ArsMoriendi: August 2019 Songs of the Day

ArsMoriendi 08.01.19	I don't feel like doing the spreadsheet right now, can someone help lol I'm lazy
budgie 08.01.19	i still gotta listen to some from last month feel like i could win this easy by just saying mazzy star - fade into you right? i am not submitting that though
JustJoe. 08.01.19	none of you guys & gals like what i love so good luck to all those involved
JustJoe. 08.01.19	iâ€™d throw a 4.5+ on that track easy budgie
Divaman 08.01.19	I'll rec Gary Numan - "My Name Is Ruin" from the album Savage (Songs From a Broken World) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHomCiPFknY&list=PLWprWK6AVnu7eSM9NzDkJclQ1KKqjrTdb&index=32&t=0s
SlothcoreSam 08.01.19	How does a sloth pander to a bunch of sput savages? Underworld - Born Slippy That's how! It's on the Trainspotting soundtrack, or on 1992-2002 by Underworld. https://youtu.be/Nf4uiRr78dU
budgie 08.01.19	omg i used to jam that soundtrack so often. memoriesssss. you rulez
Minushuman24 08.01.19	pandering eh? The Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd I don't see how anyone could dislike this track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVBCE3gaNxc
Trifolium 08.01.19	Omg Sloth Underworlddddddddd < 3333 Fun theme Ars! Let's see...
Trifolium 08.01.19	What the hell was I thinking? Duh! Best track ever: Portishead - Glory Box https://youtu.be/c417rIku6Iw
garas 08.01.19	May I ask for some help about the description of pandering? I'm confused.
Trifolium 08.01.19	The Cambridge Dictionary says: ''to please other people by doing or saying what you think they want you to do or say: She accused the other candidate of pandering to radical environmental groups.'' So please us with what you think will please us the most.
Metalrain 08.01.19	Idk how to pander so here is some weird groovy song y'all need in your life Talking Heads - Crosseyed and Painless(From remain in light) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z92avHmgDRA
garas 08.01.19	Oh! Thank you so much Trifo! I have to think about it what song should I rec then :]
Trifolium 08.01.19	Omg yeah the Heads so need to be here Metalrain. Agreed. This is already becoming a great month. Curious what you pick garas!
ArsMoriendi 08.01.19	Updated the doc :P
Metalrain 08.02.19	Paranoid Android: This song is always a jam. 4.2 My Name Is Ruin: This is also a jam, but a little too predictable. 3.8
ArsMoriendi 08.02.19	"My Name Is Ruin" Very industrial opening. The vocals are autotuned? Hmm I don't like that. The beat is cool though. Clearly, this is inspired by NIN's Downward Spiral, which is neat because Trent Reznor was inspired by Numan's early work. It reminds me of "Closer" a lot, but less sexual I suppose. Kinda derivative, but still good. 3.4/5
SlothcoreSam 08.02.19	Paranoid Android, 4.1. 80% of this song is God-slapping good. My Name Is Ruin, 3.6. it's a little industrial, a little synth-pop, and a whole lot of NIN sounding. Gazza looks good for a 60 year old. Not quite pandering as hard as half of NIN's catalogue would. But still was a good listen.
Divaman 08.02.19	Radiohead - 3.9 - Good song.
Divaman 08.02.19	On "My Name Is Ruin," the girl is Numan's daughter, who was about 11 at the time of the song/video. When I saw him live, she came out and sang it with him. The little girl has a big voice.
SlothcoreSam 08.02.19	Only 11, that's crazy. She looks and sounds a lot older.
Trifolium 08.02.19	Paranoid Android: Great track, but it isn't even near one of my faves by them. Still, when you hear this live something clicks and you want it to never end. 4.5 My Name Is Ruin: This was cool. You've got guts reccing something other than a track with an undisputably good reputation. 3.5 Born Slippy: How's that for pandering!? The best entry man, oof. Still gets whole fields of people extatic, and will do so forevermore. 5.0 The Great Gig In The Sky: Yup, another classic. Spacey, progressive goodness. 5.0 Crosseyed And Painless: Might be their best album, the hype is justified. Stone cold classic. 5.0
Trifolium 08.02.19	How weird, some of these are from the future...
budgie 08.02.19	ur mom is from the future
Trifolium 08.02.19	In that case I am from the future too, right? Cool! Super sad I can't premember anything though...
Divaman 08.03.19	Yeah, I was kind of pandering to me on that one. But I figured that many of you would like it, too.
Trifolium 08.03.19	It's cool, agreed! Great atmosphere.
garas 08.03.19	Alright, I know what to rec for you guys! The Rolling Stones - "(Here It Comes Your) 19th Nervous Breakdown" https://youtu.be/DEseb6-hssc (from the 1989 Singles Collection: The London Years) My most favourite Stones song ever. Catchy as hell, and contains one of Keith's best riffs.
garas 08.03.19	"Paranoid Android" - I never was so into Radiohead, but it is nice song. 3.3 "My Name Is Ruin" - Not my thing. 2.4 "Born Slippy" - Same. 2.4 I'm not that grumpy as my ratings!
budgie 08.03.19	grumpy magyar
Papa Universe 08.03.19	The Saints - Know Your Product No description needed. https://youtu.be/oBpbpjHCvrU
Divaman 08.03.19	Underworld - 3.1 - OK, but pretty repetitive.
ArsMoriendi 08.04.19	"Born Slippy" This sure is some hardcore dance music. I know this and it's good enough I suppose, but not too original or engaging outside of a dance club or the movie's context. 3/5 "The Great Gig in the Sky" Well, this is a certified brilliant track. Claire Tony's voice is powerful and the guitar is so bluesy and pretty. And of course, that piano that persists is haunting in a great way. This some does make me think of heaven too, so the intention works perfectly as well. 4.8/5
Divaman 08.04.19	Pink Floyd - 4.4 - Not one of my top favorite Floyd tracks, but pretty great nonetheless.
SlothcoreSam 08.05.19	The great gig in the sky. Slow start, what's that wretched squealing, sounds like someone's stepping on a cat. Instrumentation on this is great, but it's not for me. 2.6
Divaman 08.05.19	Portishead - 2.4 - I've never liked this band, and I still don't. (Also, my policy is to never rate a song higher than 2.5 when it features a bass line that even I can play.) OK, that's not really my policy. I just made that up on the spot.
ian b 08.05.19	gonna check these all soon, if you need another pandering August song, check "Star Shopping" by Lil Peep on YouTube (it's from LiL PEEP Part One but the tape is a lot harder to find nowadays besides certain standout tracks ala star shopping)
Trifolium 08.05.19	Nooooooo Diva I'm actually cryingggggg :-((((
budgie 08.05.19	alright i decided matt uelmen - diablo 2 ost - tristram https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XheJnmLAwhk
Metalrain 08.05.19	Born Slippy: Don't really like the vocals, alright track. 3.0 The Great Gig in the Sky: Good track, but one of the weakest on dark side for me. The vocals just don't grab me and get kinda gratting. 3.5 Glory box: Simple but effective. 4.0
Divaman 08.05.19	Sorry about that, Tri. Different strokes and all that.
Trifolium 08.05.19	No prob, that Eurythmics track from last month was awesome so it's all good.
Divaman 08.05.19	I'm, pleased that you liked it.
