01.01.21 | Are songs at least so far unattached to an album alright? Cuz if they are Major Parkinson dropped the single Jonah back last January and it’s been a reliable fix of warm fuzzies and too-fast driving ever since, with very little tolerance built up. But it still a year on has no album to go with it.
https://youtu.be/-nUCSyNiQGo |
Mythodea
01.01.21 | There's one particular rendition of ''What's the Buzz'' and ''Blood Money'' from Jesus Christ Superstar, purely instrumental, which I can't find on YouTube (I have it on CD). I might have to upload them myself and gift 'em to the world, as they might be my favourite take, and always make me move my tushy.
But maybe I'll save it for later. Currently, I'll go with Martin Martini and the Bone Palace Orchestra - Take Your Skin Off and Dance (from the Dance Until You Die album), which made me dance out on the balcony once, with all the neighbours giving me strange looks.

01.02.21 | Appleshine: Vox don’t do much for me, especially his trance-like melody leaves a bit to be desired. The beat fills out in a satisfying way near the end of the song. Though it seems pretty standard Loop n’ Layer procedure. 2.6/5 |

Anything that reminds me of Brokencyde, which that song 100% does.
If you wanna call it trapcore because it uses trap beats, then fine, but it's awful in the exact same way as Brokencyde |

"Hoppípolla" - This was chill. 3.3 |
Sinternet
01.03.21 | "Anything that reminds me of Brokencyde, which that song 100% does."
its completely different but mkay
1. Appleshine - A beautiful slice of progressive house as expected from Underworld, wonderfully understated. Do need to catch up on their DRIFT stuff actually. 3.9
2. Shiny - Very energetic and uhh shiny I guess. I like it, but it doesn't quite have the same appeal as Where's My Juul personally, still she's definitely an interesting up and coming artist and excited to hear what she does next. 3.6
3. Hoppipolla - Takk is my favourite Sigur Ros album so I definitely appreciate this pick. Ethereal beauty. 4.7 |

(It's ok to admit u gave us the wrong link)
Hoppípolla - That's more like it. Agree Coldplay ruined this sound and it's still close to being too saccharine. Still, 4/5. Euphoria rating: 7/10
Chatroom - I had grim expectations and they were warranted. But I can see geeking out and being happy to this. 2.5/5 Euphoria rating: 6/10 |

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - My Friend's A Liquid from the album "And Now for the Whatchamacallit"

such a danceable melody and everything about it oozes the fun vibrance that comes very easily to this band |
LeddSledd
01.04.21 | Appleshine (All The Lights)- pleasant enough but really didn't build to anything in particular, despite feeling like it would. 2.7
Shiny - this is the fucking song ever. 2.0
Hoppipolla - Sigur Ros making textured soundscapes n shit, doing what they do best. Great track. 3.9 |
dedex
01.04.21 | 4. Chatroom - fun lil tune, i like how upbeat it is, although the end of the song tends to slightly annoy me. 3.3 |
Scheumke
01.04.21 | Owh lol I was looking at it wrong haha, I'm an idiot.
God I got multiple great ones for this month, it's a fantastic theme trif! I was thinking of doing The Pretender from the Foo Fighters, but I think almost everyone already knows that so I'm going with:
Snarky Puppy - What About Me? (album = We Like It Here) https://youtu.be/fuhHU_BZXSk
This might be one of my favorite pieces of music ever. Larnell Lewis = god. the musicality of this song is out of this world and never fails to bring a stupid grin to my face. |

