fogza: 🚇🥧🍟November SOTD: Best of British 🐟👑⚽

fogza 10.31.22	Once again, here's the spread sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yo9Aj7t1IZwG41xFgX9kzIugIsVckENq5RnQace1WDw/edit#gid=887303738
PitchforkArms 10.31.22	I have no idea how those islands work - is Scotland considered British?
ArsMoriendi 10.31.22	My most listened to this of the year is "Museum" by Donovan (from Mellow Yellow.) I love the tune, the lyrics, and the violin, its peak psychedelia really. "There she stood in drag Just-a lookin' cool in astrakhan She's lookin' a little wiped out She said I looked like Peter Pan" Just so memorable and evocative! That trippy Scot! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LaFACDv8r0
ArsMoriendi 10.31.22	"I have no idea how those islands work - is Scotland considered British?" British = England, Scotland, Wales, but not North Ireland so no Van Morrison I guess
fogza 10.31.22	PitchforkArms, you can go for anything from England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. I'm making an executive ruling.
PitchforkArms 10.31.22	Thank you, Ars (also, hope you've been well) easy pick for me, then.. River - There Will Be Fireworks
ArsMoriendi 10.31.22	Okay so I take that back, someone do Van Morrison
fogza 10.31.22	Sorry, forgot to mention, please include a link to your song (be it YouTube, Spotify, etc).
fogza 10.31.22	"fogza when are we getting a PINT" i'm not sure i believe you exist johnny 🤣
fogza 10.31.22	shriek
fogza 10.31.22	oh and if you're ever around croydon then the first round is on me
DadKungFu 11.01.22	Bert Jansch - Fresh As a Sweet Sunday Morning Ironically from his least British sounding album, this track lives up to the title in every way https://youtu.be/aPmYOIZ56Mw
SlothcoreSam 11.01.22	Oasis - wonderwa...... Just kidding. BRB
Trundle 11.01.22	Roxy Music - In every dream home, a heartache https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LSniBxXjK_8
SlothcoreSam 11.01.22	Too many British classics. Let's go with one from my favourite British musical style, Anarcho-punk Conflict - The Serenade is Dead Off the album, Increase The Pressure https://youtu.be/liE88h5HsWg
Divaman 11.01.22	Ultravox - Lament, the title track from the LP of the same name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDNn9A0MBCc
fogza 11.01.22	"but i shall bring phero and the first round shall be on him !" phero needs to be depositing every spare pound into a jar with a big sticker that says "laptop fund"
fogza 11.01.22	"Oasis - wonderwa...... Just kidding." wait who?
Trifolium 11.01.22	Ok ok a nice-y nice one: Meat Beat Manifesto - Think Fast (from 99%) https://youtu.be/BkuKYKLJrX4 (I hope this one works because the others are very low quality...)
fogza 11.01.22	sorry dedex, fontaines DC are not british, they're republic of ireland, not northern ireland. hate to shoot you down but gotta do so
Mort. 11.01.22	jarcrew? now theres a band i havent seen in a while the stranglers - bitching
Shemson 11.01.22	Massive Attack - Paradise Circus Possibly my favourite song ever?
Divaman 11.01.22	1. Jarcrew - Jangly guitar. Whiny vocals. Not terrible, not great. Energetic, though. 2.9
DadKungFu 11.01.22	1. Jarcrew - energetic, fun, Strokes meets Drive Like Jehu 3.7
Vinnymcscoop 11.01.22	Lower Than Atlantis - (Motor) Way Of Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOcYWroCj4U
garas 11.01.22	Queen - Hammer To Fall Trying to be nice: take my favourite Queen song, I hope it qualifies! https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=jiimVjS2DHo&feature=share
Minortimbo12 11.01.22	Jen Ledger- Not Dead Yet (edited post)
fogza 11.01.22	hey everybody i've taken my most mediocre guess for the links if you've not provided them. if i'm wrong then you shouldn't have been so gosh darned lazy
Trundle 11.01.22	1. 3/5
ArsMoriendi 11.01.22	"Defacto Symphony" Post-hardcore with no real special qualities, but it isn't bad or anything. 3/5
Divaman 11.02.22	Guys, just a heads up. I filled in a lot of the scores on the worksheet for last month, but I'm no longer feeling well enough to keep up with it anymore (except, of course, for my own scores). So please everyone fill in your own. Sorry about that.
