02.24.22	fogza do you prefer being little spoon or big spoon
fogza 02.24.22	i'm a big spoon 90% of the time, but it's nice occasionally to switch it up
dedex 02.24.22	fogza 😍 lil spoon > big spoon but alas it seems like im condemned to be a big spoon
fogza 02.24.22	phero what is your spoon preference?
Pheromone 02.24.22	ga ga ga or girls can tell
Pangea 02.24.22	16. Rewrite/50 Days - really didn't care for this. 2.0 17. Beeswing - I do like this kind of acoustic stuff, nice guitar-picking technique. 3.5 18. Você Me Apareceu - brings the sun in my office. 3.3 19. Almost Doesn't Count - yes good shit. 4.0 20. Ständchen - so beautiful. 4.2
fogza 02.24.22	Good picks
Pheromone 02.24.22	so, i like being little spoon a lot but as dedex said i am sadly often resigned to big spoon roll
dedex 02.24.22	😤 #GiveUsLilSpoon
fogza 02.24.22	alas. i feel a bit guilty about being content with my default spoon situation, but such is life
Pheromone 02.24.22	luckily for me, i am entirely completely single right now so no spoon for me yay oh god
dedex 02.25.22	25. If You Were Here Tonight - can u feel the 80s??? pretty cool but a bit uncool yfm??? 3.5
fogza 02.25.22	25. Alexander O'Neal: If you were here tonight - Alexander finds a hard but pretty part of his voice in this bassy ballad, replete with cold guitar licks at every turn. I'm actually on the same wavelength as deadeye dedex. 3.5
JohnnyoftheWell 02.25.22	who's gonna drop the final rec?
Pangea 02.25.22	didn't phero do that?
porcupinetheater 02.25.22	I rec Big K.R.I.T. - Miss Georgia Fornia And I break up with Pangea cuz' I'll keep Pange on my mind no matter where I go, and you pretty much cover all there is to go to. We'll be okay. I swear to God, we'll both be okay, our continent might not be super anymore, but I'll always feel tectactonic for you (oops wait no i was always faithful i swear) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsE3eRSiu6Q Oh yeah it's from the good album with a 4, 4eva!

dedex 02.25.22	The Smiths + Big KRIT recs? Mucho nice, banger tunes
Pangea 02.25.22	i was listening to the queen is dead earlier this week and was reminded of how good that song is
porcupinetheater 02.25.22	I want that pic of old Morrissey pinching his nipple onstage, but instead of a nipple it is the head of a smaller Morrissey
ArsMoriendi 02.25.22	Fuck I forgot about this
Pheromone 02.25.22	does morrissey like nipple play? @zak can u confirm
fogza 02.26.22	26. The Smiths: I Know It's Over - This song is ok, but I'm not really a Smiths guy. Feels like a minute and a half too long, and Morrissey is a taste I struggle to acquire. 3
fogza 02.27.22	Anyone know what the song of the day is today?
porcupinetheater 02.27.22	Big K.R.I.T. - Miss Georgia Fornia, if it's going with mine, Johnny??
fogza 02.27.22	27. Big K.R.I.T.: Miss Georgia Fornia - I've not been in a very hip hop space for awhile now, but even so this is great. 4
Storm In A Teacup 02.27.22	This aaaaaint a sceeeene itsa god. damn. arms race
Pheromone 02.27.22	can whoever hosts next months make the theme "the greatest song of all time"
JohnnyoftheWell 02.27.22	shit, who is hosting next month? phero can u do SOTD and march madness it has never been done before
Pangea 02.27.22	21. Just Drop Dead - it's Limb Bizkit. 2.5 22. Real Death - 5/5 album if you only read the lyrics but usually there is more to music. 2.8 23. Kai Kozhong - not really into throat singing, but otherwise this is cool! 3.2 24. I Want You By My Side - very nice & pretty! 4.3
Pheromone 02.27.22	after just hosting casual convo as well, i dont wanna create a monopoly of my lists
porcupinetheater 02.27.22	I can do next month’s, I am responsible
Egarran 02.27.22	Hooray! can confirm
fogza 02.28.22	28. Crystal Tea - Boyfriend Express - I feel like I've been bombed with contents of one of those robotic claw games, like someone legit dropped a truckload of plush toy unicorns and pink pastille sweets on me. I was thinking I can sort of deal but that guitar at the end was too much. 2.2
JohnnyoftheWell 02.28.22	porcdorc responsiporc yes confirmed
dedex 02.28.22	26. I Know It's Over - maybe the worst Queen Is Dead tune. 4.4 27. Miss Georgia Fornia - WE GOT A LOVE'N'HATE RELATIONSHIP IKNOW (I KNOOOOOW). Fucking love that record, fucking love that song. 4.5 28. Boyfriend Express - fun chune. 3.5
Pangea 02.28.22	"maybe the worst queen is dead tune" 😯😯 dedex is cancelled
dedex 02.28.22	still a 4.4 tho!!! or maybe it's vicar mmmh
porcupinetheater 02.28.22	Uh oh Pang it's lucky I came in too late to get to rating the Smiths or you might be the one breaking up with me
fogza 02.28.22	^🤭
porcupinetheater 02.28.22	Hey fogza let's date and shit talk about Morrissey being more dramatic than a seventh grade diary
porcupinetheater 02.28.22	Wait I don't know what seventh grade is by you does that translate? What school level are kids at when they're 12-13?