Scheumke
01.04.21 | 1. Appleshine - 3.2 I enjoyed it, but I clearly don't get the same feeling from it as you do trif.
2. Shiny - ? What the actual F was that lol. I laughed out loud so it did its job I guess, but in terms of quality or actual enjoyment, nah.
3. Hoppipolla - 4.7 I really need to dive deeper into Sigur Ros, every time I try it I enjoy it but I keep forgetting somehow. Yeah this is Euphoric af and I'm loving it. It has the climax of a 10+ minute post rock song within the first two minutes.
4. Chatroom - 3.3 Yeah this was fun and bubbly. Like with Trif's rec, I don't really 'feel' it but its enjoyable enough. |
JohnnyoftheWell
01.04.21 | 1) Appleshine (All The Lights) hahaha lmao i haven't listened to Underworld i fking suck. this is at once not what i expected and *extremely* trif. i like it. i'm vibing. i'm not swept away, but i'm defs down for more. that 4 can 4 on my 4loor anyday. 3.5
3) Hoppipolla - the crown jewel of sigur ros' ascent into cheesy nature music, nice. given how much exposure and protomemeing this (probably) got, i guess it's aged well. 3.6
4) Chatroom - this song made me realise that i'm kinda miserable today and not actually in the mood for euphoric music, speaking of which january in general fking sucks and it's gonna be a long month of misplaced optimism if i stick with this so might as well get used towoah wait a second this is cute and kinda bops i dunno what to rate it let's go one higher than sigur ros 3.7
"it doesn't quite have the same appeal as Where's My Juul personally"
i *kinda* agree in that she's currently a one-trick pony and will never pack the same novelty wth as Where's My Juul, but also this one bangs harder imo so all grand |

Not completely sure that's a good defense. But I do have to wonder why you gave it a second chance. |
nolerthebowler
01.04.21 | Hoppípolla - wow. I’ve somehow managed to sleep on Sigur Ros almost entirely, and this shows me how much that’s gotta change. Can’t get over how this song climaxes, beautiful. 4.4/5

Divaman
01.04.21 | >But I do have to wonder why you gave it a second chance.
I always make myself a YouTube playlist for SOTD. Sometimes I leave the sound on when I'm adding a song to the list, sometimes not. This time I did. And its very short, so I heard most of it, and my reaction was "What the hell is this shit?" So the second chance was when I actually listened to it on the day it was scheduled for, by which point it started making sense to me. |
Pangea
01.04.21 | i often listen to songs 2-3 times to get a good feel for them, unless they're particularly long or if i don't have much time to do so |
Divaman
01.04.21 | She's got a weird voice, I agree Leddsledd. My wife and I saw them live last year (in 2019) opening for Chvrches, and my wife didn't like her voice at all. It doesn't bother me, though. |
garas
01.05.21 | "Chatroom" - It wasn't half as bad as I expected! The clip was pretty much like any basic cult-based horror movie, but the song was kinda nice. 3.4
"Imaginary Folklore" - It was good, I guess. I had kinda neutral feelings about it. 3.0 |

01.05.21 | Oh! Nobody knows me (except Ars) but I wanna participate if there's still a chance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29MBGwzEhMc
I'm not much the happiness type in music but I always drive a little too fast to this one. :) |
Mythodea
01.05.21 | I think we're having mixed responses due to the contrast between euphoric/happy and excited/happy. Anyway:
1. Appleshine (All The Lights): it was good, and reminded me of a Tom Robbins book of talking things. I would pleasantly listen to it again, probably should give the 20-minute version a try sometime. 3.0
2. Lil Mariko - Shiny feat. Full Tac : I didn't know there was a sugar-pop equivalent of Lingua Ignota, but here we are. I'm a shiny bitch, bitch, how do you likE ME NOW THAT I'M DOMINATING YOU??? Coo' coo' cool. 4.0
3. Hoppipolla - I see the reasons behind the choise, but I do not feel them. Sigur Ros are great, though. 2.5
4. Chatroom - A song that feels like a Hollywood B-Movie about an LA surfer girl at the final months of teenagehood just ended. Didn't do much to me. 2.0
5. Imaginary Folklore - Yeah, I like Nujabes, but this felt a bit like a b-side. Easy-listening. 3.0

6. archie: god i fuckin love this song, only better option would've been party police but hey i'm not complaining, 4.8 |
Divaman
01.05.21 | Nujabes - I got kicked in the nujabes once. I didn't like it. Anyway ... Nice, pretty, mellow opening with some strings, piano and strummed acoustic. Female vocalist singing in Japanese. Wait, what month is this? No matter. I see they've got her labeled as jazz and hip-hop, but thankfully, this is neither. (Maybe there's a little jazz tinge to it.) 3.7 |

Pretty basic pop-rock. This is kind of difficult to form a strong opinion on, but I definitely don't hate it.
3/5
"Imaginary Folklore"
Good drums off the bat. Pretty soulful vocals too. I like this, but I can't see how something this relaxing could make you euphoric, since I suppose euphoria is kinda the opposite of being relaxed since it's like a HUGE HAPPY RUSH, but whatever this is awesome, so I forgive you. The best song this month so far, in fact.

