fogza 03.01.23	The spreadsheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yo9Aj7t1IZwG41xFgX9kzIugIsVckENq5RnQace1WDw/edit#gid=1878493465 If you have not done this before, comment to rec a song. Include the artist and song name, and a link where we can hear the track (Youtube, Spotify, bandcamp, whatevs). Let's be civil and try to keep song picks to 8 mins or less! 🕵️ I am always watching, and ars probably is too. If you're feeling especially civic you can comment along on the songs and score them on a daily (or weekly or whatever) basis. Friends, Romans, countrymen, now is the time to rec songs.

fogza 03.01.23	WHY DOES SHE PRETEEEEEEEND
SlothcoreSam 03.01.23	Ok got one, but had to add the band to the database, and they're a classic Australian punk band, Sput sleeping again. This one was a single, but you'll find it on their compilation GOD, but let's go with the live version, it's even better. GOD-My Pal https://youtu.be/IQdA3M1tag4 Band is under God (AU)
Pheromone 03.02.23	can i link an album because the version which opens the album is the best version
fogza 03.02.23	Maybe you could, i dunno, link the version which opens the album 😛? Or are there no available linkable medias which separate the song from the album?
Pheromone 03.02.23	i have been searching - none on spotify or youtube. i could download it and do it myself however however however i am lazy i might just post the henry cow version ://///
Pheromone 03.02.23	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htEeov7bzyo Slapp Happy - Casablanca Moon a lovely little song about a detective getting his head choppd
PumpBoffBag 03.02.23	Dog Fashion Disco - Private Eye Album: Adultery https://youtu.be/wmLQ56PR7yw

Mort. 03.02.23	1. van der want lechter - special agents (4/10) 2. 2pac - troublesome 96 (6/10)
JohnnyoftheWell 03.02.23	ratings out of 5 you despicable piece of shit "Slapp Happy - Casablanca Moon" incredibly based
JohnnyoftheWell 03.02.23	and hmmm Nick Cave + the BS - John Finn's Wife (from Henry's Dream) infidelity, betrayal, murder, madness, infidelity, dance, highpowerlvl string coda yes good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-vwvaQ7-Kc
porcupinetheater 03.02.23	We have all been betrayed by the promises of capitalism so Komrads shh shh and take up your arms Matt Elliott - Planting Seeds (from Failing Songs) https://youtu.be/sNlpJvR-Now
fogza 03.02.23	2. 2Pac: Troublesome '96 - Not 100% how this plays into the theme, maybe all those cheating guys? Anyway, I've always preferred "guy with a message" 2Pac over "pantomiming being a tough guy and ultimately getting himself killed messing with powers he didn't understand, namely Suge, guy" 2Pac. So this is NOT in my wheelhouse (however music is also less dated sounding than usual), but damn if 2Pac STILL doesn't have one of the best rap voices of all time. 3.6
fogza 03.02.23	"ratings out of 5 you despicable piece of shit" I have divided the sausage's score by 2 thus avoiding a crisis on the spreadsheet
budgie 03.02.23	"ratings out of 5 you despicable piece of shit wow, wow wow oww. wow wow wow,wow, wow, wow,,,,wow.... wow.... wow wow wow wow woww wow...wowo... whos boiled hyour potatos jiM!
JohnnyoftheWell 03.02.23	i boiled my potatoes i am not a literal child
budgie 03.02.23	you couldnt boil your way outta a paper bag
budgie 03.02.23	sry that was rude. u could probably do that
budgie 03.02.23	actually no
JohnnyoftheWell 03.02.23	wow nice, gonna carry on shitting your guts all over this thread or are you finally gonna delete yourself from orbit forever ugh i hate birds
ArsMoriendi 03.02.23	“Shit, Damn, Motherfucker” by D’Angelo (from Brown Sugar) A song about a wife who cheats with her husband’s best friend. So much betrayal https://youtu.be/FzKo5twEKIw
budgie 03.02.23	🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
robertsona 03.02.23	12 Rods - I Wish You Were a Girl "secret" desire, hard to read. good song
anat 03.02.23	wedding present - lovenest: https://youtu.be/9RTW40qMmtM I heard another voice this morning on the phone But just the other day I thought you said you slept alone And yes I knew that laughter, okay, now I see You wouldn't even know him if it hadn't been for me!
