Board 8 > Song of the Week V4, Week 5: First Impressions [sotw]

(+) Yeah! (+)

THEME: First songs from first albums. Go!

- No fatties. Sorry Menji.
- Choose a song, provide a link (no direct downloads, please), and do both of these in a timely manner.
- You have to rate, rank, and comment on every song chosen by another member. It doesn't matter how eloquent your reviews are, we won't judge. Just get 'em in! It's a nice exercise.
- Have your reviews in by the end of our week. Refusal to do so will result in suspensions and expulsions.
- Have fun! This is just a silly thing we do for a few months, no need to take offence, or insult anybody for any reason. Except Giggs. Have at him.

Pinback - Tripoli -

I can't remember which one of you recommended a Pinback song earlier but they've become one of my favorite local acts since then, so thanks. Their debut song leaves nothing to be desired in terms of muicianship or sound quality, easy pick for this week

Mission of Burma - That's When I Reach for My Revolver

"Occulams razor says you are scum" - masterplum

Pinback is awesome. Concrete Seconds is one of my favourite songs. Knew about them before Bartz (I think?) rec'd them /hipster

I think I've rec'd dEUS two times already, don't care. Third time's the charm?

dEUS - Suds & Soda


Technically not the first track on the record because there's an intro, but I think you guys don't mind. RIGHT?



Will get on last week today or tomorrow.

--
Black Turtle won the Guru Contest.

Will think this one over on the train tomorrow!

"30"

Clarification.

2010 Boardy Winner for Mafia Host of the Year

Well, me I guess.

"your ranking is terrible" sort of implies it!

Now that my 3-day busy stretch is over, I can devote some time to this. Maybe I will put one up before bed

"Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?" -Royal
"Oh sure, walk to the sun"- Guybrush

still need a few more songs!

--
ND

Still need a few more rankings imo. more like 5 to be exact. Icon, Snowy, Giggs, Lockes, Seg, and Vince, get to it!

btw ND you didn't rank snowy's rec. You should revise your list.

--
My Japanese alter-ego.
Hey all this is Bartz btw.

oh what how'd i manage that - went straight off the list!

will check it out

--
ND

It wasn't included in KCF's list, just a mistake.

More like Icon neglected to mention that snowy joined SOTW until after I posted the song list

--
"Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?" -Royal
"Oh sure, walk to the sun"- Guybrush

i've been super busy with school stuff so i'll probably get to last week's songs tomorrow night

sorry for the hold up

i have time today, post your songs guys!

--
ND

I kind of want to combine this with last week's so I can catch up in one day, so post your songs indeed. Or else I'll just fall behind more and more like HALF OF YOU PEOPLE

--
http://img.imgcake.com/tyler3gifap.gif

****, the theme this week is a lot harder than I thought it would be for me to find a song that I want to share

--
"Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?" -Royal
"Oh sure, walk to the sun"- Guybrush

yeah what KCF said

--

Ah, **** it

Chuck Berry - "School Days"


--
"Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?" -Royal
"Oh sure, walk to the sun"- Guybrush

Wax Tailor - Que Sera


I have this horrible feeling that I have already rec'd this in a past iteration of SOTW.

Someone please confirm or deny.

Holly Brook - Curious

From her EP

Lyrics are a bit cheesy but god her voice is so good. Her demo for Love the Way you Lie (part 2) under her stage name Skylar Grey is so good. Maybe I'll rec it next week~ (but that would just be a ruined surprise)

--

Sorry for the wait, guys, just got my internet back. And I'll change this if people object to the technicality, but I'd still consider this fair game:

Nas - N.Y. State of Mind
...from the album Illmatic



probably my pick for the most quintessential rap song ever.

--
And if you don't know, now you know.

Still the same song, posting a different link that's the album version and not the single version

dEUS - Suds & Soda

Chrono1219

that doesn't stop everyone else!

--
ND

I'd do this and last week's in a row if I had a list of all the songs and if every song had been rec'd already


but that's not the case

--
http://img.imgcake.com/mosdefswaggifes.gif