SlothcoreSam 08.06.19	Glory Box, 4.6. Well this is just a classic. I was listening to this album last week and it still holds up great. Would love a James Blake/Portishead colab
budgie 08.06.19	radiohead - paranoid android 1.0 gary numan - my name is ruin 1.0 underworld - born slippy 3.5 thanks for reccing this brought me back good shit son, good shit, good shit pink floyd - great gig in the sky 5.0 portishead - glorybox 2.0 guess who didn't like this budgie didn't talking head - crosseyed and painless 1.5 the rolling stones - 19th nervous breakdown 4.5? the saints - know your product 1.5
Trifolium 08.06.19	NO BUDGIE! PORTISHEAD IS MY PELICAN! ! ! ! >:-(
budgie 08.06.19	love u
Trifolium 08.06.19	All of this is so confusing. Hardest 5.0 in history!
ArsMoriendi 08.06.19	budgieâ€™s ratings scare me Who the fuck hates Glory Box?
SlothcoreSam 08.06.19	Crosseyed and painless. 4.0 There is a lot going on here. If you added a heap of distortion to the guitars and bass, it would be extremely relevant now. Great song.
budgie 08.06.19	if you don't take my ratings into consideration i won't be upset i know i'm kinda retarded
DungeonBoy 08.06.19	I don't like Radiohead other than Paranoid Android. The video helps a lot with my enjoyment of the song. Really perfect marriage of music and animation.
Trifolium 08.06.19	And the combination hates Glory Box-hates Crosseyed and Painless is even more scarce. At least I hope :-O
Divaman 08.06.19	The Talking Heads - 3.2 - The Talking Heads are alright, and so is the song.
Minushuman24 08.06.19	1. Paranoid Android - Radiohead - A solid choice I'd say, but this track has always been super middle of the pack for me. It wears on my super hard after just a few plays, and now it's one I always skip, but still a great song. 3.5 2. My Name Is Ruin - Gary Numan - Never would have thought that post "cars" Numan would be considered a pandering choice, but alrighty. I believe he played a lot of this when I saw him a year or two ago. But that's okay, because as it was pointed out in this thread already, it is very NIN influenced. And I am a slut for NIN. 3.4 3. Born Slippy - Underworld - I've never seen Trainspotting. But I really enjoyed the first 1:45 of this. 3.2 5. Glory Box - Portishead - This is the best Portishead track, and really it's not even remotely close. I really don't see how it can get any sort of mixed reaction, it's such a sultry track. Fuck. 4.8 6. Crosseyed and Painless - Talking Heads - I need to spend more time with the talking heads, I always say I'm going to and I don't. This is just a really nice jam, reminds me of bowie a bit. 3.9
Trifolium 08.06.19	This is quickly turning from great-songs-with-through-the-roof-ratings into what-is-happening month. I'm sure there will be 'classics' that don't do it for me later on. EDIT: I wrote this before you posted those ratings Minus, of course that Portishead rating is < 3
Minushuman24 08.06.19	Fuck it, I'm gonna do the rest of the songs cause lord knows I won't do them later on. 7. (Here It Comes Your) 19th Nervous Breakdown - The Rolling Stones - Is this an early stones song? because this is so much better than a lot of the mediocre music they were putting out at the time. 3.9 8. Eternally You - The Saints - I dig the riff in this a lot, it's got that early punk/hard rock feel to it. All of this is pretty standard for the genre at the time, and I think I'd listen to this on morning drives to class alongside Richard Hell and Mott the Hoople. 3.7
Minushuman24 08.06.19	It's so good. Alright, I'm just going to get my second rec out of the way. It as been an entire year since I joined the song of the day thread! And because of that I'm going to just rec my first song I rec'd, because most people weren't here for that and this song is still the second greatest song ever made Halah - Mazzy Star https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzWYUomBpwg
budgie 08.06.19	"halah - mazzy star" it's literally my favorite song of all time so a clean 5 here
Trifolium 08.06.19	Yeah I can live with that too, Mazzies discog is entering the higher regions of my rankings lately.
budgie 08.06.19	so proud of you trif cry
Trifolium 08.06.19	Haha, it's all up to them, amazing band. It's getting more and more perplexing to me how they manage to pull that sound off with such a big effect. I really don't get why it works so well, what it is about them that makes them special (eew nasty word).
budgie 08.06.19	you talkng abuot mazzy or portishead
Trifolium 08.06.19	Mazzy
ArsMoriendi 08.07.19	"Glory Box" Only like my 6th favorite song on Dummy, but Dummy is a hard 5 soooo. Beautiful strings, emotional vocals, and catchy hip hop drums. How could someone not love this? She's exhausted from trying to find love (isn't that relatable?) THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF FOREVER AND EVER! 4.8/5 "Crosseyed and Painless" This is actually my favorite Talking Heads song, and they're one of my favorite bands, so that says a lot. Afrobeat influenced funk, a deep thumping bass, cowbell heavy percussion. Weird lyrics about being paranoids about facts. CHANGING MY SHAPE, I FEEL LIKE AN ACCIDENT! His falsettos are so airy and fun. STILL WAITING HA HA HA. So many iconic lyrics in this song. The dude even pulls off early 80s rapping well somehow. FACTS ARE SIMPLE FACTS ARE STRAIGHT, FACTS ARE LAZY, FACTS ARE LAME, FACTS DON'T COME WITH POINTS OF VIEW, FACTS DON'T DO WHAT I WANT THEM TO, FACT JUST TWIST TRUTH AROUND, FACTS ARE LIVING TURNED INSIDE OUT, FACTS ARE GETTING THE BEST OF THEM, FACTS ARE NOTHING ON THE FACT OF THINGS. Best track of the month so far. 5/5
SlothcoreSam 08.07.19	Settle down Mr Moriendi.
Divaman 08.07.19	The Rolling Stones - 4.0 - not in their top echelon for my taste, but still a damned fine song.
Divaman 08.07.19	Hey Ars, you missed the Lil Peep and Diablo 2 entries. For my second pick of August, I'll still pander to me, but I'll hopefully pander to you guys more, too. The pick is Nirvana - Sliver (from Incesticide), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QECJ9pCyhns&list=PLWprWK6AVnu7eSM9NzDkJclQ1KKqjrTdb&index=11&t=0s
budgie 08.07.19	ars moriendi you forgot to add my submission
budgie 08.07.19	"Nirvana - Sliver" you know i never tried to jam nirvana before mostly because the smells like teen spirit track annoyed me so much in high school also that was the first song i ever played live and i sucked but i was like 14 years old but this reminds me of flipper and i love flipper to death i will give this a 4.5 because it rules thanks for making me listen to this diva
Divaman 08.07.19	You're most welcome, Budgie. Glad you enjoyed it. And pleased to have effectively pandered.
Metalrain 08.07.19	Getting a 1 and a 5 for talking heads what the hell is going on in here. 19th Nervous Breakdown: I've actually been trying to get into the stones since last week so this is right up my alley. Songs kinda basic but so much fun. 4.0
Trifolium 08.07.19	That's more like it Ars! And "Only like my 6th favorite song on Dummy" is true too, how insanely good is that album!!? (/band)
budgie 08.07.19	treeefoliuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum
budgie 08.07.19	i get jealous when you talk to other people
Trifolium 08.07.19	Hi budgie. I had to get used to that feeling too but it'll make us stronger in the long run I guess. You made me listen to that Diablo soundtrack before right? I remember liking it but I've never played the game hmmm weird...