01.06.21 | Thanks! I want to swap that song to
"20 Buck Spin" by Pentagram (from First Daze Here): https://youtu.be/XlglilH1JgY
This song always makes me (try) to sing along. And those riffs are fantastic. |

01.07.21 | Imaginary Folklore: My favorite beatmaker! Nujabes songs are always filled with such passion.. Feels pretty standard for his style, so I give it an even 4/5 with room to grow, as I'll certainly come back to this.
Marry Me, Archie: Hey, Hey! I like, don't love, this style. It takes me back. Really well done for what its going for. 3.1/5
Life is a Long Song: Luscious instrumentals! This is natural music, love it. 4.6/5 |
Divaman
01.08.21 | I invited Dewi and zak to make recs. If they join us, we'll just need one more. |
LeddSledd
01.08.21 | Imaginary Folklore - gorgeous track! lush, soft-spoken, soul-nourishing shit. gotta check some more Nujabes now, never heard em til now. 4.2
Marry Me, Archie - simple and light-hearted, exactly what it needs to be. vocals and style aren't really my dig but i can appreciate it for what is it. 3.0
Life's A Long Song - pretty standard Jethro, but great song nonetheless. the bright guitar and flute is an easy way to win me over. 3.8 |
budgie
01.08.21 | upbutting |

01.08.21 | 8. Big A Little A - I actually never listened to Crass but damn I like it. in-yo-face punk will always find a soft spot in me heart. 3.7 |

01.08.21 | There’s a lot that make me tingle but only a handful that make me want to raise my arms into the air and dance with abandon.
There’s one in particular that takes me to a higher state. Should I be walking along the pavement and it makes an appearance on the old I-pod I will without any hesitation start dancing/shuffling along with it because it has an impact on me whereby it’s impossible not to cut some rug. It engages the mind, body and soul and elevates to nirvana.
The Stone Roses - I Am the Resurrection.

01.08.21 | very nice one zak |
Scheumke
01.08.21 | Imaginary Folklore - 4.0 This was lovely, will look up more from this group!
Archie, Marry Me - 2.5 Oeh I really don't like her vocals. It's not my genre either but I can totally see the dreamy apeal of it.
Life is a Long Song - 4.3 This was right up my alley. Need to listen me some more Tull lol.
Big A Little A - 2.0 I think I miss the gene to enjoy punk music or something. Apart from (sometimes) the lyrics I usually see very little that attracks me to it and this is no different, sorry sloth.
|
Divaman
01.08.21 | Nice. Dewi promised to drop us a rec as well, so that will leave us with just one opening. |
Divaman
01.08.21 | Crass - Aggressive guitar and weird electro chatter in the background. Then it breaks into a full-grown punk song. It's almost 6 minutes long, though. What ever happened to short, punchy punk songs? Oh well. He sounds pretty passionate, but between his accent and how fast he's singing, I don't really know wtf he's singing about. Song kind of breaks down, or at least gets really quiet, at a little past the three-and-half minute mark. It definitely overstays its welcome. 2.8 |
Egarran
01.08.21 | Imaginary Folklore - Turns out I knew this song from a friend's playlist, so that was weird. Is nice. Don't like her voice much. 3.3/5
Archie, Marry Me - Marry me aw shiit. Very cute, and it reminds me a lot of another song I can't name, so there goes my sleep for the night. 3.7/5
Life is a long song - I knew this before it was cool. I've never been cool with those strings though. IMO they give this phase of Tull such a cheesy sound. 3/5
Big A Little A - We haven't had punk in here for months and I now realize they were blessed months. 2/5
Disengage the Simulator - Highest expectations for this song. I mean, look at that cover. But it's dangerously close to pop-punk. 3/5 |
Mythodea
01.08.21 | Archie, Marry Me - I'm at a point where indie pop is a hit or miss for me, but this time I found it pretty warm and interesting. The melody hook and chorus are ear-worms too. Good one, elevates my mood. 3.5
Life's a Long Song: Yeah, huge love to Jethro Tull. Great Tune. Not the one I'd pick for such a list, but a good song nonetheless. 4.
Big A Little A - Hello, hello, hello this is the British accent, can you hear? It's not like the American, it's really not, I fear... Great song, 4
|
zakalwe
01.08.21 | Never heard the Tull one before. What an absolute lovely tune that is. |
Divaman
01.08.21 | Thanks. Surprised you've never heard it. It's one of my favorite Tull songs. |
nolerthebowler
01.08.21 | Big A Little A: This song is better than it has any right to be lmao. It just keeps going and going, in a good way. Can’t tell what he’s saying 90% of the time, but I can tell it’s PONK as FOCK. 3.3/5 |
Divaman
01.09.21 | CKY - Oh boy, let's get a listen of this one. The album art is terrifying, and frequently budgie is too when he strays away from his dream pop. OK, surprisingly mellow beat. Another drummer too in love with his cymbals. Nevertheless, this isn't nearly as raucous as I expected. 3.0 |
nolerthebowler
01.09.21 | Disengage the Simulator: hmm... the guitar riff is catchy, I like how it almost swings. Interesting atmosphere, but not really my cup of tea. 2.9/5 |
Pheromone

