Seginustemple 12/18/17 6:48:01 AM #86:	I'm just the worst. Half-ass writeups this time I'm tired The Gun Club - Give Up the Sun Feels like a Doors jam that overstays its welcome (I IV V ad nauseum) I think the singer whiffs some notes but the imperfections kinda give it character Glassjaw - Jesus Glue Someone really tried to sell me on these guys about twelve years ago and I never got around to checking them out. Kinda wish I had because I dig the sound of this, and it's something I would have been more into at that age although I still like it a lot even now. Thrashy melodic grindcore with some exciting twists and turns Gorillaz - Superfast Jellyfish Colorful and quirky like a mid-2000's Zooey Deschanel movie...almost too goofy for its own good. Fun but insubstantial like a (insert previous simile) Simon Phillips - Upside in Downside Up Wow that's awesome, holy shit. I loved the middle part with the rhodes, that 70's fusion sound is golden. Sick geetar solo was just a cherry on top La Roux - Colorless Color Ah yes I remember her from the iconsience series. Sleek, well-produced (synth)pop that lacks an edge but carries an energy Priests - Suck I enjoyed the lackadaiscal progression, somehow didn't even notice the sax first time through. Good background jams for my current Dark Souls adventure Reba McEntire - The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia It's not until you type it out that "McEntire" sounds like a completely made-up name. Wait, those keyboards at the beginning...it's the John Cena song hell yeah! Reba must have a pretty dark sense of humor because the happiest sounding part of the tune involves a corrupt judicial system hanging innocent men...dramatic irony is an effective storytelling device that's for sure. Wrabel - The Village Great dynamics on this song, it really underpromises and overdelivers. Dude has a powerful voice and oh shit a touching message to boot? What a pleasant surprise. Reminds me of that 'too late to 'pologize' tune by who the fuck ever Peeping Tom - We're Not Alone Unique vibe here, metallic dub almost. I was going to say it reminds me of Fantomas but then a wild Mike Patton appeared and I started hearing all the Keyser Soze clues around me that makes it so obvious in hindsight. I swear this dude has so many side projects he could fill an entire Coachella lineup. He needs his own genre tag. Oh yeah uh...I liked it! Julian Casablancas - River of Brakelights Ooh interesting, just distorted and bizarre enough to keep it unpredictable without sacrificing accessibility. Not into the ending (I wanted it to keep getting darker and heavier!) but there's a lot else to feast on here and the aesthetic has high potential in my estimation. Art By Numbers - Best Laid Plans How does every other dude have this voice nowadays but before like 2000 I never heard anyone sing this way? Mysteries of the universe. I prefer the jazz idioms to the drama-metal stuff so the bookends of this song are where I'm at.
