03.02.23 | 2. 2Pac: Troublesome '96 - Not 100% how this plays into the theme, maybe all those cheating guys? Anyway, I've always preferred "guy with a message" 2Pac over "pantomiming being a tough guy and ultimately getting himself killed messing with powers he didn't understand, namely Suge, guy" 2Pac. So this is NOT in my wheelhouse (however music is also less dated sounding than usual), but damn if 2Pac STILL doesn't have one of the best rap voices of all time. 3.6 |

https://youtu.be/lqEvNYppvjw
as much as I love OPN’s post-returnal albums (r+7 is in my top 5 oat), his early juno-60 progelectronic material is special to me in ways that most music isn’t. ive plumbed the depths of synth music looking for anything that comes even close to early OPN and honestly nothing feels the same. pure sublime escapism that I’ll never stop listening to.
also, not blurb, but I’m excited to participate again. i need some new music to dig and hopefully I’ll find something here I’ve never heard before. Cheers. |

03.04.23 | Nah drifter sometimes I search for the song on my streaming service caus YouTube requires you have focus on the track or it doesn't play so I must have picked the wrong song or it was mislabeled (I use YouTube music so you get all sorts of stuff in searches) |

03.04.23 | 4. Jimmy Nail: Ain't no doubt - This song is hilarious and also kinda fire. Those interludes and then that big note, perfect. Jimmy is on point in the video, love it. 4.0 |
Vercetti
03.04.23 | 1. Special Agents – fogza digging up some really unknown music here. Gotta respect that. Not a big fan of the song though – 3.0
2. Troublesome '96 – Well, he’s talking about his enemys. I guess this could be about betrayal. Not sure why Tupac wanted to compare himself to Mussolini, Idi Amin etc. – 3.5
3. In my darkest hour – I never really got into Megadeth and still think they are the worst of the big 4. This song doesn’t change that opinion of mine, but I do like the guitar – 3.5
4. Ain't no doubt – Not my type of beat, but good lyrics/vocals – 3.5 |
Vercetti
03.04.23 | Blue Öyster Cult – Then Came the Last Days of May (https://youtu.be/gaQhiPjbXRg)
From their debut album
The song is about a true event. Here is how Buck Dharma explained what happened: “Three Stony Brook students went to Tuscon, Arizona, to buy some bulk marijuana for resale. I don’t know how they got whatever contact they had, but it was two brothers. (…) They never intended to sell them any pot. They just wanted to rip ’em off and shoot ’em, which they did. They took them out to the desert and shot them. It was three guys, and one managed to survive and get back to the highway.” (https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/music/2017-08-09/buck-dharma-in-the-21st-century/) |

03.05.23 | 1. van der Want Letcher - Special Agents
What a masterclass in dynamics, fuck me 4.5
2. 2pac - Troublesome '96
"The hook contains an interpolation of “Hatikva.” Israel’s national anthem." apologies for quoting a Genius note, but that explains why the chorus is so hard. Great track, Pac's delivery is all-in and that third verse rounds shit out thoughtfully. 4.7
3. Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour
Cool guitars, good outro, wish the vocals would find a melody or two that don't sound entirely improvised at some point 3
4. Jimmy Nail - Ain't No Doubt
I wanna hardline these basslines. Prechorus into chorus is so fucking good every time. Hard not to laugh at versevocals, but they work well enough 4
5. Pulp - Babies
What an oddly endearing creepshow 3.5 |

03.05.23 | @vercetti pac was talking about his group the outlawz. napoleon, mussolini (big syke), edi mean, hussein fatal, kastro, yaki kadafi were all just rap aliases |

03.05.23 | "The melody for "Hatikvah" derives from "La Mantovana", a 16th-century Italian song, composed by Giuseppe Cenci (Giuseppino del Biado) ca. 1600 with the text "Fuggi, fuggi, fuggi da questo cielo"."

03.08.23 | 6. Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse - Revenge
Egads, I've never actually perused Danger Mouse's credits before. Was gonna namedrop Kiwanuka in response to this track, which turned out to be a rare prescient moment for mine ears. Song itself is quite excessively nice, but nothing too special. Would be more nice in the midst of an album methinks 3
7. God - My Pal
Whowhathow? It is punk, but it is vaguely unique. Straya 3.3
8. Slapp Happy - Casablanca Moon
Henry Cow adjacent bovinian grace! Cheeky and silly and musical! Intrigue indidue! 4 |

9. Dog Fashion Disco - Private Eye
Damn Boffyboi, was it you that outed me as an early Mr. Bungle fan a few months ago? Stop it, it's embarassing. 3.7
10. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - John Finn's Wife
Wow, I hadn't listened to anything prior to Let Love In yet. Will remedy that soon. 4.2
11. Matt Elliott - Planting Seeds
Satirical violent propaganda that knows you'll at least nibble at that bait, soothing your soul as it strings you along. Gonna go listen to Drinking Songs for the first time, thanks. (outro is a bit excessive(hmmm unless it's a closer?)) 4.8 with room to G R O W