Hyperion1001 03.02.23	oneohtrix point never - betrayed in the octagon https://youtu.be/lqEvNYppvjw as much as I love OPN’s post-returnal albums (r+7 is in my top 5 oat), his early juno-60 progelectronic material is special to me in ways that most music isn’t. ive plumbed the depths of synth music looking for anything that comes even close to early OPN and honestly nothing feels the same. pure sublime escapism that I’ll never stop listening to. also, not blurb, but I’m excited to participate again. i need some new music to dig and hopefully I’ll find something here I’ve never heard before. Cheers.
Trifolium 03.02.23	Warhaus - Time Bomb https://youtu.be/1ODbpcQYy3U (from Ha Ha Heartbreak) Album is GOOOOOOOOD. Track is gooooooooood!
Ryus 03.02.23	famous blue raincoat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohk3DP5fMCg a cryptic song about a love triangle and infidelity by the master of suicidal folk
Mort. 03.02.23	johnny cant divide by 2, spread the word
Drifter 03.02.23	oh i just saw the word betrayal and went with how it’s about people who tried to kill him. didn’t realize it was supposed to be cheating that’s really depressing!!
JohnnyoftheWell 03.02.23	attempted murders are based we stan this
fogza 03.03.23	Nah drifter that's a good justification I am sold EDIT: fml I think I listened to the wrong song lmao sorry for the confusion, I thought it didn't sound like the right track
dedex 03.03.23	Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEFa4ztm9P0 he shot me down 😥 btw it's a cover! OG was from Cher!!
fogza 03.03.23	3. Megadeth: In my darkest hour - Yeah I'm not listening to this whole song, I'll 2.5 it because I didn't make it to the end, that's fair I think. I've been around long enough to get the gist of Megadeth and have earned the right to opt out of their songs.
fogza 03.03.23	"this is a great theme btw fogza one day i will betray you" phero it sounds like it will make a good screenplay get robertsona on it
MiloRuggles 03.03.23	Tropical Fuck Storm - Reporting Of A Failed Campaign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddZlXf1STqk
dedex 03.03.23	1. Special Agents - now i associate this kind of 90s folk-influenced shouty alt rock to fogza and this one is very good. 3.8 2. 2Pac - Troublesome '96 - not my fav 2Pac tune but hey a 2Pac is already mega cool. 3.6 3. Megadeth - In my darkest hour - very Megadeth-y indeed. 3.3
Drifter 03.03.23	"Nah drifter that's a good justification I am sold EDIT: fml I think I listened to the wrong song lmao sorry for the confusion, I thought it didn't sound like the right track" lmao what did you listen to did i give a bad link?
Drifter 03.03.23	3. In My Darkest Hour - This actually shocked me how good it was. Dave was actually tolerable. 3.9/5
Hyperion1001 03.03.23	very funny to me that you put the part in the blurb that I explicitly said not to hahahaha please leave it.
Drifter 03.03.23	whaaa
fogza 03.04.23	I am just messing up all round on this although you have to admit my update turnaround time is pretty sick
fogza 03.04.23	Nah drifter sometimes I search for the song on my streaming service caus YouTube requires you have focus on the track or it doesn't play so I must have picked the wrong song or it was mislabeled (I use YouTube music so you get all sorts of stuff in searches)
fogza 03.04.23	4. Jimmy Nail: Ain't no doubt - This song is hilarious and also kinda fire. Those interludes and then that big note, perfect. Jimmy is on point in the video, love it. 4.0
Vercetti 03.04.23	1. Special Agents – fogza digging up some really unknown music here. Gotta respect that. Not a big fan of the song though – 3.0 2. Troublesome '96 – Well, he’s talking about his enemys. I guess this could be about betrayal. Not sure why Tupac wanted to compare himself to Mussolini, Idi Amin etc. – 3.5 3. In my darkest hour – I never really got into Megadeth and still think they are the worst of the big 4. This song doesn’t change that opinion of mine, but I do like the guitar – 3.5 4. Ain't no doubt – Not my type of beat, but good lyrics/vocals – 3.5