ArsMoriendi
01.10.21 | "Archie, Marry Me"
I think Johnny would categorize this as latte indie. It's pleasant, but it's so boring and feels like it's going through the motions of a typical indie song.
3/5
"Life Is a Long Song"
That was cute. The flute and acoustic guitar were both fun and light.
3.5/5
"Big A Little A"
The children singing seem so sinister. Classic Crass, fun lyrics, good bass, yeah masterclass stuff. I like the drums too.
4.7/5
"Disengage the Simulator"
This sounds like grunge, also that cover is from the slasher film Sleepaway Camp. Fun movie. Pretty decent actually. Budgie if you like this, how are you not an Alice in Chains fan? Or at least Stone Temple Pilots?
3.6/5 |

Divaman
01.10.21 | Did Minus give us one this month? Perhaps he'd like to. |
Sinternet
01.10.21 | 4. Young Enough - A decent enough power pop tune but kinda lacking anything special. Needs to figure out if it wants to go for the cutesy angle or raw vibe, ends up halfway towards either which is not a good spot. Vocal production also really annoys me, sounds like an even more polished modern nashville country vocal track. Pretty weak unfortunately. 2.8
5. Imaginary Folklore - I must admit my Nujabes knowledge is pretty lacking and this definitely reminds me I need to fix that. Easily distinguished from the thousands of weak imitators by the wonderful and varied melodies, and vocals are beautifully understated. Sound selection is impeccable. Yeah this rules. 4.6
6. Archie, Marry Me - Another band I have really been sleeping on despite my intentions to get to them, and again this further reminds me of what I'm missing me. Hits somewhere between Belle & Sebastian and Angus & Julia Stone, with the best bits of both. Incredible production as well, clear but textured and impactful. 4.4 |

01.10.21 | Two things:

Divaman
01.10.21 | Major Parkinson - Ah, a military man, eh? Jolly good. Sounds like a ship's foghorn, followed by a gothy kind of dude and some unexpectedly lighthearted synth. This is interesting. I wish the vocals were a little less whispered, they're kind of low in the mix. Guess he's compensating by having the local Glee Club back him up. Still, pretty decent song. 3.5 |

Egarran
01.10.21 | Jonah - I find this very weird for some reason, and I feel uncomfortable in its presence. Maybe it's those definite 80s vibes. But the song does a lot of things and I like that. That solo is almost comical. 3/5
Take Your Skin Off and Dance - More eerie stuff... ah, they're just drunk as fuck. I can respect that. 3.5/5
Trusty and True - 8 mins, this better be beautiful as hell.... Ok it was actually very nice. 4/5
Huddle Formation - Oh I know this one. Good fun. 3.7/5
Water Curses - Started fine, then got annoying. That high pitch synth hurts me. 3/5 |

nolerthebowler
01.10.21 | Jonah - I have a friend named Jonah, you could certainly say his belly is a bag full of chemicals. Man, this song is both cheesy and creepy as hell. Feels like the penultimate track in a movie that thinks it’s better than it actually is. The vocalist thinks he’s hot shit, but he’s really hot shit. The synth work is nice (though cheese), but the pretentious presentation is very offputting. 2.1/5 |