fogza 11.02.22	Diva honestly don't apologise for that buddy, I'll update the sheet if required
fogza 11.02.22	2. Donovan: Museum - A bit of 60's fluff, Donovan generally doesn't make much of an impression on me but I guess it would make alright "waking up after a hangover" music. 3
Divaman 11.02.22	2. Donovan - Jaunty little number. 3.2.
fogza 11.02.22	btw diva i just added an error catching formula to the sheet, hope you don't mind
DadKungFu 11.02.22	2. Donovan - airy, pretty weightless psychedelic pop, enjoyable on a surface level, good hangover music [2] 3.2/5
Divaman 11.02.22	It's fine w/me fogza.
fogza 11.03.22	3. There will be fireworks: River - Oh those emotional Scots! It's not 100% my kinda thing, but there is something about it. Gonna 3.4 it.
DadKungFu 11.03.22	3. River - very fraught with emotion, anthemic as hell and kind of noisy, not typically my thing but it's very well done 3.7/5
Divaman 11.03.22	3. There Will Be Fireworks - Grand opening. Good vocal. Maybe a little overdone on the chorus. 3.3
zakalwe 11.04.22	Rules be damned Oasis - Round Are Way (Live The White Room) The sweat, the parka, the teeth fillings, the birds are minging. 🇬🇧 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XEIduMfSvQU
fogza 11.04.22	fuck yeah a zak rec, list is now official!
fogza 11.04.22	4. Bert Jansch: Fresh As a Sweet Sunday Morning - Very classy and elegant. If I still smoked I'd like to wake up in a cabin with something like this playing, and have a cigarette by the window wrapped in a tartan throw. 3.6
ArsMoriendi 11.04.22	"River" Feels "inspirational" vibe-wise. Strong Scottish accent in that chorus. Can't say this really grabs me at all. It's kind of lame? 2.7/5 "Fresh As a Sweet Sunday Morning" Haunting guitar so far. The steel guitar is really pretty, I like it!. 4.1/5 ALSO I realized no one has been English yet haha, 1 Welshman and 3 Scots. Oh well, tomorrow will change that
SlothcoreSam 11.04.22	1. Defacto Symphony. 3.5 Have not heard of this band, but probably something I would have dug when it came out. Where were you then Fogz. 2. Mellow Yellow. 3.5 My dad used to sing this when I was a load. Takes me back to my childhood, in a good way Arse. Listening to the song now, it's pretty cool chill rock. Great for a commercial. 3. River. 3.9 Love some good Scottish vocals, over some post rock indie. Song still holds up well. 4. Fresh as a sweet Sunday morning. 3.5 I quite like British folk from this era. Should listen to more. Bonus .2 it got my baby to sleep 5. Once upon the sea of blissful awareness. 3. How do you pronounce this bands name? So this is PSYBIANT! who termed that genre. Long, but blissful enough to keep me from skipping. Has its place in a hippy bazaar. 6. In every dream home a heartache. 3.3 My mum's favourite band, you guys are really delivering with the nostalgia. I have never sat down and listened to a song, they were just in on the background. This one starts very slow and remains just hovering around. 3 minutes in and we finally get some action, would be a great song mid concert. 7. Sodium
DadKungFu 11.04.22	Yeah fog, very good morning smoke music
Egarran 11.04.22	Fogza tell me you write poems I want to read them Also I'm totally blanked out on this
DadKungFu 11.04.22	You've got quite a few UK artists 5'd, why not something from there?