Vercetti 03.04.23	Blue Öyster Cult – Then Came the Last Days of May (https://youtu.be/gaQhiPjbXRg) From their debut album The song is about a true event. Here is how Buck Dharma explained what happened: “Three Stony Brook students went to Tuscon, Arizona, to buy some bulk marijuana for resale. I don’t know how they got whatever contact they had, but it was two brothers. (…) They never intended to sell them any pot. They just wanted to rip ’em off and shoot ’em, which they did. They took them out to the desert and shot them. It was three guys, and one managed to survive and get back to the highway.” (https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/music/2017-08-09/buck-dharma-in-the-21st-century/)
MiloRuggles 03.05.23	1. van der Want Letcher - Special Agents What a masterclass in dynamics, fuck me 4.5 2. 2pac - Troublesome '96 "The hook contains an interpolation of “Hatikva.” Israel’s national anthem." apologies for quoting a Genius note, but that explains why the chorus is so hard. Great track, Pac's delivery is all-in and that third verse rounds shit out thoughtfully. 4.7 3. Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour Cool guitars, good outro, wish the vocals would find a melody or two that don't sound entirely improvised at some point 3 4. Jimmy Nail - Ain't No Doubt I wanna hardline these basslines. Prechorus into chorus is so fucking good every time. Hard not to laugh at versevocals, but they work well enough 4 5. Pulp - Babies What an oddly endearing creepshow 3.5
Drifter 03.05.23	@vercetti pac was talking about his group the outlawz. napoleon, mussolini (big syke), edi mean, hussein fatal, kastro, yaki kadafi were all just rap aliases
budgie 03.05.23	isnt israel's national anthem a rip off of smetana
MiloRuggles 03.05.23	huh yeah, apparently there's something goin on there. wanna be on my pub quiz team?
Egarran 03.05.23	"The melody for "Hatikvah" derives from "La Mantovana", a 16th-century Italian song, composed by Giuseppe Cenci (Giuseppino del Biado) ca. 1600 with the text "Fuggi, fuggi, fuggi da questo cielo"." heheheh
Pheromone 03.05.23	gonna catch up on this today woo
Vercetti 03.05.23	@drifter okay, that explains it. But I still think those are weird aliases.
fogza 03.06.23	5. Pulp: Babies - Never was that big into Pulp but this was a great single. That tingly guitar on the chorus, just delicious. 4
dedex 03.06.23	4. Ain't No Doubt - yo this FUCKING BANGS!! not even 9AM on a Monday and I wanna go to the club. 4.0 5. Babies - i never really listened to Pulp but apparently they're cool? 3.6 6. Revenge - mood. 3.4
fogza 03.06.23	6. Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse: Revenge - This is solid but like I want a bit more from it, it's not got that extra gear that it needs. Great vocal. 3.5
fogza 03.07.23	7. GOD: My Pal - Great song, sounds like the best moments of the Replacements. Add to listening log, proceed to go, do collect 200 Australian dollars. 4
dedex 03.07.23	7. My Pal - REPLACEMENTS ? Ok yeah, Replacements. Love the Replacements. This is great. 3.9
budgie 03.07.23	"napoleon, mussolini (big syke), hussein fatal, kastro, yaki kadafi" one of these things is not like the others
Egarran 03.07.23	uh oh here comes the history nerd
budgie 03.07.23	you break my heart for the last time egarran
Egarran 03.07.23	you meant kastro right?
fogza 03.08.23	8. Slapp Happy: Casablanca Moon - Cute little bit of pop theatre. 3.5
fogza 03.08.23	Been a good run of songs this last 5
dedex 03.08.23	8. Casablanca Moon - once again fogza comes up with the perfect description. ugh. 3.4
Pheromone 03.08.23	i will catch up with this today
fogza 03.08.23	it's ok SOTD i know phero promised to be here for your birthday but just because he got sidetracked it doesn't mean he doesn't love you
Pheromone 03.08.23	see SOTD i bought you a bag from your favourite tv show - oh what do you mean you haven't watched in since you were a kid?