01.11.21 | >I just know what is accepted around here and what isn't ya know haha
Yeah, but that shouldn't stop you. There are times I post stuff that I know is gonna get killed, but I post it because it's the song I like the most that meets the theme for the month. (And there are usually at least 2 or 3 people who like it.) Then there are the times I post something that's fairly innocuous, and it still gets killed. (Like last month.) And every once in awhile, I post something I think might get killed, and it actually goes over pretty well with most people. (Like this month.) In the end, I just post what I like. And if the group doesn't like it, I just roast them in my blog for their lousy taste. :) |

01.11.21 | 9. Disengage The Simulator - i like dem riffz and the grungey tone. 3.6
10. Jonah - 80s worship, but darker than usual, until the whole thing elevates itself into "America fuck yeah" territories. 3.4
11. Take Your Skin Off and Dance - the kind of stuff to drunkenly (try to) dance to. 3.2 |
ian b
01.11.21 | "I just know what is accepted around here and what isn't ya know haha"

01.11.21 | Martin Martini and the Bone Palace Orchestra - Kind of annoying intro. A little better when the song actually starts. This guy doesn't have the best voice, though - it's kind of grating. The song is very burlesque. It's clever, but I can't say I actually like it. 2.9 |

01.11.21 | Take your skin off - Great song! Instrumentation is wild and well performed, I dig very much. I agree his voice is a bit much, but he’s really into it! The organ at the beginning doesn’t sit super well with me, but small gripe. 3.4/5 |
nolerthebowler
01.11.21 | “no buttgie we learned in that other thread that a good shroom trip will solve it“

Pangea
01.11.21 | 1. Appleshine - I vibe hard with this. Nice vocals too. 3.8
2. Shiny - This is kind of a banger? 3.3
4. Chatroom - i really like this kind of glossy pop. Not super into the chorus of this song, but otherwise it was really nice. 3.2
5. Imaginary Folklore - This was kind of ear in, ear out to me, but it's nice i suppose. 3.0
6. Archie, Marry Me - meh not a fan. I'm not into the vocals at all and the chorus is pretty bad. 2.2 |
Trifolium
01.11.21 | Oooh yes, happy to see that rating for Underworld Pangea 💚
I'll update this soon! (How's that for a promise?) |

01.11.21 | A little vague. ... Oh, that was a rhetorical question. |

01.12.21 | 12. Trusty and True - ofc it's beautiful, but it's not my fav from this album (it takes a lot to know a man 😭) 3.8 |
Trifolium
01.12.21 | Pretty super ultra vague. |
Divaman
01.12.21 | Damien Rice - Quiet acoustic guitar intro. Often a good sign. Kind of sleepy vocal. Ooh, an Irish guy. My DNA thanks you. Yeah, this is nice. Whoa, over 8 minutes long, though? Take the win and walk away, Damien. 3.5 |
dedex
01.13.21 | 13. Huddle Formation - yo now this is a feel-good tune! i wanna be young again woooooo 3.8 |
Divaman
01.13.21 | The Go! Team - Cheerleaders. Usually a good thing. Good energy on this one, although the vocals sound a bit far away. Yeah, I'm with dedex. 3.8 |
nolerthebowler
01.13.21 | Trusty and True - Oh man, I’ve been waiting for this. Rice has a beautiful soul, and it always shows in his music. This feels like a traditional Irish battle march, he always plays around with new genres and themes to keep his subtle acoustic style sounding fresh, and he really nails this atmosphere. I’d bet folky Irish songs are pretty tied to his heritage. Love how he says “fellaz.” I think the length is justified, there’s a pretty significant shift in tone halfway thru the song which keeps the melodies from sounding stale. And the melody! It’s just brilliant, this song’s hooks are officially stuck with me. Take a seat Jethro, there’s a new #1 in town. 4.7/5 |
nolerthebowler
01.13.21 | Huddle Formation - a banger! The percussion is jet-powered. I had settled on 3.8 before I checked this thread, looks like that’s about right lol. Cheerleaders. 3.8/5 |
nolerthebowler

dedex
01.14.21 | 14. Water Curses - it's fun and weird but i didn't really care about it :( 2.8 |
Divaman
01.14.21 | Animal Collective - I've always heard a lot about these guys, but never actually listened to them. Water sounds and animal noises. Music is kind of swirly, like a merry-go-round. Fast vocals stuffed into a waltz beat - 1,2,3 - 1,2,3. Started OK, but gets a little grating. Again, I seem to be mirroring dedex - 2.8 |