ArsMoriendi 08.07.19	Iâ€™ll add the ones I missed later today.
budgie 08.07.19	hmm maybe trif, it's a magical track that one
Divaman 08.07.19	You're a good man, ArsMoriendi.
Minushuman24 08.07.19	Diablo soundtrack rules. Game fucking rules too. So good.
Trifolium 08.07.19	Are we doing second recs already by the way? Because I've been listening to so much Kate and this list is made for her so I can't wait to rec Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) https://youtu.be/wp43OdtAAkM It grabs you and never ever lets you go. That programmed beat, those melodies and that build up. Kate knows.
Minushuman24 08.07.19	It's about time I've actually heard a Kate Bush song. Isn't that the song Placebo covered? Or am I thinking of something else
Trifolium 08.07.19	Yup it is. That album, Hounds Of Love, is so amazing man. I hope you like it.
SlothcoreSam 08.07.19	2nd rec time. Need to pander to not only trif this time. Echo & the Bunnymen- The Killing Moon. https://youtu.be/LWz0JC7afNQ
Minushuman24 08.07.19	That's a top ten song for me. Easy 5.
Trifolium 08.07.19	Haha, I would have given Underworld a 10/5 if I could, so as far as I'm concerned you picked very wisely. (I've never heard an Echo & The Bunnymen song, is that weird?)
SlothcoreSam 08.07.19	There is no way you haven't heard Killing Moon.
Papa Universe 08.07.19	"I've never heard an Echo & The Bunnymen song, is that weird?" I wasn't going to frequent this thread as much this month, but these words have shaken me to my very core even through the digital barrier. You are the kind of weird even the atheist parents tell kids is sinful.
Minushuman24 08.07.19	yea that's pretty weird man
Trifolium 08.07.19	YES! Well, we'll see when the time is ripe.
Divaman 08.07.19	Oh man, we've got some nice pander songs coming up with the Kate Bush and Echo & the Bunnymen songs. I'll relisten before I score them, but you're pandering right up my alley there, especially with the Echo song.
Divaman 08.07.19	August rules.
SlothcoreSam 08.07.19	LOL, papa schooling trif on essential post punk.
SlothcoreSam 08.07.19	7. 19th Nervous Breakdown. 3.6 one of the better Rolling Stones songs I've heard, a little bit repetitive, would have been great as a 2 minute song. 8. Know Your Product. 4.6. One of the best voices in early punk, adding the horn section was a great way to differentiate this album from (I'm ) Stranded. I've heard so many renditions of this song from up and coming Aussie punk/ska bands. This had a major influence on the Australian punk scene.
Trifolium 08.07.19	Haha, I'm not at all at home in post punk land, I've got much to learn still. Looking forward to it!
Papa Universe 08.07.19	if only someone had made a series of lists dedicated to the lesser known albums in the genre...
ArsMoriendi 08.08.19	Updated
SlothcoreSam 08.08.19	Thanks, looking like a very strong month.
Trifolium 08.08.19	Best PR talk ever
garas 08.08.19	It is so good to see you having so much fun, and I'm really glad you enjoyed that Stones song! I'll catch up next week, I promise!
garas 08.08.19	And since I see some more recs are needed, here is my second one: River Tiber - West https://youtu.be/sRsoE8q5sE8 A melancholic and relaxing song. You probably wouldn't expect this from me, haha.
Divaman 08.08.19	The Saints - 3.5 - Wasn't familiar with it before this, but it rocks nicely.
Divaman 08.09.19	Mazzy Star - 2.9 - Saw these guys live once opening for somebody or other, and the only thing I remember about their set was the guy behind me exclaiming about halfway through their set, "Could these guys be any more boring?!" It was kind of mean, but I agreed more than not.
ArsMoriendi 08.09.19	"19th Nervous Breakdown" Very 60s rock, without any sort of tricks or gimmicks. Fine, but not interesting enough for me to give it any high score. 3/5 "Know Your Product" This guy sounds like he's trying to be Iggy Pop vocally. Very straightforward again... nothing unique here either. I mean there are trumpets, but still, they're meh. 2.6/5 "Halah" I recently made a list of 15 of my all-time favorite songs to share with a friend and this was my #8 on said list. Her gloomy vocals and yearning are at an all-time perfect. The simple folky acoustic guitar might be bland by itself, but when mixed with that countrified electric guitar, the tambourine and that simple it creates this miserable (syrupy?) sentimental dream vibe that makes me wanna lay on my bed staring at the wall. Songs like these make me wish I wasn't single. heh... 5/5
ArsMoriendi 08.09.19	I decided that I'm not going to put scores on the list since they're already visible on the drive sheet. Too lazy.
Divaman 08.09.19	Wow. Shows how different we all are. I'd have never expected Mazzy to get a 5 for that song.
ArsMoriendi 08.09.19	It's the best song on She Hangs Brightly and better than anything on So Tonight That I Might See
budgie 08.09.19	in your opinion
budgie 08.09.19	as of my just recent edit running up that hill is winning with an average of 5.0
Minushuman24 08.10.19	I'm so happy you love that song Ars, I was excited to see it get a 4.9 last year And the fuck diva you saw mazzy star, I need to see them
ArsMoriendi 08.10.19	Yeah, it only grew
Divaman 08.10.19	I think I saw the German Mazzy Star tonight, opening for Bryan Ferry.
budgie 08.10.19	i love bryan ferry so much
Divaman 08.10.19	He still sounds pretty damned good, and he had a terrific band backing him up.
budgie 08.10.19	he's playing near me at the end of this month. i shooooooould see him up
Divaman 08.10.19	Lil Peep - 2.0 - Totally not my thing.
Divaman 08.11.19	Matt Uelmen - 2.7 - interesting in parts, but feels all over the place.
Trifolium 08.11.19	I want to play catch up here but I won't be able to for a few more days. Please know that I'm with you in my thoughts
budgie 08.11.19	ty truffle
ArsMoriendi 08.11.19	"Star Shopping" Weird/bad production, overly simplistic acoustic guitar, a trap beat. Ew emo rap is bad. Hate this. 1.5/5 "Tristram" The complex and prog metally opening is a bit nerdy for me, but I do like the cello. It does create a cool background ambiance and since it's video game soundtrack music, I suppose that means it's doing its job well. The flutes are neat too. As video game music, I actually quite enjoy this. I wouldn' go out of my way to check this kinda stuff out, but it's refreshing actually. 3.6/5
SlothcoreSam 08.13.19	Halah, 3.7. Pretty little number, Hope has a great voice, it's as close to country that i can tolerate. Star Shopping, 3.2, better than what i was expecting, but still not demanding a repeat listen. Tristram, 3.4.great background music, but i would not actively listen to this.
budgie 08.13.19	my 2nd rec: Too Young To Go Steady - Video Hits idk if it will get much love from the regulars here but it's a pretty easy track. from the only album that makes me happy anymore
Divaman 08.13.19	Kate Bush - 4.2 - Yep, that's a good one.
garas 08.13.19	Huuuuge catch-up: "The Great Gig in the Sky" - Clearly not the best song from them (imo), but still great! 3.5 "Glory Box" - One of the most overrated songs ever. Not bad, but I never liked that much, and it is a way too long song. (But my gf loves it.) 3.2 "Crosseyed and Painless" - Great bass line, catchy song. 3.4 "Know Your Product" - Not the most memorable song ever, but this is not bad. 2.6 "Halah" - Mmmm, not really my taste. 2.3 "Star Shopping" - I hate it, just as bad as the artist's name. 1.1 "Tristram" - budgie always have great recs!! I knew this track, but haven't heard it in a while, so it felt extra great. Nice! 4.2 "Sliver" - I have a weakpoint for Nirvana, I like this song. Just like at "Tristram", I haven't heard it in a while, so it was nice. 3.6 "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)" - Well, nothing memorable. 2.5
Trifolium 08.13.19	garas I'm cryingggggg!!!!!