Vercetti 11.05.22	Ocean Colour Scene - Hundred Mile High City (from the album Marchin' Already) https://youtu.be/xIhFpmzRKYM I remember hearing that song for the first time in Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Most of his movies have a really good soundtrack.
Trundle 11.06.22	Donovan - museum 4/5
Egarran 11.06.22	>you've got quite a few UK artists 5'd, why not something from there? Experience. If I rec a favorite, I will be sad when everybody goes 'lol lame song for losers gl living with yourself eg. 2/5'. So the art is to find a good song I don't care a lot for.
Pangea 11.06.22	Laurence Guy - Saw You For the First Time (from Saw You For the First Time) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChyJYQgpgrU
Pangea 11.06.22	i will be more involved again this month! finally have my laptop again and not as crazy busy as last couple of weeks
ArsMoriendi 11.06.22	"Once Upon the Sea of Blissful Awareness" Ambient so far. Unexpected vocals that feel almost trip hopish. Pretty chill. 3.5/5 "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" A slow buildup, but I like where it leads a bit. Kind of proggy for a glam band, but I guess that's not surprising. Oh, damn a fakeout ending! 3.4/5
Vercetti 11.06.22	1. Defacto Symphony – Doesn’t seem very original, but still a good intro for a month full of British songs – 3.0 2. Museum – This song is made for other people than me. I guess I would need something harder. I don’t mind the song, it’s just not for me – 2.5 3. River – Well, this is harder than Museum. The vocals get a bit too screamy, but the music is fine – 3.5
fogza 11.07.22	5. Shpongle : Once Upon The Sea of Blissful Awareness - Always wondered what Shpongle sounds like. Ok, but also a bit shnew shage shiatsu shclinic. 3
fogza 11.07.22	6. Roxy Music : In every dream home, a heartache - A very creepy, sexy update on the '73 housing market and trends. 3.8
fogza 11.07.22	7. Conflict : The Serenade is Dead - Decent slice of custard punk tart. 3.4
fogza 11.07.22	"Fogza tell me you write poems" eg, honestly who hasn't written poems at some stage of their life (usually teens and 20's let's be honest)? I never really kept my stash of bad poetry though.
fogza 11.07.22	60% filled up, let's push let's publicize omg someone actually wants to hear a british song i like FOR FREE? sign me up and take my britches!
Pangea 11.07.22	1. Defacto Symphony - fun chaos yeah. 3.3 2. Museum - love this kind of 60s style pop. 4.3 3. River - Album is really overrated around this part. Just doesn't have enough to justify its melodrama. 2.8 4. Fresh as a sweet Sunday morning - very pretty i like. 4.2 5. Once Upon The Sea Of Blissful Awareness - this is nice & chill good stuff. 4.0 6. in every dream home, a heartache - not bad but kinda boring sometimes. 3.0 7. The Serenade is Dead -good punk, i like the riffs. 3.5
Vercetti 11.07.22	4. Fresh As A Sweet Sunday Morning – It’s a guy with an acoustic guitar song. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – 3.0 5. Once Upon The Sea Of Blissful Awareness – I had to look up what genre this even is. Wikipedia calls it Psybient (Psychedelic Trance/Ambient). I guess that makes sense. I’ve never heard something similar before, so that’s pretty cool. Bonus points for that flute – 4.0 6. In Every Dream Home a Heartache – Mesmerizing vocals. Only the ‘But you blew my mind’ sounded a bit awkward – 3.5
DadKungFu 11.07.22	5. Shpongle - I can smell the incense on this track, but nice overall, especially the vocals. Very of its time, but kind of in a good way. 3.6 6. Roxy Music - Probably my favorite RM track, deeply creepy and evocative, and manages to be a bit cheeky with the transition to the second half which rules 4.3 7. Conflict - Oh god, what a nostalgia blast. Used to be my favorite band in my anarcho punk days, still have the Ungovernable Force on wax. Plus .5 for nostalgia points, but was never my favorite of theirs 3.7
garas 11.07.22	> honestly who hasn't written poems at some stage of their life (usually teens and 20's let's be honest)? Like, I never did. Probably because I'd feel embarrassed about my depressive tendencies. (Noone asked, I know, sorry-sorry.)