fogza 03.08.23	heheheeheh
MiloRuggles 03.08.23	6. Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse - Revenge Egads, I've never actually perused Danger Mouse's credits before. Was gonna namedrop Kiwanuka in response to this track, which turned out to be a rare prescient moment for mine ears. Song itself is quite excessively nice, but nothing too special. Would be more nice in the midst of an album methinks 3 7. God - My Pal Whowhathow? It is punk, but it is vaguely unique. Straya 3.3 8. Slapp Happy - Casablanca Moon Henry Cow adjacent bovinian grace! Cheeky and silly and musical! Intrigue indidue! 4
fogza 03.08.23	i am enjoying milo being here it is like having a big smiley toothy dog around
Egarran 03.08.23	oh that phero you hate him when he's away, you love him when he's around
MiloRuggles 03.09.23	i am enjoying being milo here it is like being a big smiley toothy dog who is going to do the weekend's rating now because he is in a big smiley toothy mood 9. Dog Fashion Disco - Private Eye Damn Boffyboi, was it you that outed me as an early Mr. Bungle fan a few months ago? Stop it, it's embarassing. 3.7 10. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - John Finn's Wife Wow, I hadn't listened to anything prior to Let Love In yet. Will remedy that soon. 4.2 11. Matt Elliott - Planting Seeds Satirical violent propaganda that knows you'll at least nibble at that bait, soothing your soul as it strings you along. Gonna go listen to Drinking Songs for the first time, thanks. (outro is a bit excessive(hmmm unless it's a closer?)) 4.8 with room to G R O W 12. D'Angelo - Shit, Damn, Motherfucker Posting D'Angelo is cheating of the highest order and I absolutely will tolerate it. 5
Vercetti 03.09.23	5. Babies – Chill-out rock music – 3.5 6. Revenge – More chill-out music – 3.5 7. My Pal – This is fun – 4.0 8. Casablanca Moon – Nice melody – 4.0 9. Private Eye – Interesting – 3.5
fogza 03.09.23	9. Dog Fashion Disco: Private Eye - It is kinda interesting. I like the musical parts, not so sure about the hard boiled narrative parts. But very on theme. 3.5
Pheromone 03.09.23	matt elliott is the goat
fogza 03.10.23	10.Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds: John Finn's Wife - More Nick Cave goonery, you either love it or hate it I suppose, the ending is a nice payoff. 3.2
fogza 03.10.23	11. Matt Elliott: Planting Seeds - Hate to be the party pooper but I don't get the appeal of Matt Elliott. 2.5
fogza 03.10.23	12. D’Angelo: Shit, damn, motherfucker - Maybe I've just been spoiled by Black Messiah but I find this a bit pedestrian. 3
fogza 03.13.23	13. 12 Rods - I Wish You Were a Girl - Pretty neat little scenario based song. 3.6
dedex 03.13.23	9. Private Eye - very film noir when there is a flashback (and apparently a sex scene)! 3.3 10. John Finn's Wife - such a great buildup i wanna call it chauncey buildup. 3.7 11. Planting Seeds - didn't do much :[ 2.5 12. Shit, Damn, Motherfucker - great one, but yeah compared to the best tunes from Black Messiah this is kinda lacklustre. Still great. 3.4 13. I Wish You Were a Girl - 90s indie rock? yeehaw!! 4.1
JohnnyoftheWell 03.13.23	>"Cute little bit of pop theatre" >"perfect description" >"you either love it or hate it I suppose" >"3.2" y'all are coasting this month yikes. will catch up on this imminently
fogza 03.13.23	just to clear up, I don't like Nick's goonery but the music is ok and the ending sort of rescues it, hence the 3.2
fogza 03.13.23	johnny i understand your lack of movement on this, it must slow you down having periphery fans stealing your backpack and damaging your scooter tyres
fogza 03.14.23	14. Wedding present: Lovenest - Sounds like a man trapped in a maze who keeps on coming up dead ended. Great breakdown. 3.8
dedex 03.14.23	14. Lovenest - great breakdown indeed, but im not convinced by the dude's voice. also very long coda. 3.1
fogza 03.15.23	15.Oneohtrix point never: Betrayed in the octagon - Relaxing synth thang. I'm fetch questing in my miiiiiind. 3.4
dedex 03.15.23	15. Betrayed in the octagon - perfect jam for this sunny morning. 3.8
veninblazer 03.15.23	Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Unplugged In New York)
fogza 03.15.23	updated
dedex 03.16.23	16. Time Bomb - very, very classy (and Triffy!). love it. 4.0
fogza 03.16.23	16.Warhaus: Time Bomb - It's not bad but it runs about a minute too long, found my mind wandering before the finale. 3.3
MiloRuggles 03.16.23	13. 12 Rods - I Wish You Were a Girl lol I thought he was saying "I feel Greek if you know what I mean" and I was quite certain that I did indeed understand. More fool I. Anywhomsth, this is pretty great, but doesn't quite make the most of its runtime. 3.7 14. The Wedding Present - Lovenest Vocalist ain't my cuppa. Production is nice and raw (oh hi Steve) but it's just not quite stacking up for me 3 15. Oneohtrix Point Never - Betrayed in the Octagon Today was stressful and I have now officially been soothed, ty Daniel. Seems more an album track than a single track, and WHERE is the INTRIGUE pray tell?? 3.4 16. Warhaus - Time Bomb Was already sold on this sexy smoovness and jerky strings and then those backing vocals hit and the drummer occasionally goes THWACK and ph
MiloRuggles 03.16.23	woar buddy I am sold! Pretty gorgeous photography goin on here too. Boy oh boy we even hit the slow-creeping melodies in the back end! lol ofc this was trif, ily ty I'ma go check this album. 4.5
Egarran 03.16.23	Continuing the revenge sub-theme, this Fever Ray song is made for it. Even It Out: https://youtu.be/aozqSrIBpEs AND THEN WE CUT
fogza 03.16.23	I just realised Eg jumped the gun but who am kidding, TIME FOR SECOND RECS EVERYONE, I've added mine so long.