ArsMoriendi 08.13.19	"Sliver" Great bass line. Kurt's goofy yet sad and angsty personality is so appealing here. Grandma take me home! It's about abandonment issues... so fun! 3.8/5 "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)" Don't pander to me with Kate Bush, that's my job! X( This song rules and all, but there's like 7 songs on Hounds of Love that are better. Seriously, if you wanna pander, you should've picked Cloudbusting, everyone cums from that song. See I love this song though, the idea of wanting to switch bodies with your partner to better understand them is so pure and sweet. The instrumentation is SO stereotypically 80s, more so than the rest of the album, which is probably the worst thing about it, but hey people sure love the 80s don't they? The entire genres of chillave and vaporwave are pretty much 80s worship. Regardless, the drums are simple, but memorable and keep the song going forward in an intense, yet poppy way. An amazing way to open the album with a super memorable premise, chorus, drums, and synths. 4.9/5
Trifolium 08.13.19	Haha, you ask pander and I'll pander! I remember you saying that, RUTH being far from your fave on Hounds, but there's other people's tastes I've got to deal with too! This is haaaarrdd! I think Hello Earth or Cloudbusting or RUTH is my fave on Hounds.
ArsMoriendi 08.13.19	@budgie: Youtube/bandcamp/spotify/soundcloud etc link or I won't put it up
budgie 08.13.19	ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
budgie 08.13.19	https://tooyoungtogosteady.bandcamp.com/track/video-hits
budgie 08.13.19	damn divaman really tanked the average on my tristram track shakes fist
Divaman 08.13.19	Hey, at least I gave you a 2.7. That's 1.7 higher than YOU gave my fine Gary Numan song, sir.
JohnnyoftheWell 08.13.19	Late_to_the_party but I already know half the tracks here so should be an easy catchup! My rec is as classic as they come tbh Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia (from Sister) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf2qYa8c-cA Just one of the most beautiful things to come out of the noise or alt scene.
Divaman 08.13.19	So here's the story on that Nirvana song. I remember Cobain talking about it in an interview one time. (Could have been on MTV's Storytellers, but I think it was earlier than that.) The song is about an actual day that Kurt remembered when his parents were going out that they left him his grandmother and Grandpa Joe. Grandpa Joe had some mental health issues, and might have even had one floating eye -- in any event, Kurt was a little kid, and Grandpa Joe looked crazy and scary, and Kurt was scared shitless of him. And that's what all the "Grandma, take me home's, and her telling him to stop his crying and go outside and ride his bike was about. In my head, I always hear the chorus as, "Grandma take me, Grandma take me home, don't want to be alone with crazy Grandpa Joe."
budgie 08.13.19	"That's 1.7 higher than YOU gave my fine Gary Numan song, sir." my votes are weighted differently!
Divaman 08.13.19	Not in my heart, they're not.
Divaman 08.13.19	Actually, (SPOILER ALERT), unless something really amazing happens, that Gary Numan song looks like it's going to finish at #3 in my Top Songs of the Decade list.
budgie 08.13.19	gary should write some Numaterial SCHWING
Divaman 08.13.19	Ouch! I should take another .2 off your Tristram for that one.
budgie 08.13.19	Lil Peep - Star Shopping: lol. 1.0 Kate Bush - 5.0 ITS MEEE IM KATHYYY IM COME HOOOOOOME NOOW Echo and the Bunnymen - the killing moon - 4.0 i have a huge soft spot for this type of music. thanks! gothic vampire vibes and shit Alice in Chains - Nutshellâ€”well that was super lame 2.0 River Tiber - West ft. Daniel Caesarâ€”fitting that an artist named River Tiber colabs with an artist named Caesar. 1.0 Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia - you know this is the very first time i've ever listened to Sonic Youth? sounds like neutered punk, 2.0
Divaman 08.14.19	Echo & the Bunnymen - 4.7 - Yeah, now you're hitting the sweet spot.
budgie 08.14.19	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLOCcmNNmc0
ArsMoriendi 08.14.19	budgie is so harsh on like everything, damn "ITS MEEE IM KATHYYY IM COME HOOOOOOME NOOW" Different Kate bush song
garas 08.14.19	Ouch, that 1.0 indicates that I'll fail horribly with that song :\|
budgie 08.14.19	"Different Kate bush song" no shit cheeseball god damn arse butthead no wonder you're single
garas 08.14.19	"The Killing Moon" - Not bad, I was probably in the right mood for this, unlike most of the time. 3.5
SlothcoreSam 08.14.19	Sliver, 3.7. Kurt showcasing his vocal skills here. Great build up, and catchy tune. Running up that hill. 3.5, good but too much downtime on this one. If you cut out some of it, added a bit more loudness, distortion and speed towards the end, then it would be classic. Nutshell, 3. So that didn't pander to me much at all. I've listened to this album throughout the years but never got into it, i think it's just a bit boring.
Divaman 08.15.19	Alice in Chains - 3.6 - I like it. Kind of moody and cool.
ArsMoriendi 08.15.19	"The Killing Moon" So this is a famous post-punk song. Twinkly piano, deep bass, the guitar is acoustic? Something about this song is just so damn boring. If it weren't so famous, I'd argue that there's nothing unique about this song at all, but technically this is the song I'd compare the sea of boring post-punk to and not the other way around. "Damn this generic 2007 post-punk group just sounds like they're rehashing The Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen, meh." +.2 for being the song all of the boring post-punk songs copy. 2.7/5
budgie 08.15.19	wow ars you just hate on everything don't you.... don't want you coming to my parties
budgie 08.15.19	is this dead
ArsMoriendi 08.15.19	budgie you 1â€™d Paranoid Android and 2â€™d Glory Box You clearly hate more beloved classics than me
ArsMoriendi 08.15.19	Also, no itâ€™s not dead
budgie 08.15.19	i was just making fun, lol
Papa Universe 08.15.19	we're all awful people in someone else's eyes.
Divaman 08.16.19	River Tiber - 2.8 - I liked the verses better than the choruses.
Divaman 08.17.19	Too Young to Go Steady - 3.6 - Nice, bright-sounding song. Good vocals and guitar.
Divaman 08.17.19	Well gang, looks like we're running out of songs again. So here's my third rec for the month: Matisyahu - King Without a Crown - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChV5BZ8SmS0&list=PLWprWK6AVnu7eSM9NzDkJclQ1KKqjrTdb&index=39&t=0s This guy has been making great music of spiritual exploration for years, and although he has changed somewhat (he no longer wears the Hasidic garb) this is still probably his best track.