fogza 11.07.22	"Probably because I'd feel embarrassed about my depressive tendencies." you should write poetry, i'd say 35% of poetry exists purely because of depressive tendencies
Egarran 11.07.22	>eg, honestly who hasn't written poems at some stage of their life Indeed, except mine were mostly occult metal lyrics. I sense you can go deeper and you should consider restarting your career as a poet. Maybe do a collab with garas; he has the mind, but needs the support.
Divaman 11.07.22	4. Bert Jansch - Nice guitar intro. OK vocal. 3.6 5. Schpongle - Gradual intro to 7-minute-plus song. Transition into pulsing beat w/female vocal and low-key electronic stylings. A little flute to close out. 3.0 6. Roxy Music - Gotta love Bryan Ferry. Not his best work, though. Very repetitive until more than halfway through. 2.7 7. Conflict - Subversive bass intro, energetic number. Acceptable vocal. 3.2
Egarran 11.07.22	The rec: Miranda Sex Garden - Cover My Face https://youtu.be/Kyl0r7ko26M Gothic/Folk/Medieval/Industrial, so arch-british.
fogza 11.08.22	8. Ultravox: Lament - I've only given one album a go from Midge and the gang, and it didn't work for me, but this song is making me think I need to try again. Blocky, primitive and yet also graceful and elegaic 4.2
fogza 11.08.22	"Maybe do a collab with garas; he has the mind, but needs the support." Sadly I have done too much damage to that relationship by brutalizing his SOTD picks
garas 11.08.22	No hard feelings from my side, I know my taste and choices are abysmal. But the world will stay a better place without my poetic writings.
fogza 11.09.22	9. Meat Beat Manifesto: Think Fast - I don't compute. 2.5
Divaman 11.09.22	9. Meat Beat Manifesto - Silence followed by a chunky beat and a kind of in-your-face vocal. A bit of noise. Mid-speed but fairly aggressive. Not so much my thing. Weird fade-out ending. 2.7
fogza 11.10.22	10. Jessie Ware: Soul Control - I dunno why, but I didn't love this album the way everyone else did. The main synthline here irritates me, otherwise it's an ok track. 2.5
fogza 11.10.22	Sorry dedex, can't win 'em all
fogza 11.10.22	lol looking at that jessie ware album and the overall rating, i think it's probably me that has the taste deficiency
Vercetti 11.10.22	7. The Serenade is Dead – It’s early in the morning right now and this angry punk rock seems to have a similar effect as drinking coffee, so thanks – 3.5 8. Lament – Not really a fan, but the video and the song go well together. The bad video quality even helps, making this feel more nostalgic – 3.0 9. Think Fast – What’s 99% of 5? I can’t figure it out. I guess, I’m not thinking fast enough. Therefore I will just use the idle rating for this industrial song – 3.0
DadKungFu 11.10.22	8. Ultravox - deep cut 80s balladry, a well-done example of a style that isn't my thing 3.1 9. Meat Beat Manifesto - EBM that goes hard, from my favorite MBM album 3.8 10. Jessie Ware - 80s nostalgia, fun, decent song despite not being super memorable 3/5
Divaman 11.10.22	10. Jessie Ware - Dancy electronic intro. Very pop. 3.1
Divaman 11.11.22	11. The Stranglers - Good, rocky intro. Gruff vocals. Decent. 3.0
Divaman 11.12.22	12. Massive Attack - Electronic claps and female vocal. Subdued but nice. 3.4
DadKungFu 11.13.22	11. The Stranglers - Solid punky pisshead anthem, 3.5
Divaman 11.13.22	13. Lower Than Atlantis - Energetic opening. Not much to it, though. 2.9
fogza 11.14.22	11. The Stranglers: Bitching - Nice opening, like the bass. Pretty good, I've never really gotten into these guys but it's not a bad track. 3.5
fogza 11.14.22	12. Massive Attack: Paradise - Underrated album, I'm one of those minority listeners who prefers this to their pre-Mezzanine output. Actually I should jam this album more. 4
fogza 11.14.22	13. Lower Than Atlantis: (Motor) Way Of Life - Really generic. It's ok I guess. 2.7
fogza 11.14.22	14. Queen: Hammer to Fall - I view Queen as a formative band I liked when I was a teenager, until I got sick of their hits and developed an aversion to their overblowness. However, they do still have some absolute rippers and this happens to be one I still dig. 3.8