Pangea 02.28.22	not liking smiths is okay liking the smiths, though, and calling i know it's over the weakest on the queen is dead, now that's appalling still love you dedex, but i see now we are too different have ever made it work
Pangea 02.28.22	(4.4 rating still very cool, thank you dede!)
Drifter 02.28.22	CANT YOU UNDERSTAND IT GIRL YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I CAAARRREEEEE ITS NOT THE WAY I PLANNED IT IF YOU COULD ONLY KNOW MY BABY YOU WOULD KNOW HOW MUCH I DO BELIIEEEEEEVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE IF YOU WERE HERE TONIIIGGGHHHHTTTT
fogza 02.28.22	"What school level are kids at when they're 12-13" grade 7 sounds right in these modern times. When I was going to school it was called standard 5 though.
fogza 02.28.22	morrisey - so sad, so lilty in singing voice
ArsMoriendi 02.28.22	CATCH-UP TIME "Broke" Indie floaty guitar. Yup that's Isaac Brock's voice alright. Didn't engage me as much as I wanted, but it was cool. 3.4/5 "I’ve Got One Jealous Again, Again." Bad vocals. The instrumentation is meh. We get it, you like punk lol this song is a laundry list. 2.5/5 "Le Reste" Modern disco-funk. Dime a dozen, but not bad. 3/5 "Youth" Bassy! This was good enough. 3.1/5 "Use Me" Good groove, good voice, and classic lyrics. Is this one cheating? I wish this had a little more variation though, but still, a good hook is a good hook. 3.6/5 "Your Love Is Killing Me" Organs and muffled drums... hmmm. I'm so bored of this four minutes in. Passable as background noise? 3/5 "Everything Sucks" What is this cheese haha. White Zombie cover band? Nah this ain't it. 2.6/5
ArsMoriendi 03.01.22	"Maggie's Song" Bad modern country musically, but the lyrics about a dying dog is endearing. Sad stuff. 3/5 "I'm Goin' Down" Meh Bruce never did it for me. He's going down I guess. Tom Waits did a song about going down a lot better. He's saying "down" so much. This secretly sucks. 2.5/5 "Rewrite/50 ways" Weirdly rocky delivery. Man, this rapping is not doing it for me. The drums are cool enough. I wonder if Paul Simon would like this version. I sure don't. 2/5 "Beeswing" I picked the Blue Mirror version. The voice is fine, but the guitar is pretty good. I think folk is really leeching into my blood lately. I don't really love these vocals though, oh well, the rest is cool. 3.4/5 "Voce Me Apareceu" Creative effects and upbeat guitar. This is gonna be fun. Great bass! Brazil is a good music country, oh my. AND A GOOD OUTRO. The best song today. 4.2/5 "Almost Doesn't Count" Very 90s contemporary R&B. This doesn't stand out at all except for maybe that Spanish guitar. 3.1/5 "Ständchen" What a change of pace! This is pleasant, but complex, cool combo. 3.8/5 "Just Drop Dead" The bass is cool, but everything else about this is bad. This needs to end. 1.8/5 "Real Death" Death is not for singing about? But you are, you ironic hipster! But in all seriousness, this is cool. 3.9/5 "Kai Kozhong" So throat singing is cool as fuck, but also something I'd never seek out on my own. You win. Entertaining. 4/5 "I Want You By My Side" More shoegeze. Idk don't I'm bored, this is fine. 3.2/5
ArsMoriendi 03.01.22	"If You Were Here Tonight" This is like bad sex scene music. The kind you'd hear in The Room. Okay, this is going on for way too long. 2.6/5 "I Know It's Over" Bassy okay. Kind of empty sounding. What do people see in this? This is like if R.E.M. was gloomier but sucked. 2.5/5 "Miss Georgia Fornia" Soulful intro. This is cool. It has good vocals and drums and I don't mind the rapping. 3.6/5 "Boyfriend Express" Johnny you're such a weeb holy shit. This is like schoolgirl anime intro indie pop. Sugar vomit music. 2/5
Drifter 03.01.22	ars disrespecting the fuck out of established classics again. nothing new to see here
ArsMoriendi 03.01.22	Sometimes it's important to be iconoclastic Question your authorities, kill your idols, and be true to you

Pangea 03.08.22	Okay calling it now!