ArsMoriendi 08.17.19	"West" Sounds like bland modern pop minus any semblance of catchiness. 2/5 "Video Hits" Synthy in an 80s worship kinda way. The guitar seems more like an accent to the song than a driving force. Her voice is pleasant enough, but hardly my thing. It makes me think of an 80s vacation movie. Everything except her voice and the synths is mixed way too low. Don't dislike it though I suppose. 3/5
budgie 08.17.19	ars noooooooooo i picked that track with you in mind
Divaman 08.17.19	If you need a volunteer to host for September, I volunteer. Or if we're doing whoever has the highest score, that's fine too.
ArsMoriendi 08.17.19	Go for Diva! :)
Papa Universe 08.17.19	Diva go for!
SlothcoreSam 08.17.19	I 3rd Diva going 4.
SlothcoreSam 08.17.19	West. 1.6, this is like the opposite of pandering, stabbing porcupine quills into the eye of my penii, best thing about this song is the abrupt ending. Video hits, 3.0 Back to the 80s with this, vocals are nice, it's OK. Schizophrenia, 3.3 another band i never got into, even though i listened to then a lot, thanks to other people's obsession. I don't mind the long instrumental outro. King Without a Crown. 3.5 I own this, lol, completely forgot why i even bought it? Rap rasta flow is excellent, lyrics are not the best. Musically it's strong as well.
SlothcoreSam 08.17.19	All up to date, time for a third rec. This is 100% pander. Pander Pander, Pander, Pander, Pander Desiigner-Panda Off the album New English. It's actuality not a bad song. https://youtu.be/4NJlUribp3c
budgie 08.17.19	designer - panda 0/5
Divaman 08.18.19	OK, I'll do it. Is there a way to copy a whole page of that spreadsheet onto the next page?
Papa Universe 08.18.19	Ctrl+C
Divaman 08.18.19	That worked. Thanks.
Divaman 08.18.19	Sonic Youth - 2.8 - Never really got these guys, except maybe for "Bull in the Heather". That's actually a higher-than-average score for me for a Sonic Youth song.
ArsMoriendi 08.18.19	"Schizophrenia" Great opening riff with a soothing voice. Thurston's voice isn't diverse, but it sure fits the music perfectly. The drums are bouncy, which is always a plus and the lyrics are super cool. I always loved this one, ever since I first checked Sister. The way that solo shreds, but still manages to sound super pretty is impressive for something ao distorted. When Kim's vocals come in it feels even more pretty. Pretty noise, what a concept! 5/5
Papa Universe 08.18.19	David Bowie - Heroes You want pandering? I got pandering. https://youtu.be/xEqSOst1dg8
Divaman 08.18.19	Wow, that's some mighty fine pandering there, Papa.
budgie 08.18.19	david bowie - heroes boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring 2.5/5
Papa Universe 08.18.19	Ars, we're going to have to take away your cunting privileges on account of you've been outbitched by budgie.
budgie 08.18.19	outbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiched
budgie 08.18.19	fuck you ars i win!!!!
Divaman 08.18.19	Oh dude.
Minushuman24 08.18.19	10. Star Shopping - Lil Peep - Well, I guess it's finally time to add my first lil peep song to my last.fm library. Now I quite enjoy emo music, even when it's very blunt with little metaphor, but these lyrics are pretty horrid; like impressively bad. His voice isn't bad by any means though, nor is the very simplistic beat. But there's something intrinsically unlikable about this song. Probably the lyrics and probably the last song I'll be logging on last.fm. 2 11. Tristram - Matt Uelman - The old farming grounds. Diablo 2 has remained one of my all time favorite games ever since my step brother showed me it and I created my barbarian to clear the den of evil some 15 years ago. Every time I would load the game I would go to Tristram to farm and level up because I was deathly afraid of what lurked further in the game, and in the catacombs. Andariel gave me nightmares when I finally gained the courage to fight her. I actually hadn't beaten the game all the way up until two months ago, and it was a highlight of my summer finally slaying Baal and beating the game that was such an important part of my childhood. Anyway. Yeah, uh, I love this song and this game 4.2 12. Silver - Nirvana - Classic Nirvana song right here. Pretty simple, fun to sing along to, fun to listen to. 3.6 13. Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush - The first time I've (knowingly) heard a Kate Bush song here. It's not quite what I was expecting, but I really like this melody and I will absolutely come back to this song in the near future. 3.9 14. The Killing Moon - Echo & The Bunnymen - This is just a perfect song, pure and simple. It was the theme the Fall of 2016 for me where I started to come into myself, and since then it has become one of my all time favorite songs. Perfection. 5
Minushuman24 08.18.19	15. Nutshell - Alice in Chains - It's been a hot minute since I've listened to Alice in Chains. They were fundamental in my high school years in discovering music and evolving into the person that I am today. They have fallen to the wayside over the years in favor for, I guess, newer bands. When the familiar opening chords began I felt a sinking feeling in my chest of nostalgia and sadness, this song is as haunting and beautiful as ever. 4.6 16. West - River Tiber - I'm a sucker for this sort of r&b, but I cannot say that I think those vocals are nice to listen to, and even moreso those backing vocals are laughable. But it was... it was... ehh, I liked the beat and atmosphere it attempted. 2 17. Video Hits - Too Young to Go Steady - This is fine, it's cute. I feel like I've heard too many songs that sound similar to this in my lifetime though for it to be memorable at all. 2.9 18. Schizophrenia - Sonic Youth - I've been sleeping on Sonic Youth for a very long time, only listening to one album (bad moon rising) and a handful of popular songs. This is super chill, I like it, but I'm afraid that it didn't really stick out too much. I seem to never take an immediate liking to 90's indie rock, it always takes--at times--years to grow an appreciation for them, like built to spill or pavement. 3.4
ArsMoriendi 08.19.19	Itâ€™s from 1987, Minus
Trifolium 08.19.19	Back from Lowlands Festival, I'll check these today or tomorrow. For now, my third pandering track is: Nina Simone - My Baby Just Cares For Me (from Little Girl Blue) https://youtu.be/eYSbUOoq4Vg
Minushuman24 08.19.19	Ah, well, my bad. My thoughts on it still stand
Divaman 08.20.19	Desiigner - 2.0 - Kind of like the background music. But the main rapper had marbles in his mouth, and what the hell was that other guy doing in the background?
Divaman 08.21.19	Funkadelic - 1.9 - Harsh and ugly. Totally not my thing.
Trifolium 08.21.19	19th Nervous Breakdown: Fun track, nice energy, never been too big on the Stones but this is great. 3.8 Know Your Product: Cool Rock and Roll vibe, it doesn't really grab me though. 3.3 Halah: Mazzy is so good, they've been growing on me like crazy lately. Perfect late night music. 4.2 Star Shopping: Nice flow actually! I don't hate this track at all, am I weird now? 3.3 Tristram: This is really cool, very diverse and weird. Love the instrumentation and it works well as a piece too. 3.7 Sliver: Still great. That raw feel and great flow. 3.8 The Killing Moon: Ah I hear what you mean. This indeed rules. Although I'll have to get used to those vox still. Super weird to see how Interpol and Editors and the like copied this. 3.8 Nutshell: I've always wanted to check them and this makes clear I should have done so ages ago. Great track. Thanks Ars! 4.0 West: This is kind of cool garas! Reminds me of many things I've seen at festivals lately. Nowhere near as bad as the others made me think it was. 3.3 Video Hits: This is great as usual budg. Twinkly melancholy goodness. 3.6
Trifolium 08.21.19	I've also added a colour scale to the Google Docs sheet to make it more clearly visible who is winning. The yellower the better, blue being the least effective pandering tracks.