Vercetti 11.14.22	10. Soul Control – 80s nostalgia at it okayest – 3.0 11. Bitching – I would like the music to be a bit harder. I think the vocals would work better with harder guitar riffs. Besides that it’s a good punk song – 3.5 12. Paradise Circus – Not bad, but also not my preferred style of music – 3.0
Divaman 11.14.22	14. Queen - Not my favorite band. This one is mediocre. 2.8
fogza 11.15.22	15. Jen Ledger: Not dead yet - Almost feel like I should apologise to Lower than Atlantis for calling their song generic. 2.5
fogza 11.15.22	It has come to my attention that we are still 10 songs short with only 5 days runway. Clearly a fatigued sputnik is concentrating on unimportant shit like holidays, families, getting through the year, etc etc. So I open things up to second recs (or firsts if you're reading this and still dithering on which sugababes deep cut to rec).
Vercetti 11.15.22	13. (Motor)way of Life – Yeah, I agree with fogza: This is generic – 3.0 14. Hammer to Fall – I’m not a huge Queen fan and don’t know a lot of their songs (besides the big hits of course), but it’s undeniable that those guys were very talented. Hammer to Fall doesn’t get me the same way a ‘We Will Rock You’ or an ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ gets me, but it is still a good song though – 3.5 15. Not Dead Yet – I actually thought the whole time she’s American, just because she’s in Skillet. I guess I was wrong. Dedex is right: It sounds like something from 2004, but I don’t see that as a criticism. My only problem is that the song really needs some cool guitar riffs to give it more power – 3.5
Pangea 11.15.22	8. Lament - nice & atmospheric 80s shit. like it a lot. 4.0 9. Think Fast - not one of the most interesting tracks on the album tbh. 3.0 10. Soul Control - hell yeah let's dance! 4.2
Pangea 11.15.22	í'm really the only one who gave soul control above a 3.1? remind me to never party with you guys
Divaman 11.15.22	15. Ledger - Hayley Williams sound-alike. 3.2
Divaman 11.15.22	2nd rec: The Buggles - Elstree from The Age of Plastic album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQiFeTItZwk&list=PLWprWK6AVnu7eSM9NzDkJclQ1KKqjrTdb&index=18 Elstree was a British television and film studio
DadKungFu 11.15.22	12. Massive Attack - great track, haven't heard in years 3.8 13. Lower than Atlantis - pretty good 3.2
fogza 11.15.22	"remind me to never party with you guys" bro when i spin those leonard cohen discs it gets everyone on the dancefloor
SlothcoreSam 11.15.22	2nd rec, Right Said Fred. - I'm...... not going to rec that song instead, the song Right Said Fred by Bernard Cribbins. It's very British. https://youtu.be/vQ6LXJCp9IU
fogza 11.16.22	16. Oasis: Round Are Way - It never ceases to amaze me how little Liam does on stage, but how he makes it look like he's putting in lots of work. It also never ceases to amaze me what a power word "shine" was during the Britpop era. Fairly decent tune. 3.5
fogza 11.17.22	17. Ocean colour scene: Hundred Mile High City - Poor old OCS, never really got the props they deserved. Strong opener here, and some even better tracks down the line on this album. 3.8
DadKungFu 11.17.22	14. Queen - It's cool to hate this band nowadays but I still have a soft spot for them when they're not being too corny. This is one of their better tracks in this vein, solid hard rock with a classic Queen solo 3.6 15. LEDGER - Thought I was going to hate this, and it is Paramore-core but also not too bad for all that 3.2 16. Oasis - It's an Oasis song and it sounds like an Oasis song 3 17. Ocean Color Scene - Pretty strong track, reminds of a mellower QOTSA 3.4
fogza 11.17.22	I would just like to take a brief moment to thank Vercetti and DadKungFu for being stalwart commenters. There are some regulars I'm used to seeing on here and your contributions are always appreciated, but I feel like you guys have been bringing it this month (and Vercetti has been bringing it pretty consistently to be honest). Top class!