fogza 03.17.23	17. Leonard Cohen: Famous Blue Raincoat - Ok this violates my internal code wrt songs which are a bit too legendary for SOTD. It's a 5 but I'm going to 3.8 it to seriously hobble any chance of victory.
dedex 03.17.23	17. Famous blue raincoat - phwoar long time no hear, Leo. this is a pretty good song of yours. 4.4
budgie 03.17.23	im here to eat johnnys soul
fogza 03.17.23	not sure if here is the right place for that. if you wanted to eat my or dedex's soul you might have a shot
budgie 03.17.23	dont YOU tell me where i can or cant eat souls
fogza 03.17.23	i'm just saying you might have a higher success rate on the new veils thread, that's all. i'm fully supportive of your soul eating agenda
budgie 03.17.23	stop OPPRESSING ME
SlothcoreSam 03.19.23	Here's my second rec, from a new album Faced Out (USA-MO) - Jimmy the Anthill Prince. off their self titled album (AOTY) contender. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t8Q23xtqDY Lyrics are excellent too. "When you're the middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention. With the hilt of my magnifying glass I will seize the day With my emotions controlled and my inhibitions at bay From its lease a rapturous cleanse sears the ground charcoal black and burns away their sins....." https://facedout.bandcamp.com/track/jimmy-the-anthill-prince-2
Pangea 03.19.23	The Wrens - Hopeless (from the Meadowlands) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FditI_wlg6o sorry for not joining earlier but i kinda decided earlier this month that i kinda needed a break from everything, including sotd. But i'm here now and i will probably attempt to catch up at some point
Pangea 03.19.23	the biggest betrayal of this thread are phero's false promises
fogza 03.20.23	"the biggest betrayal of this thread are phero's false promises" harsh but fair 👋
fogza 03.20.23	18. Nancy Sinatra: Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Also can be loosely defined as a "classic", perhaps in the way that say "I got you babe" is a classic. Anyways, I'll be candid, I hate this song. It's boring, repetitive, and exists to be revived by Tarantino movies. 2
fogza 03.20.23	19. Tropical Fuck Storm: Reporting Of A Failed Campaign - Maybe I've finally discovered the hard bitten storytelling Australian artist I can get behind in Gareth Liddiard. 3.8
fogza 03.20.23	20. Blue Öyster Cult: Then Came the Last Days of May - Man the BOC always sound so relaxed. 3.2
Egarran 03.20.23	Phero is a good man I swear If only you could see him outside sputnik
dedex 03.20.23	19. Reporting Of A Failed Campaign - I remember liking this album but i don't remember this song. eh. 3.0 20. Then Came the Last Days of May - wanna smoke hard. 3.8
Pangea 03.20.23	1. Special Agents - i can't really stand this brand of whiny indie vocals. 2.5 2 Troublesome '96 - this is a vibe. 3.3
fogza 03.21.23	21. Nirvana: Where did you sleep last night? - Ok another legendary performance, which means it shouldn't win. I'm gonna 3.8 this one to hobble it a bit out of the gate.
dedex 03.21.23	21. Where Did You Sleep Last Night - this is a 5 innit idc. ok, 4.8
fogza 03.21.23	Lol dedex with half measures pleasing NOONE
dedex 03.21.23	im pleasing myself!!!! and not in a kinky way
fogza 03.21.23	dedex i would never judge you. oh wait, this entire thread is about judging, i am a liar
Egarran 03.21.23	Maybe next month's theme can be masturbation.
