2018 Mid-Year Song Draft - Round 9 this AM, Round 10/all owed picks this afternoon. (1 Viewer)

Like.

Was thinking if a different song, but good album. 

I have free Spotify, which doesn't allow me to listen to these tunes outright through the link on my phone. YouTube works better for me.

I can post both links - I just figured since we are making the Spotify playlist, it’s easier to just post the Spotify link.

 
I'm just giddy over SKorea ripping out Germany's heart. Since we're all Koreans at the moment, I'll give the best piece of KPop 18 to date. Enjoy.

2. Momoland - Bboom Bboom

Why that's the first time Momoland reached a 100 million views is a mystery to me. 

 
Since I can't really decide what my heavy #### priorities should be I'll try to make a little playlist on the fly, in what would hopefully be a good track order

Doomy/stony coinflip between this and one that I think is more popular with the crowd here and is 40-odd seconds longer.  That'll get picked I'm sure.  I'll lean toward brevity after the heapin helping of Deafheaven.  This cut rules.  GET USED TO IT

King Buffalo - Centurion

Who says there's nothing going down in Rochester

I'm gonna try n avoid the distraction of going back in the old pages of the album thread, but a hearty salud to the guys and gals who bring up some of this great new stuff

2.xx Leon Bridges - Bad Bad News

I didn't love Bridges' debut album a few years ago. Like a lot of neo-soul, I thought it was too heavily rooted in the past.

But I like this song a lot.  There's still a bit of spot-the-influence going on but the references are more diverse.  The vocal is sort of Anderson.Paak.ish and the guitar sound is from the Wes Montgomery song book.  Bridges throws in a great call and response chorus, just enough horns and has the good sense to walk away from the mic before the groove gets tired.

 
Round 3:  Make Me Feel / Janelle Monáe

On “Make Me Feel,” one of two new singles from Monáe’s Dirty Computer (the musician’s first LP in five years), the polymath unpacks a rubbery funk tune that recalls the likes of Prince and Sheila E. Her 1980s influences are clear, down to each massive synth line and the feeling of raw sensual energy woven throughout the song.

Anyone who judges an album by the breadth of the influences displayed on it will be delighted to know that Django Django’s Marble Skies variously features the motorik beat popularised by krautrockers Neu!; twanging guitars with roots in 60s surf music instrumentals; the clipped, electronic chatter of early 80s synthpop; cavernous echo effects drawn from dub reggae; an interlude heavy on the use of vocoder evoking that mid-70s moment when everyone from Electric Light Orchestra to the Alan Parsons Project deployed it to dramatic, behold-the-sound-of-the-future-puny-earthlings effect and airy, expansive vocal harmonies from the sunny end of psychedelia. It is worth noting that the London quartet’s third album features all of these influences within four minutes, on the opening title track.

3. Django Django - Marble Skies

The KEXP performance is excellent; somewhere after the interview in the middle around the 22 minute mark is a cover of Rapture worth the wait. I poked my head in the 2018 music thread to see if anyone had thoughts on the new release. Just Eeph with some modest criticism. I'm probably a bigger fan of most but I think it's a home run.

The record has grown on me as expected.  I still don't love it like I did the first two though. 

I was surprised to see I mentioned their debut when somebody bumped the best album of the past 10 years thread a couple of weeks ago.  Not sure what I was thinking there.

Sniped.  Was my runner up for 1st round selection.  Nice pick.

 
Looks like I owe two and with the Leon song I was going to take now off the board, into the alt country and pop country arenas we go.

Round 2 - Lucero - For The Lonely Ones - digging it and looking forward to the next release in early August

Round 3 - Jason Aldean - Up In Smoke - not one of the first two singles of his 2018 release, but it should be really solid in concert

One of the first songs I dialed up for the delayed draft was from the older stuff. I bet you could name that tune in three tries. ;)

I must've playlisted Devil Like Me after you mentioned RKS originally...it's on now and really good.

I instantly liked this band, too. Jaysus is killing this draft.  How to: Friend, Love, Freefall sounds just great so far.  So did Mayday. 

Just a voice from the wilderness of new music and appreciation.  

 
Cheating a bit with a late 2017 song, but this song has been the #1 rock song in Canada for three weeks, so it is certainly "of 2018". Bonus marks for working in "Itty Bitty Titty Committee" without it sounding completely ridiculous.

Round 4 - The Beaches - T-Shirt

I'M NOT GIVING IT BAAAAAAAACK