Divaman 11.17.22	17. Ocean Colour Scene - Guitar intro with double male vocals. Fairly fast paced. 3.3
DadKungFu 11.17.22	ty fogza, wouldn't do it if it wasn't fun 2nd rec: Underworld - The Hump
Shemson 11.17.22	If we’re getting second recs then let’s have slowthai featuring James Blake - Feel Away Very English
fogza 11.17.22	I've dropped my 2nd rec some "the big music" from the Waterboys with Beverly Penn
fogza 11.18.22	18. Laurence Guy : Saw You For the First Time - Feels very much like music for short social media vids. Pouring that coffee, donning that sweater, walking on the beach. Bored. 2.5
Shemson 11.18.22	Thank you fogza, that is the right song! I’d not seen the video before, mad shit 🤣
Shemson 11.18.22	Good MA take too fogza, I prefer Heligoland and that sick four track EP to all but Mezzanine
Divaman 11.18.22	18. Lawrence Guy - Single electro beat opening, soon with a piano addition. Brief pause, then it starts again. Light jazz beat added, then finally vocal. Smooth. 3.3
DadKungFu 11.18.22	18. Lawrence Guy -Smooth, lightweight, chill. Not a lot of depth to this but still a nice experience 3.5
Vercetti 11.18.22	16. Round Are Way (Live from The White Room) – I don’t get why he’s wearing the parka, but it’s cool that they got one of the Men in Black to play the harmonica. Song is good – 3.5 18. Saw You For the First Time – Smooth, atmospheric, nice – 3.5 “and Vercetti has been bringing it pretty consistently to be honest” Thank you, fogza
neekafat 11.18.22	Has anyone dibsed next month?
fogza 11.18.22	Nope
DadKungFu 11.19.22	19. Test Dept. I feel like this is going to get low ratings from the good folks here but it's one of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite industrial bands 4.6
Divaman 11.19.22	19. Test Department - Too noisy. Keep it dow. 2.9
DadKungFu 11.19.22	Keep it NASDAQ
Vercetti 11.21.22	19. Compulsion – sounds… industrial. Not sure what to make of it. Try adding thrash metal to it and turn this into a Ministry track – 2.5 20. Cover My Face – Creepy song that would’ve fitted even better into the horror themed October sotd. Still really good – 4.0 21. Victory Dance – Nice rhythm. That’s all I have to say. I don’t know anything about jazz (I even had to look it up to confirm to myself that it is actually jazz). Let’s say this could be a 3.5(?) “I feel like this is going to get low ratings from the good folks here but it's one of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite industrial bands” Your prediction holds true. I can see how someone who’s a fan of that genre would enjoy it though.
Vercetti 11.21.22	2nd rec: Nova Twins - Vortex (from Who Are the Girls?) https://youtu.be/BsJI_b2PTQY
fogza 11.21.22	19. Test Dept. : Compulsion - Dry, tense, with great vocals. I appreciate that while it's industrial, it maintains a certain musicality. 3.7
fogza 11.21.22	20. Miranda Sex Garden: Cover my face - Hard to get a handle on this, it's not bad but my theatrics sensor is twitching ever so slightly. 3.4
fogza 11.21.22	21. Ezra Collective: Victory Dance - Great deal of technical flair here, but it's not for me, found the piano solo particularly unfun. 3
fogza 11.21.22	hey dedex i think you skipped a track?