01.15.21 | Water Curses - Animal Collective is so fkin weird. I always get the feeling there’s just a little too much going on with this band, sensory overload. There’s hints of lush production and fun songwriting buried here, but everything feels, idk, rushed? 3.2/5 |
nolerthebowler
01.15.21 | Damn Daniel! - Well, it’s twice as good as Shiny by Little Mariko, and that was a 5/5, sooooo... 10/5? haha lol no 2.7/5 |
Divaman
01.16.21 | Madvillain - This could be good. I like mad villains. Sounds like the record is stuck. Voice over. Oh fuck. More hip hop, albeit slow hip hop. I think the vocalist is watching Power Rangers on TV or something. Whoa, it's over already. Was that an outtake? 2.0 |

01.16.21 | it’s better in context ig, tho the chances you’ll like the album at all are prob slim |
LeddSledd
01.16.21 | Big A Little A - damn, I like this a lot more than I thought I would. such a fun beat, and the lyrics are great too. very danceable song. 3.9
Disengage the Simulator - head-bobbing type stuff, nice riffy song and a great atmosphere to it. 3.4
Jonah - it feels a bit too twinkly and artificial, but there's some cool progressions and instrumentation. dec song. 2.9
Take Your Skin Off and Dance - wonderful aesthetic to this song, like being in a burlesque house in Alice's Wonderland. great vocals too. 3.7
Trusty and True - this is the fucking song ever. 4.0
Huddle Formation - kinda goes in one ear and out the other. still fun tho. 3.3
Water Curses - basically what noler said. super dense and lush n stuff but almost to a grating extent. 3.2 |
nolerthebowler
01.16.21 | The War of the Worlds-esque synth beat makes DOOM sound like an alien overlord |

01.16.21 | I was also considering Great Day by Madvillain for my song today... but that’s song is making me more sad than happy rn 😢 |

01.17.21 | I probably have, norm. I usually just write stream-of-consciousness until I get this blinding headache and pass out. Then I wake up the next morning with sheets drenched in blood and no memory of the night before. |
Pangea
01.17.21 | Live is a Love Song - Certainly pretty but it's not really clicking with me. I don't love the vocals and i just don't feel the composition of the song. 2.8
Big A Little A - I really don't like the vocals and personally i don't see how this euphoric at all. 2.0
Disengage The Simulator - fun and catchy, i love the guitar in here. 3.8
Jonah - Yeah this brought a smile to my face. I love the warm voice and the, indeed, euphoric instrumental. 4.5
Take Your Skin Off and Dance - yeah this is fun. i do like this kind of theatrical stuff. 3.5
Trusty and True - pretty sure that this guy has the thinnest voice known to men. 2.2 |

01.17.21 | LTM - 4.2 lovely beat, great verses |

01.18.21 | 16. Operation Lifesaver AKA Mint Test - classic shit. 5.0
17. LTM - am not a big fan of tropical house, but i like their flows. 3.2
18. Não Vá Se Perder Por Aí - cool 60s tune, but without the Portuguese vocals I wouldn't have cared. 3.1 |
Divaman
01.18.21 | Os Mutantes - Yokoesque opening notes, followed by annoying music. (Nice, if silly, pictures, though.) Song kind of catches a groove and stays there, though. It kind of buzzes like a bumblebee. (Is that what they're singing about?) I don't know. 2.6 |
Scheumke
01.19.21 | 9. Disengage the Simulator - 3.8 - Hey I think I know this one, it tickles my memory somehow. Yeah I get why you would find this uplifting/euphoric. I really liked the recurring guitar motif.
10. Jonah - 4.3 - Owh yeah this is my jam. Always found Major Parkinson to be a really odd band in the prog spectrum. But this song is really good, I love the way it builds up with choirs at the end and even though the 80's synth thing might be a little overdone for some, I still enjoy it a lot. Good rec bro!
11. Take Your Skin Off and Dance - 4.2 - Ha this is a lot of fun. Enjoyed the gypsy vibes. Might put on the album later, this really peaked my interest.