9. Private Eye – Interesting – 3.5 |

03.09.23 | 9. Dog Fashion Disco: Private Eye - It is kinda interesting. I like the musical parts, not so sure about the hard boiled narrative parts. But very on theme. 3.5 |
Pheromone
03.09.23 | matt elliott is the goat |

03.10.23 | 10.Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds: John Finn's Wife - More Nick Cave goonery, you either love it or hate it I suppose, the ending is a nice payoff. 3.2 |

03.10.23 | 11. Matt Elliott: Planting Seeds - Hate to be the party pooper but I don't get the appeal of Matt Elliott. 2.5 |

03.10.23 | 12. D’Angelo: Shit, damn, motherfucker - Maybe I've just been spoiled by Black Messiah but I find this a bit pedestrian. 3 |

03.13.23 | 13. 12 Rods - I Wish You Were a Girl - Pretty neat little scenario based song. 3.6

10. John Finn's Wife - such a great buildup i wanna call it chauncey buildup. 3.7
11. Planting Seeds - didn't do much :[ 2.5
12. Shit, Damn, Motherfucker - great one, but yeah compared to the best tunes from Black Messiah this is *kinda* lacklustre. Still great. 3.4
13. I Wish You Were a Girl - 90s indie rock? yeehaw!! 4.1 |

lol I thought he was saying "I feel Greek if you know what I mean" and I was quite certain that I did indeed understand. More fool I. Anywhomsth, this is pretty great, but doesn't quite make the most of its runtime. 3.7
14. The Wedding Present - Lovenest
Vocalist ain't my cuppa. Production is nice and raw (oh hi Steve) but it's just not quite stacking up for me 3
15. Oneohtrix Point Never - Betrayed in the Octagon

Faced Out (USA-MO) - Jimmy the Anthill Prince. off their self titled album (AOTY) contender.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t8Q23xtqDY
Lyrics are excellent too.
"When you're the middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention.
With the hilt of my magnifying glass
I will seize the day
With my emotions controlled and my inhibitions at bay
From its lease a rapturous cleanse sears the ground charcoal black
and burns away their sins....."

fogza
03.20.23 | 18. Nancy Sinatra: Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Also can be loosely defined as a "classic", perhaps in the way that say "I got you babe" is a classic. Anyways, I'll be candid, I hate this song. It's boring, repetitive, and exists to be revived by Tarantino movies. 2 |

03.20.23 | 19. Tropical Fuck Storm: Reporting Of A Failed Campaign - Maybe I've finally discovered the hard bitten storytelling Australian artist I can get behind in Gareth Liddiard. 3.8 |

4. Ain't No Doubt - this is super silly, but kinda fun? i really like the chorus even if the verses get a bit on my nerves. 3.7
5. Babies - lovely guitar line, rest of the song doesn't do too much for me though. 3.3
6. Nice if maybe a little uneventful. Last minute or so is the best part. 3.2 |

03.21.23 | when i first heard the verses i was mentally ready to give a sub 2.5 rating but then the chorus got me and the song grew on me in my 2-3 listen |

03.21.23 | 1. van der Want Letcher - Special Agents: Frightened Rabbit - a film by Guy Ritchie okay yes this feels longer than it should 3.3
2. 2pac - Troublesome '96: all intrigue limited betrayal definite beat audible bars drifter has done it watch that kid this song's outro is kinda running on fumes 3.4
3. Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour: never got to this in my short-lived Megadeth phase, intro is tight but damn, that verse riff is hella boring and Dave M kinda drags his heels over this. was ready to laugh at y'all philistines not getting this, but it's disappointing and not great a l a s next 3.0 |

03.21.23 | 4. Jimmy Nail - Ain't No Doubt: I Need Karaoke Immediately 4.1
5. Pulp - Babies: I spent a long time actively ignoring Pulp but also feel I've read these lyrics before? Song is acceptable forgettable kitchen sink 3.3
6. Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - Revenge feat. Wayne Coyne: this is actually one of the better later career Wayne songs I've heard in a hot minute, damn. Good cute fluffy sadoldman song 3.6
7. GOD - My Pal: this is basically a potato recording of some chump yelling over half the Friends theme being played on infinite repeat no thank you 2.0 |

03.21.23 | i am thrilled with this late surge by pan and jotw, and had an excited chill run through me imagining johnny singing ain't no doubt with a sput team providing backing vocals on the chorus |

03.22.23 | 22. Fever Ray: Even It Out - Not really sure about the intrigue / betrayal angle here. Anyway, this is a song from my fave album of the year so far. It is the weakest song on the album apart from the closer which doesn't really operate as a song anyway. It's still pretty good. 3.6 |

03.22.23 | 22. Even It Out - don't vibe much with Kristin in album doses but as a lil snippet this is coo. 3.1 |

19. Milo recommends something cool after two stone cold classics and gets dunked on. aight [unrated]
20. Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night
For the love of god I'm looking to find music not rediscover radio darlings. Anyway, we're on theme and we're crushing it, sure, another 5 |
