[kupcho1]

11.  Good Girls (Don't Get Used) - Beach Bunny

You're not a ghost
I'm not afraid of you
 

12. Who's Got the Bag? - The Streets

Go back to doing what slaps
It's a matter of duty, damn
F*** the jukebox in the cafe
Good God

Who's got the bag?

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

R12 Another Story From the Center of the Earth - Cory Hanson

This solo album from Wand frontman is possibly my #1 of '21.  Definitely top 3.

https://youtu.be/qIdoSvmTELs

Reminiscent of 80s love rock ballads from hard rock/metal bands like The Scorpions.

Love Matt James vocals.

I agree though the forum doesn’t want me to like this post…

13. Teenage Sequence - All This Art

I'd like to take a moment to point out that there is nothing original about or any other song that has ever been released ever.

The debut single from Teenage Sequence, though, makes LCD Soundsystem and DFA at large feel like a soft open, with Dewan-Dean Soomary elevating James Murphy’s stream-of-consciousness lyrics above irony, his blipping electronic beats beyond their simplistic charm, on the walloping six-and-a-half minute debut single “All This Art.”

Might be too mainstream for the FFA; already over 1000 listeners per month.

Single groove. 

<_<

Naw, did he talk about Dischord records, or am I so old and unhip I missed that he was plugging a label with a different spelling from another genre. I'm going with the latter, but who knows? 

 

[squistion]

13. Squistion - Lake Street Dive - Hypotheticals (Live for WFUV)

https://youtu.be/kTw9q0wSPzI

Probably my favorite contemporary pop rock band, and they incorporate elements of jazz, soul and funk into their music. I could listen to Rachel Price sing all day.  

 

[Eephus]

I've made it through song #88 in the playlist

 

[Eephus]

13.ee - Gabriels - Love and Hate in a Different Time

 

[Eephus]

I may get my nerd card revoked for this one

14.ee - Coldplay - Coloratura

A luscious ten minute long Pop epic that delivers on its ambitions

 

[kupcho1]

14. Arlo Parks - Hurt

Kinda surprised this one was still available.  SOD

Oh, wouldn't it be lovely to feel somethin' for once?

 

[Eephus]

Another one that was drafted (I think) in 2020.

She'll get big points from me if we do AOTY

 

[Northern Voice]

I owe a few...

9.NV - Walking at a Downtown Pace - Parquet Courts

 

[Northern Voice]

Could go any number of directions from this album that somehow hasn't been touched in either draft I think...?

10.NV - Good Girls - CHVRCHES

 

[Northern Voice]

11.NV - Questions - Middle Kids

 

[Northern Voice]

12.NV - The Last Man On Earth - Wolf Alice

 

[Northern Voice]

13.NV - The Walls Are Way Too Thin - Holly Humberstone

[rockaction]

Song: Road Of The Lonely Ones

chill, relaxing, trip hop beat 

 

[squistion]

14. Squistion - Tokyo Groove Jyoshi - Funk No.1

https://youtu.be/3K8dNctci1Y

Female funk groove band formed in 2018 in Tokyo by three Japanese session musicians.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

R13  Jazz on the Autobahn - The Felice Brothers

 

[rockaction]

R13  Jazz on the Autobahn - The Felice Brothers

I loved this. I can't wait to give the list a listen. This is groovy as heck and catchy as you-know-what. 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

R14  The Overload - Yard Act

 

[kupcho1]

R13  Jazz on the Autobahn - The Felice Brothers

Had this teed up for today.  Great song

 

[kupcho1]

15. Family Farm - The Hold Steady

And the nurse that they assigned me had Eruption as her ring tone
Blasting out through built in speakers like it's bug spray
Buzzing like a hornet halfway blown

(Remember when these guys always "won" the FFA album of the year?)

16. I Need Some of That - Weezer

Listening to Aerosmith
Later on I will call my mom
Now I'm pluggin' in to a Marshall stack
I can be anything I want

(Remember when these guys were good?  )

 

[El Floppo]

sorry guys... between Covid and having to run to Orlando for work, I fell behind the 8ball here. apologies if some of these were already tooked.

3-  no son of mine- Foo Fighters (who just released a movie horror/mock-umentary about recording an album at Studio 666). feels like they borrowed from Thee Oh Sees, in a good way.

4- control- Mannequin #####

 

[El Floppo]

5- help is on the way- Wavves

6- keep it together- Pip Blom (one of my favorite albums- sweet, with enough of an guitar edge)

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

sorry guys... between Covid and having to run to Orlando for work, I fell behind the 8ball here. 

Wait, did you have COVID?

 

[El Floppo]

7- big star- Surfbort 

8- END- CHAI (all caps!) no idea why spotify decided I should hear this, and it got an immediate "SHUT IT OFF" from the wife... (usually a good sign) but it grabbed me straight away- bit of Intergalactic vibe. 

 

[El Floppo]

Wait, did you have COVID?

yep. the whole family.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

yep. the whole family.

Damn.  Sorry to hear that.

Is everyone recovered now?  I hope no one was seriously sick.

 

[El Floppo]

9- 

Damn.  Sorry to hear that.

Is everyone recovered now?  I hope no one was seriously sick.

10yo floppinha first, few days of low fever sore throat and exhaution. rebounded well.

floppinho and I next. low fever for a day... floppinho was completely recovered immediately. I was knocked on my butt for a most of a week with exhaustion, but it also triggered my cough-variant asthma in a way my usually robust meds couldn't treat. Bad cough too. I'm really only just getting back to normal a full week and a half later. lung capacity also feels compromised- commuting bike rides the last couple days have been heavy-breathed.

all of us double vaxed.

wife just got her booster and showed up positive too, but completely asymptomatic.

I know you had it pretty bad- how are you doing?

 

[El Floppo]

9- The Wheel- IDLES (this record really didn't grab me, but I still like the songs when I hear them... this was probably my favorite and at this point its' my duty to IDLES represent)

10- G.A.F.F.- Tropical #### Storm (I'll add another of my usual favorites from another album I couldn't get that into... but still dig the tune)

Glad to hear you're all on the mend.

Amazingly, I haven't had it yet, as far as I know. If I did it was asymptomatic.

I'm inundated with it 5 days a week in the clinic now.  We're getting hammered by it every day.  Many positive tests daily over the past 2-3 weeks when previously it was just a few per week.  Sadly, I think it's a question of when, not if, most of us docs will catch it.

ah- I thought you had it, and bad.... from the Covid or vaccine thread. Glad it wasn't you. Who am I mixing you up with? 

after two years of not knowing anybody getting it, everybody we know has had it the last three weeks.... but mild like us.

Gianmarco?

 

[El Floppo]

Gianmarco?

you all look the same to me.

 

[squistion]

7- big star- Surfbort  

Her vocals remind me of Exene Cervenka of X. 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

R15  18 Cigarettes - Ducks Ltd.

Thanks to NV for the heads up on this album.  It's definitely in one of my wheelhouses.

This guy is in pretty good shape after smoking 18 cigarettes a day.

15. Squistion - Ayron Jones - Mercy

https://youtu.be/wB593WIQ674

There is still a place for lead guitarists among today's generation of music artists. Ayron Jones is out of the Seattle rock scene and has drawn Jimi Hendrix comparisons

Peak flopponess here

 

[Eephus]

Listened to traces #93 to #108 of the playlist today.  The mix was dominated by Classic Rock sounding stuff that's not something I usually get exposed to via the algorithm and my usual radio outlets.  Thoroughly enjoyed the guitar solo of the Cory Hanson song that accompanied Lou and I up a big hill.