Trifolium 08.21.19	Schizophrenia: Some parts are great here, but overall this isn't really my thing. It might be the vox again? Don't know. The instrumental parts are amazing so I guess it's the vox, they're a little underwhelming. The ending to this is awesome again. Conflicted, how fitting. 3.6 King Without A Crown: W e i r d. This is really weird. Reggae/ska/orthodox jew/rap. Huh. You can't deny this dude's gifted though, his flow is great. 3.3 Panda: I don't like trap, and this is full of it. Not for me, sorry! Dig some of the darker vibes though. 2.3 Hit It And Quit It: So... damn... funky... I remember checking this when I was a teen and not understanding it at all. Never came back to it, but I should have! 3.8 Heroes: That incredible build, won't ever get enough of it. A 5.0 of course.
Divaman 08.21.19	We've got 8 days left to fill this month. Who wants to pander?
Divaman 08.22.19	David Bowie - 4.9 - now that's some mighty fine pandering.
ArsMoriendi 08.22.19	We need to bring in new people lol 4th recs is too much
Trifolium 08.22.19	Yeah I knowww. Wait, Egarran hasn't pandered yet, has he?! I'll get him!
Divaman 08.22.19	Maybe we should recruit like the British Navy used to -- start chatting with someone in a bar, buy them a few drinks, lure them out into an alley, conk them on the head, and poof, you're a sailor! Hey Doof, can I buy you a drink?
Trifolium 08.22.19	Great strategy! All hands on deck!
garas 08.22.19	Heyyy, I'm back: "Video Hits" - Not bad, but not good either. (But the album's cover is terrible!) 2.5 "Schizophrenia" - Here it comes Johnny (again) with a song which I would never ever listen to, but it turned out: I pretty much liked it. 3.6 "King Without a Crown" - I'm not into reggae, not even a little. 2.2 "Panda" - Ugh... 1.0 "Hit It and Quit It" - Hey, it's not bad at all! Especially the organ sounds awesome! (Terrible album cover though...) 3.4 "Heroes" - I'm real honest: I do like Bowie, but this song is not good and overrated as hell. 2.5
garas 08.22.19	And it seems you're low on recs. Why don't you listen to Church of the Cosmic Skull - Evil in your Eye ? https://youtu.be/QMJTofSaKUM One of my most favourite non-(extreme)metal bands nowadays. This like Abba crossed with Black Sabbath with a hint of Pink Floyd and Ghost. Back to the golden â€˜70s.
neekafat 08.22.19	Queens of the Stone Age - Song for the Dead I think this might be their most liked song for some reason. It's awesome don't get me wrong, but... idk I still love it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFg1AGuAGYA
Divaman 08.22.19	Thanks gang. Those look like some pretty good panders. Good to see ya, Neeka. ANybody have easy contact with JustJoe? He's another SOTD frequent contributor who's been MIA for awhile.
SlothcoreSam 08.23.19	Hit it and quit it, 3.5, oh this funky good. Feels like a jam song, live version could go for ever, not a band thing. Heroes, 4.2, Yup this is a classic. Why does U2 come to mind when I hear this? Probably cus they are thieving posers. Anyway, this songs great, takes a bit to get going but that softer build up is rewarded with Bowie's great vocal performance.
Divaman 08.23.19	Nina Simone - 3.2 - Simple, but I like it. It moves.
SlothcoreSam 08.23.19	Since my panda pander didn't go down to well, i got a real rec this time. Sparks vs Faith No More- This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us. Off the EP/single of the same name. https://youtu.be/hosEHHbsTrQ I had to add this to the sput database, but it's a classic, so if you haven't heard it, you're in for a treat.
Dewinged 08.23.19	Diva knocked on my door and asked me for a rec. I know I haven't been active on this threads but if pandering is what this is all about, and sensing a disturbing lack of metal on this list, I'm gonna say Ghost - Square Hammer is: A must listen jam! Apt for all ages, all races, all sexual tastes, all animals of the kingdom, all humans, machines and microorganisms, embrace the hammer! Oh you need a link huh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqoyKzgkqR4
garas 08.23.19	Aaaaaaaawesome pick, Dewi! Probably the very best Ghost track. (Maybe shares the position with From the Pinnacle to the Pit for me!)
Divaman 08.23.19	Great to see you, Dewinged. Got a feeling I'm gonna like that pick.
budgie 08.23.19	dewi's here now we just need need joe
Divaman 08.23.19	I asked Doof and Zak to drop in also, so perhaps they will.
Trifolium 08.23.19	I'll ask DDD
zakalwe 08.23.19	Yep, I was invited by my man Diva and Iâ€™ll deliver but Iâ€™ll be fucked it Iâ€™ll pander to you sput slags and offer up Limousine from Brand New or some other such dull drivel. So Iâ€™ll pander to the brats who insist the shite they serve up is â€˜skaâ€™ Hereâ€™s the real deal. Joe Higgs - (Iâ€™m The Song) My Enemies Sing https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzoayb-vKIU
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	o this looks fun
Trifolium 08.23.19	Pots is here! Rec us something please!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	i dont know if i have the right taste to properly pander to this crowd tbh
Trifolium 08.23.19	No problem, the biggest problem is we're running out of recs :-O
ArsMoriendi 08.23.19	Updated, will catch up soon
ArsMoriendi 08.23.19	"i dont know if i have the right taste to properly pander to this crowd tbh" Trip hop is a pretty big winner with this crowd, soooo
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	can i rec 2 or just 1?