DadKungFu 11.21.22	Sorry for not providing a link to the underworld track fog, if it's not too late here's the version I was going to post https://youtu.be/evpMeUEuqrs
fogza 11.21.22	I've updated, thanks DadKF
DadKungFu 11.21.22	20. Miranda Sex Garden - probably my favorite new discovery this month so far, very dirgey and ominous, haunting vocals. 3.8 21. Ezra Collective - Quite nice, made me want to check out more of this band but not a whole lot of development throughout, nice piano solo though 3.5
fogza 11.21.22	"oh shit thanks the fogzy police is monitoring!!" i am always watching (≖o≖├┬┴┬┴
Divaman 11.21.22	21. Ezra Collective - Lotsa chinging and changing, brass and piano. Pretty nice.3.2
fogza 11.22.22	22. The Buggles: Elstree - Was expecting to hate this but found it an oddly touching ode to a scene. 3.5
Vercetti 11.22.22	22. Elstree - And through that I learned about Elstree. As a movie fan I'm thankful for every piece of trivia I get. Song is an okay 80s tune. The lyrics are the most interesting thing about it - 3.5
fogza 11.23.22	23. Bernard Cribbins: Right Said Fred - dedex pretty much nailed it. 3.2
Divaman 11.23.22	23. Bernard Cribbins - not great. 2.
DadKungFu 11.23.22	22. The Buggles - slightly grating tbh, cloying sentimental sound, cool subject matter though 2.4 23. Bernard Cribbins - silly, not terrible experience 2.9
fogza 11.24.22	24. Underworld: The hump - Yeah I got a bit bored by this about halfway through. 2.5
Pangea 11.24.22	11. Bitching - good punky stuff i like. 3.3 12. Paradise Circus - definitely cool stuff, kinda cool gloomy atmosphere. 4.2 13. Motorway of Life - this is the most generic post hardcore song i have heard in my life. 2.8 14. Hammer to Fall - i like queen and this is a good queen song. 3.8
Vercetti 11.24.22	23. Right Said Fred – What fogza said – 3.0 24. The Hump – Sorry, but I never listen to that again. Very annoying sound (it also breaks the 8 minutes rule) – 2.0
Pangea 11.24.22	15. Not Dead Yet - 16 year old me would go hard for this, but i can't really connect to it anymore. Chorus is very cheesy. 2.5 16. Round are Way - very bluesy for oasis. it's passable. 2.8
fogza 11.25.22	25. Underworld: M.E. - More dated Underworld. Better, but I prefer Primal Scream for this sort of thing. 2.9
fogza 11.25.22	It is sad to post this but does anyone have any last recs to round out the month? I thought we could get by with second recs, but turned out I was wrong
fogza 11.27.22	26. slowthai: feel away - Surprisingly endearing, great little cameo from James Blake, and a pretty striking video. 3.7
Pangea 11.27.22	oh wait lemme think of a second rec quickly
Pangea 11.27.22	Marika Hackman - Ophelia (from We Slept at Last) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htI5dskph_k
fogza 11.28.22	28. Nova Twins: Vortex - This was released in 2020. 2020, people. Let that sink in. 2
Koris 11.28.22	Looks like I was just in time to add a final entry! The Wildhearts - Greetings from Shitsville https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM-iQc3yYQs (the album is Earth vs. The Wildhearts) Really fun hard rock tune, stylistically reminiscent of Manic Street Preachers' glam metal days. Honestly, The Wildhearts in general are very underrated
fogza 11.28.22	YEAH KORIS SAVES THE DAY!