Pangea 03.21.23	3. In my darkest hour - kinda passed me by on my both listens, but not bad. 3.0 4. Ain't No Doubt - this is super silly, but kinda fun? i really like the chorus even if the verses get a bit on my nerves. 3.7 5. Babies - lovely guitar line, rest of the song doesn't do too much for me though. 3.3 6. Nice if maybe a little uneventful. Last minute or so is the best part. 3.2
fogza 03.21.23	"this is super silly, but kinda fun? " he's lying "i really like the chorus" he's lying "even if the verses get a bit on my nerves." WHY DOES HE PRETEEEEEEND sorry i'm just stoked to hear that jimmy nail song on SOTD
Pangea 03.21.23	when i first heard the verses i was mentally ready to give a sub 2.5 rating but then the chorus got me and the song grew on me in my 2-3 listen
fogza 03.21.23	the first time i saw the opening of this video i was like who is this joker with his garbage talking but then jimmy messed up hair and threw my comic book collection out the window
JohnnyoftheWell 03.21.23	1. van der Want Letcher - Special Agents: Frightened Rabbit - a film by Guy Ritchie okay yes this feels longer than it should 3.3 2. 2pac - Troublesome '96: all intrigue limited betrayal definite beat audible bars drifter has done it watch that kid this song's outro is kinda running on fumes 3.4 3. Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour: never got to this in my short-lived Megadeth phase, intro is tight but damn, that verse riff is hella boring and Dave M kinda drags his heels over this. was ready to laugh at y'all philistines not getting this, but it's disappointing and not great a l a s next 3.0
Pangea 03.21.23	host it ega!
JohnnyoftheWell 03.21.23	4. Jimmy Nail - Ain't No Doubt: I Need Karaoke Immediately 4.1 5. Pulp - Babies: I spent a long time actively ignoring Pulp but also feel I've read these lyrics before? Song is acceptable forgettable kitchen sink 3.3 6. Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - Revenge feat. Wayne Coyne: this is actually one of the better later career Wayne songs I've heard in a hot minute, damn. Good cute fluffy sadoldman song 3.6 7. GOD - My Pal: this is basically a potato recording of some chump yelling over half the Friends theme being played on infinite repeat no thank you 2.0
fogza 03.21.23	i am thrilled with this late surge by pan and jotw, and had an excited chill run through me imagining johnny singing ain't no doubt with a sput team providing backing vocals on the chorus
fogza 03.22.23	22. Fever Ray: Even It Out - Not really sure about the intrigue / betrayal angle here. Anyway, this is a song from my fave album of the year so far. It is the weakest song on the album apart from the closer which doesn't really operate as a song anyway. It's still pretty good. 3.6
dedex 03.22.23	22. Even It Out - don't vibe much with Kristin in album doses but as a lil snippet this is coo. 3.1
MiloRuggles 03.22.23	17. Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat If D'Angelo is cheating, this is hacking. What do you want from me. 5 18. Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang Right, fuck, alright, the dominoes keep fallin. 5 19. Milo recommends something cool after two stone cold classics and gets dunked on. aight [unrated] 20. Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night For the love of god I'm looking to find music not rediscover radio darlings. Anyway, we're on theme and we're crushing it, sure, another 5
fogza 03.22.23	"don't vibe much with Kristin in album doses but as a lil snippet this is co" hey dedex, are you rating Kristin Hersh or Fever Ray? 🤔
fogza 03.22.23	Milo, I think you skipped the Blue Oyster Cult 🤔
fogza 03.23.23	Come on people, second rec me. We have six whole days to fill up get with the program
Pheromone 03.23.23	25 - 5/5 my rec is aidan moffat & bill wells - glasgow jubilee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66-79BFioh8
dedex 03.23.23	23. Spain - fucking slaps. 3.9
dedex 03.23.23	Tyler, the Creator - Come On, Let's Go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zxnoT3XBu0 (album: Nigo - I Know Nigo) Tyler is betrayed by his girlfriend because she said she would be ready but she really isn't