ArsMoriendi 08.23.19	Rec 1 off the bat, and if you participate by rating a bunch of the songs, then rec a 2nd There are only 3 open spots left, good job recruiting Diva!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	k lets see how Afro by Agent 5.1 does
ArsMoriendi 08.23.19	Please link it Youtube, Spotify, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Vimeo and even Dailymotion are all acceptable places to link from
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	https://open.spotify.com/track/2AxMKdQSMMgBUF2E6BMi1D?si=5xmgMKreQ1SBlKS5k5q5KA
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	album is called con furore
ArsMoriendi 08.23.19	It's up! :)
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	thnx b im gonna rate some of these rn
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	1 Radiohead - Paranoid Android: Most overrated Radiohead album but song is still great, 3.5 2 Gary Numan - My Name Is Ruin: If you rec'd old Gary Numan it would have scored much better with me, this is alright but too broody for me to ever listen to again, 3 3 Underworld - Born Slippy: Uhh ok, 2.5 4 Pink Floyd - Great Gig in the Sky: Panderous pick indeed, would be really fucking boring to see such an obvious classic win though so I can't give it full points. Need a more creative pick, 3.5 5 Portishead - Glory Box: Good pander, 5
Trifolium 08.23.19	YES the best Glory Box rating.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	the only glory box rating
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	6 Talking Heads - Crosseyed and Painless: Wouldn't be my Remain In Light pick tbh but, 3.5 7 Rolling Stones - 19th Nervous Breakdown: Fuck this band and this 70s red robin diner rock bullshit, 2 8 The Saints - Know Your Product: Unshockingly, this fucking blows, 1 9 Mazzy Star - Halah: Yawn, 2.5 10 Lil Peep - Star Shopping: Well this certainly isn't what I was expecting... cute song, 3
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	11 Matt Uelmen - Tristram: Are you fucking serious budgie? 2 12 Nirvana - Silver: Don't care, 2 13 Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill: Trif is winning this game, great pander, 5 14 Echo and the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon: good pander, 4 15 Alice In Chains - Nutshell: Wouldn't be my Alice In Chains pick, 2
Trifolium 08.23.19	< 3333333
ArsMoriendi 08.23.19	Damn, Potsy knocked Gig out of first place
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	16 River Tiber - West: Hadn't heard this one but I'm familiar with Daniel Caesar so this was a welcome surprise, 3.5 17 Too Young To Go Steady - Video Hits: Budgie your taste is about as potent as a eunuchs rocket, 1 18 Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia: solid 3.5 19 Matisyahu - King Without a Crown: Best Matisyahu song, 2.5 20 Desiigner - Panda: Fuck off, 0.5
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	Gig is just sooo predictable for this comp I can't condone such an easy win
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	21 Funkadelic - Hit It And Quit It: classic pander, 5 22 David Bowie - Heroes: kind of a boring Bowie pick, 3 23 Nina Simone - My Baby Just Cares for Me: just watched a video yesterday of Nina Sinone talking about flying to switzerland to try and murder a dude for stealing her records and that sheer amount of fucking gangster alone warrants this, 5 24 Queens of the Stone Age - Song for the Dead: good pick for Qotsa, 4 25 Sparks vs Faith No More - This Town...: fucking kill me, 0.5
Trifolium 08.23.19	My god Pots are we on the same wavelength or what!? Nina = best
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	26 Ghost - Square Hammer: no, 1 27 Joe Higgs - "(I'm the Song) My Enemies Sing": how wholesome, 2.5 28 Church of the Cosmic Skull - Evil In Your Eye: literally nothing more painfully derivative than modern bands playing this kind of mildly psychedelic throwback rock, 1.5 29 Agent 5.1 - Afro: wow great song good job, 5
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	and now that i've done all that I also rec Utopia by Goldfrapp https://open.spotify.com/track/7mYUeJq8M8S8kzDZUs6o23?si=e4xxt6fVSXytals0UJwW2w
Trifolium 08.23.19	Best song on Felt Mountain.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	agreed hard
ArsMoriendi 08.23.19	Rating for your own song doesn't count, but I put all of your other scores on the doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yo9Aj7t1IZwG41xFgX9kzIugIsVckENq5RnQace1WDw/edit#gid=360551644
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	U dont say
budgie 08.23.19	i reported every single one of pots' posts
garas 08.23.19	à² _à²
ArsMoriendi 08.23.19	Which asshole locked the google sheet? I'm blaming Potsy cuz he's new to this list series
Trifolium 08.23.19	YEAH >:-( It said ''try opening it in a private window''... which I was already doing... Thanks Google I guess.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	Not me, I didnt even click it
garas 08.23.19	Wha-- c'mon... then who locked the spreadsheet?? It wasn't me, I did not open it today.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	I sense a disturbance in the force
ArsMoriendi 08.23.19	Well, whoever did it fucking sucks Various users have been updating it for the course of a year and we rely on it because it makes calculating averages not hell
Trifolium 08.23.19	Wait I've got an idea...
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	Ya that's a dick move
Trifolium 08.23.19	NOOOO it didn't work! I tried entering it through another month's link, but the same thing happens. AFFFSSHHJHSFKIJWHFLEKNLGN!!!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	you'd think there would be a safeguard where only the doc creator can lock it, i dunno anything about google docs but it seems kind of stupid
garas 08.23.19	But what chaotic evil would do this to us? :'[
garas 08.23.19	Hmmm, really: who created the list, btw?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	kind of should have seen this coming on a site like sput tbqh
ArsMoriendi 08.23.19	neeka started the series, but I don't think he made the spreadsheet Maybe ZombieToyDuck did? I don't remember
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	whoever created it should have the means to reset the restriction i would imagine
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	they should also be able to set it so that visitors can't lock it ??
Trifolium 08.23.19	We should have saved a copy, maybe someone downloaded it once?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	some mouth-breather is v pleased with himself rn
garas 08.23.19	I knew I should have downloaded this... Best we can hope one of our requests shall be accepted.
budgie 08.23.19	lmfao
Trifolium 08.23.19	Did you do this budgie??!??! >:-(
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.23.19	if budgie is drunk he 100% did it
garas 08.23.19	Okay, I can open it, but I'm not allowed to edit it.
Pheromone 08.23.19	If someone transfers me 100 quid I'll give the details back
Pheromone 08.23.19	nah i joke thats fucked hope you kids get access soon
Trifolium 08.23.19	garas download it asap
budgie 08.23.19	i think only the file owner can make the document private
Trifolium 08.23.19	Hmm, but what did we do to upset neeka? The plot thickens.
garas 08.23.19	Done! ;]
budgie 08.23.19	for me it reads: you need permission, request access.
garas 08.23.19	It is mystery time! Scooby-Doo opening song in the packground
Trifolium 08.23.19	Nice garas! At least we'll still have the document somewhere now.
Divaman 08.24.19	First, welcome and thanks to our new contributors. Btw, Doof can't make it to the party this month. Second, That sucks. So we have almost the whole month set for recs, but we're all locked out.
Divaman 08.24.19	Queens of the Stone Age - 2.9 - I had it rated a little higher, but the false endings annoyed me, so I penalized the track for them.
Divaman 08.24.19	OK, I can edit it now. Our mysterious benefactor has granted me permission, since I'm hosting for September. Can't open it back up, he'll be granting permission on a needs-only (or case-by-case) basis. But at least we know that all the work that has gone into this hasn't been lost.
budgie 08.24.19	i can't access it still
JustJoe. 08.25.19	if youâ€™re still up for it: * â€œwinter beatsâ€ â€” i break horses ~ [hearts]

JustJoe. 08.25.19	same here budgie
budgie 08.25.19	hope you're doin well friendo
Divaman 08.25.19	And the link for that one is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sg7YkPnEYw . Thanks Joe. It looks like August is now complete.
Divaman 08.25.19	Sparks and Faith No More - 3.6 - I always liked this song.
Divaman 08.26.19	Ghost - 3.7 - nice one.
Minushuman24 08.26.19	Anyone else had the problem where they couldn't click on anything for a while?
Divaman 08.26.19	On the spreadsheet, or on this site? I've been having that problem on this site with my work laptop for the last few days, but I just figured it was the computer, because it wasn't happening with my personal laptop.
garas 08.26.19	Nope, both site and spreadsheet works just fine. But I still don't have the permission to edit the spreadsheet, haha! I guess, I'll add all the data to my downloaded one.
garas 08.26.19	"My Baby Just Cares for Me" - The video was lovely, nice song. 3.0 "Song for the Dead" - Not bad, but this band is seriously overrated. 2.9 "This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us" - I just don't like it. Those vocals... 2.1 "Square Hammer" - Still 5.0.
Divaman 08.26.19	I'll add your scores to the spreadsheet.
ArsMoriendi 08.27.19	"Usage of Toddler Playground" Jewish reggae rap? Why? This is boring. 2.5/5 Still can't access the doc, so add my score.
