Fluttershy_Pony 10/09/19 7:01:21 PM #352: | ====================== #74 [#129]: Name: Futures Origin: Jimmy Eat World Link: https://open.spotify.com/track/0xcaCnpCnhmFHH44MQhJ0Q?si=fSwAKb0hQ66R202vAZoUzQ Nominator: Bane (5/15) (6, 6.5, 8.5) [Its a perfectly fine song, but for a political song, it doesnt seem to take much of a stand on anything. If it weren't for the song's release date (and interviews with the band), I wouldn't even know who the song was against.] ...Seriously for being an anti-Bush song, I can't find anything that actually points to him directly. Or even indirectly for that matter. It's so vague that you can pretty much use the song as a complaint against any incumbent president, which...ehh...I could see arguing that it gives it a more timeless quality, but I don't think it really works for a protest song. Heck, this song is so vague, I see some people managed to miss the political angle entirely which isn't a good sign; can't inspire the electorate if they don't even know you're trying to inspire them in the first place. Still, I think I like his voice and the song in general. [Final Thoughts: I appreciate what they were going for, but I still think they should have pushed things harder. It's just too restrained to make a great protest song.] ===================== ==================== #73 [#109]: Name: Chikatto Chika Chika Origin: Chika Fujiwara (Konomi Kohara) Link: Nominator: handsomeboy (6/15) (8, 6.5, 8.5) [Laughed more than I have at any of the other nominations so far. The interlude was great and the singing was cute.] It's cute and funny, not much else to say. I don't think I had even heard of the anime before this, but Chika seems like a fun character. I'm not entirely sure why it got a score so much lower on the second listen. [Final Thoughts: Sad we lost the original version of this video, though it had no impact on things. I should probably update the link to point at something, but I can't decide a link with English subs or a link that has her dance, so I'll just be lame and stick with the broken link.] ==================== --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony ...