Vercetti 11.28.22	25. M.E. - I like it much more than the previous Underworld track. It works well as the soundtrack to a science fiction film that's happening inside my head - 3.5
Vercetti 11.28.22	26. Feel Away - Good song, very surreal video - 3.5
Vercetti 11.28.22	27. Beverly Penn - "I would set fire to a hundred men" how romantic - 3.0
Vercetti 11.28.22	"This was released in 2020. 2020, people. Let that sink in." I knew you would hate it 😂
Shemson 11.28.22	Yes Koris The Wildhearts rule. Only complaint is I’d have gone for Caffeine Bomb!
Shemson 11.28.22	Also, delighted to see people enjoying slowthai - I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea!
fogza 11.28.22	Actually both Shemson recs have been on the money
fogza 11.29.22	29. Marika Hackman: Ophelia - No frills no fuss 3.5
Vercetti 11.29.22	29. Ophelia - fits my mood right now - 4.0
fogza 11.30.22	30. The Wildhearts: Greetings from Shitsville - Solid if unremarkable hard rock. 3.3
fogza 11.30.22	Last day, hopefully someone will step in to take December. I've reached out to neek but no positive response as yet.
fogza 11.30.22	Thanks again to everyone who participated or gave a rec, I'm glad we didn't have to go thirds rec, for November, I think that's a win! Y'all are the bestest!
Vercetti 11.30.22	30. Greetings from Shitsville - Good song to end the month on - 3.5
Vercetti 11.30.22	@fogza: You are the bestest! Thank you and thanks to everyone else for the good song recommendations!
Pangea 11.30.22	great month all! i will try to finish up later today as well
DadKungFu 12.01.22	Sorry if I'm too late, but I'll give it a go 25. Underworld: 3.9 26. Slowthai: 3.4 27. The Waterboys 3.6 28. Nova Twins 2.7 29. Marika Hackman 3.2 30. The Wildhearts 3.8
Divaman 12.02.22	No list for December?
SlothcoreSam 12.02.22	It's yours for the taking Diva!
fogza 12.02.22	Probably not practical for diva right now, I reached out to neek as there was some interest but I'm guessing life got busy.
Divaman 12.02.22	Oh well. Getting harder and harder and harder to get up here anyway. I've always loved sotd, even when it drove me crazy.
Egarran 12.02.22	This is the way.
Pangea 12.04.22	should i make a list for december still?
Egarran 12.04.22	Yay! I will rec I will rate
ArsMoriendi 12.04.22	Eh it's the 4th...we could just skip December
Vercetti 12.04.22	"should i make a list for december still?" I would participate
DadKungFu 12.04.22	I would too, feel like it's one of those things where if it stops it might be hard starting up again
Divaman 12.04.22	I'm no longer able to participate every day, but I'll certainly make you a rec.
Trifolium 12.05.22	I would do it Pan, it's always nice to follow these, even if I don't listen and rate any more.
Pangea 12.05.22	okay i will! i have a very busy day though so i can only do it when i get home in the evening (although if amyone else would like to host, it would be okay to make a list yourself instead)
Egarran 12.05.22	>even if I don't listen and rate any more. Damn, this sounds like a conscious decision.
Pangea 12.07.22	17. this is fun! 3.5 19. i feel like this is the stuff cool people listen too, i am not that cool. 2.7 20. lovely vocals! 4.0 21. this does make me want to move 4.2 22. lovely pop song i like the vocal melodies. 3.7 23. eh 2.0 24. mom why does my club banger have weird screaming (bass lick things are super nice). 3.0 25. okay this nicer, i love the bass again. 4.0
Pangea 12.07.22	i will finish this!
Pangea 12.07.22	it does seem like it ega :(
Pangea 12.12.22	26. Feel Away - pretty nice i guess, i like blake's vocals. The back instrumentation felt kinda repetitive though. 3.0 27. Beverly Penn - Nice piano, but felt kinda plain otherwise. 3.0 28. Vortex - this is chaos and i can appreciate that i think. 3.3 30. Greetings from Shitsville - Vocalist weirdly kinda reminds of the guy from smash mouth. kinda fun anyway. 3.3
Pangea 12.12.22	will do a final update of the month later today :)