ArsMoriendi 08.27.19	"Panda" Bad trap bullshit. Borderline torture honestly. 1.3/5 ""Heroes"" The guitar is great and floaty, the piano is low, but catchy. This song is about a couple Bowie saw while in Berlin and him seeing them caused him to write a song about two lovers separated by the Berlin wall. My personal interpretation has it about a bad relationship between two people who shouldn't be together, but one of them wants to put aside their differences for once. It's intense with passionate vocals and a slow krautrock inspired repetition. A classic. 4.9/5 "My Baby Just Cares For Me" Simple and jazzy. Her voice is so deep, and so pleasant. 3.6/5 "Song for the Dead" Creepy organ, cool guitar line. I like those vocals, they're harsh, but cool. 3.8/5 "This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us" Glam rocky, theatrical, and all over the place. Not the best thing I've heard from Patton, but still fun enough. 3.5/5 "Square Hammer" Whiny, boring, and kinda emotion outside of whining. Radio pop rock? 2.4/5
Divaman 08.27.19	No problem, Ars. So that was a 5 on the Matisyahu, right? (Heh heh. jk.) And as for myself: Joe Higgs - 2.2 - The guy has a smooth voice, but that's the only thing I like aout the track.
Minushuman24 08.27.19	Just finished up the stress of moving out/moving in, so back to this~ 19. King without a Crown - Matisyahu - I don't think this is pandering. I also confused this with some japanese post-hardcore band that I can't remember the name of. This is.... it's fine? It's fine. 2.5 20. Panda - Desiigner - This sucks, souless as fuck 1.3 I went to check my spotify tab and there's still an entire minute left, ugh 21. Hit it and Quit it - Funkadelic - I kinda stole this album from my college's library a while back. I haven't listened to it in so long. Great song. 3.6 22. "Heroes" - David Bowie - For such a long time I always thought this to be one of Bowie's more overrated tracks, but in the past year or so it has wormed into my heart and now I cannot listen to it without it pulling lightly at my heartstrings. 5 23. My Baby Just Cares for Me - Nina Simone - This is so lovely, I adore her voice. 3.9 24. Song for the Dead - Queens of the Stone Age - The main riff in this has to be one of my all time favorites. Fuck that, this is just one of my favorite guitar songs I think, it's so memorable. 4.2 25. This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both of Us - Sparks vs. Faith No More - 3.3 26. Square Hammer - Ghost - This sounds like if AFI went full on radio rock. I guess it's good I like AFI? 3.2 27. I'm the Song My Enemies Sing - Joe Higgs - His voice is actually one of the weaker aspects of this track for me, but I still quite enjoy his voice. 3.6
Divaman 08.28.19	Hmm. Don't mean to make you feel bad, Slothcore. But it was sad that Minus gave "Panda" a 1.3, and its average went up slightly. Hey, I don't mind adding these scores, but I'm curious. Am I the only one who was granted editing privileges on the spreadsheet?
ArsMoriendi 08.28.19	I can view the doc now! (but not edit it...) whoo! :)
Divaman 08.28.19	Did you get the link to request the right to edit it from the list owner? That's how I got back onto it -- a clicked that link, explained that it was diva and that I'd need editing privileges to edit the spreadsheet if I'm going to host in September, and then I got a second email granting me editing privileges.
Divaman 08.28.19	Church of the Cosmic Skull - 3.0 - not bad.
Divaman 08.29.19	Agent 5.1 - 3.7 - kind of moody and cool.
Divaman 08.30.19	Goldfrapp - 3.1 - It's got something, but it feels like some of the components making up the song don't really go together.
Divaman 08.31.19	I Break Horses - 3.9 - Kind of repetitive, but I like it. A strong ending to August.
SlothcoreSam 08.31.19	Hey the Panda Pander, was me being a dick.I'd only give it a 2.7. Gonna finish the month tomorrow.
Trifolium 08.31.19	Haha I had a feeling it might be something like this
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.31.19	Divaman shut ur whore mouth
garas 08.31.19	Final catch-up: "(Iâ€™m The Song) My Enemies Sing" - It was okay. 2.5 "Afro" - This would be awesome as a full instrumental song, but the vocals... 2.7 "Utopia" - That wasn't utopistic at all. 2.1 "Winter Beats" - It was surprisingly gooooood!! (Terrible band name tho.) I felt it was a bit short, so I might have to listen to the full album. And I liked the music video as well. 3.8
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.31.19	U just hate women
Divaman 09.03.19	Dude, you got a 3.1 out of me. It's not like I a zeroed you out.
Trifolium 09.03.19	Now that the site's back online I'll play catch up soon!
Divaman 09.03.19	Vg. Don't forget that the September list is up now too, so be sure to get your first rec in.
Trifolium 09.03.19	Yeah I was thinking about my first one already.
ArsMoriendi 09.03.19	I will catch up on this sometime soon
Trifolium 09.03.19	That is one hot bum Ars!
ArsMoriendi 09.03.19	"(Iâ€™m The Song) My Enemies Sing" This is pleasant. Not much else. 3.2/5 "Evil in your Eyes" Sounds like lame progressive pop like ELO's less good songs. Wait it's getting physics and slow hmmm. Way too long and nothing too special. 2.8/5 "Afro" Very raspy voice. I like the Spanish guitar that comes in late into the song. The atmosphere is dark and pretty in general, which is appealing in trip-hop. I can't say that this is my favorite thing I've heard in the genre though. 3.7/5 "Utopia" Such pretty strings in the opening. I feel like rating this is like cheating because I already have this album 5'd. Good pandering, though "Human" and "Deer Stop" probably would've gotten you a perfect score from me. This is close though. The synths, her sweet voice, the cinematic climax feel of the song all work so well. 4.8/5
ArsMoriendi 09.03.19	"Winter Beats" So far kinda bland and synthy. Yup, still bland. 2.9/5
Divaman 09.03.19	Yikes! Ars, put some pants on!
Minushuman24 09.03.19	God dammit, Sputnik logged me out because I was distracted and I lost my ratings. Fuck it 28. Its the most Church of the Cosmic Skull song 3.2 29. Okay 2.9 30. very nice 3.7 31. yea okay. 3.1
Lord(e)Po)))ts 09.03.19	@diva u also gave my other song a 3.7 lol, I'm just being dramatic
Minushuman24 09.04.19	boys club yeayeayeayea
Trifolium 09.06.19	A Song For The Dead: Nice track of course. Those riffs, the vibes. 4.2 This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us: Hmmm, I don't know. Oh wait, I do. 2.2 Square Hammer: They were never really my thing. Production here is especially annoying to me. 2.8 I'm The Song My Enemies Sing: Very cute. puts a smile on my face. Love the rhythm section. Lovely track. 3.5 Evil In Your Eye: I liked the quieter, more introspective parts, the louder parts became a little repetative. Still a nice tune overall! 3.2 Afro: Whoa, sexy music! Mighty fine rec, will check this album asap! Nice beat, great vox, percussion is amazing, love the rasp. And that Caribbean mix up is nice too. 4.5 Utopia: Best track on the album. Best track of their discog maybe even. 4.3 Winter Beats: A little monotonous, but the build up is fine and it's nicely dreamy. Plus the mix is great. 3.5
Trifolium 09.06.19	BOOM And another month done
Trifolium 09.06.19	Pots your 98% completion bothers me. Please listen to 31.
budgie 09.06.19	DON'T DO IT POTS
Trifolium 09.06.19	Ok, budgie and I have spoken. It's time to pick Pots. What are you going to do?