01.19.21 | 19. Rising The Sun - cool house jam, i like the lil fluty stuff happening midway. 3.6 |
Divaman
01.19.21 | Jerome Sydenham And Kerri Chandler - Slow synth. Then fast cymbals. Then a cool electronic bass pattern. Then full percussion. Textbook build. Guess this is gonna be all instrumental house music. Playful little synth thingy. I don't know. It's OK, but it's not my thing. Oh wait, it's not over. Damn, it's gonna be more than 6 minutes long. Sigh. (Looking at watch. OK, that was a lie. I don't actually wear a watch. Or rings, or anything. I hate having stuff around my arms and fingers. I hate when you go somewhere and they make you wear wrist bands. I have hairy arms, and the sticky part always sticks to my arm hairs and pulls them. Ow! It sucks when that happens. ... Wait, what were we talking about again? Oh right, this song.) Six minutes in now, should be almost done. Would have given it a 3, but minus .2 points for the length. 2.8 |

01.20.21 | I'm surprised at how much I liked the LTM song. I was kind of expecting to hate it but it's actually a decent bop lol |
dedex
01.20.21 | 20. Semi-Charmed Life - Oh it's that song. Can't deny it's catchy, but also annoying af. 3/5 [2] hard! |
Egarran
01.20.21 | I had that on the mind for 3 days, it was hellish. |
Divaman
01.20.21 | Third Eye Blind - Yeah, I always liked this song, even though my wife and I always referred to it as the testicle song (well, I did, anyway), because that one note just sounds like somebody grabbed the singer's testicles and gave them a hard squeeze. (There's another, much slower, song on the LP where the testicle torturer in question gives them an even worse squeeze, and maybe even a twist. We need more testicle songs in 2021.) 3.5 |

01.20.21 | LTM - I thought Pots hated derivative music? The exotic flutes are pleasant. A nothing track. An even 2.5/5 |
nolerthebowler
01.20.21 | Não Vá Se Perder Por Aí - Ahh this is cute. Reminds me of Paul McCartney’s RAM, but with an even rawer production style. Surprisingly Seamless™️ tempo changes. Makes me want to square dance, but not in English. 4.1/5 |
nolerthebowler
01.20.21 | Rising the Sun - Help, I'm dancing and I can't stop! Reminds me of Trif's rec. I think I like this a bit more. The tones of the various synths and pads are super nice. Nothing too in your face. Not the craziest track in the world, but it makes me feel good. 3.3/5 |
nolerthebowler
01.20.21 | Semi-Charmed Life - I could write a whole ass essay on this, but its already been written countless times. The way this song toes the line between disgusting lyrics about the mentality of addiction, and Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Punk-Rock, is frankly inspiring. There are no rules. It might not be your favorite genre, but this is not just a 90's anthem, it's THE 90's Anthem. 5/5 |

01.20.21 | With me, it's usually more like, "When I have to be with you, I WANT to die." Not you guys, just in general. |

01.21.21 | Pentagram - Wow, how old is this? 2002? I would said the '70s. Sounds like a Humble Pie ripoff. Totally not my thing. (Also not at all what I expected. Thought "Pentagram" would have been black metal or something, not that that would have been better.) For me, this kind of rock is pretty boring. 2.2 |
normaloctagon
01.21.21 | "Wow, how old is this? 2002? I would said the '70s."
First Daze Here (The Vintage Collection) (2001) is the first of two compilations of 1970s material by Virginia doom metal band Pentagram released on Relapse Records. ... Many of the songs were re-recorded for Pentagram's 1980s and 1990s albums. |

01.21.21 | Não Vá Se Perder Por Aí - 3.6 os mutantes is gr8 and this song is v fun

01.22.21 | Polaris - Starts with talking. I hate talking. Shut up and sing. Ok, now we've broken into a light little pop song. Not a great vocalist (kind of reminds me of the guy from Grouplove), but this is fine. I'll go with a 2.9. |