fogza 03.23.23	tenous but i will allow because i am DESPERATE
JohnnyoftheWell 03.23.23	Mr. Brightside it is betrayal and intrigue
dedex 03.23.23	bro listen to it and tell me you don't feel the TREASON "you said you needed 5, that was more than 12 ago" 🤬🤬🤬
fogza 03.23.23	It's not the 27th yet but you can be sure i will voice my displeasure if it's not up to snuff
PumpBoffBag 03.23.23	Late on this but second rec: Moody Good - Grumbles N Sparkles Slightly tenuous but the intrigue is defo there https://youtu.be/rDvgKDfwxQ8
dedex 03.23.23	sigh 28. Mr. Brightside - 5.0
PitchforkArms 03.23.23	fogza, I have seen your lighthouse beacon and I came running....... Jeru The Damaja - Me Or The Papes https://open.spotify.com/track/1h20yRsf5WeuHbohrlfcCt?si=f457c62b87c4432e
fogza 03.23.23	legend
fogza 03.24.23	24. Faced Out: Jimmy the Anthill Prince - Unsettling but in a pretty good way. Ants are fucking devious 3.5
fogza 03.24.23	25. The Wrens: Hopeless - hmmmmm is this by now a legendary song by sput standards, or just in my head? I can't vote against the Wrens though. 5
dedex 03.24.23	24. Jimmy the Anthill Prince - oh yeah skronk + saxo = happy me woooo! 3.8
SlothcoreSam 03.24.23	Dede and foggy, you need to check the whole album by Faced Out, it's great throughout, the band has a lot of potential.
fogza 03.25.23	Added it to my listening log, that increases the chances of me listening to it by about 7% god my memory is so bad now
fogza 03.26.23	26. Aidan Moffat & Bill Wells: Glasgow Jubilee - I don't really vibe with Aidan's work post Hug & Pint. 3
fogza 03.27.23	27. Nigo and Tyler, the Creator: Come On, Let's go - Short and sweet and funny. Nice trappy bloom rising to the surface like a jellyfish 3.7
dedex 03.27.23	🤗
dedex 03.27.23	25. Hopeless - so I never listened to The Wrens. I should've listened to them when I was 17, right? This is really fucking great. 4.2 26. Glasgow Jubilee - hey it's the Arab Strap dude! can't really understand but he always talking about sex?? This was vibrant but kinda lacking a conclusion or apex or climax or something. 3.1
Pheromone 03.27.23	in his defence dede, there were plenty of climaxes in that song
dedex 03.27.23	hihi
Pangea 03.27.23	7. My Pal - oh wait this does kinda remind me of the friends theme lol. 3.2 8. Casablanca Moon - ah it's so cute. 4.0 9. Private Eye - bass and sax are a vibe, but the spoken word does make me feel very uncomfortable, but it is good!. 3.5 10. John Finn's Wife - love this song/album. the strings are super nice and i love how dynamic the track is. great stuff, nick cave is the best. 4.3 11. Planting Seeds - gorgeous stuff mhmmm. 4.5
MiloRuggles 03.28.23	As always I am behind on ratings but I needneedneed to drop in and formally thank Mort. for providing the new soundtrack to my life in Ain't No Doubt. "She's lying" has become meme of the hour between me and my lady
fogza 03.28.23	28. The Killers: Mr. Brightside - I always admired the "chest now, he takes off her dress now" pre-chorus, when you see live footage it's clearly designed for a crowd to sing along to. But yeah, I never liked this track, or indeed most of the Killer's catalogue. 2
dedex 03.28.23	boooooo
fogza 03.28.23	Sorry dedex ily
dedex 03.28.23	ily too fog 💖
Pangea 03.28.23	12. Shit, Damn, Motherfucker - chillest song about infidelity i have heard. 3.2 13. I Wish You Were a Girl - i find this kinda boring. 2.8
fogza 03.28.23	shit damn i need another rec people we are running out of time running up that hill with 1 problem
dedex 03.29.23	29. Grumbles N Sparkles - grimy shit. feels refreshing to hear some good dubstep!! 3.5
fogza 03.29.23	29. Moody Good: Grumbles N Sparkles - Not normally my bag but has atmosphere, and feels very on theme. 3.4
fogza 03.29.23	I HAVE TWO PROBLEMS: NO REC FOR DAY 31 NO PERSON TO TAKE OVER
MiloRuggles 03.29.23	20. (wehoops) Blue Oyster Cult - Then Came the Last Days of May I feel there's a bit of a clash here where the lyrics are fun and intriguing butthe song itself is in need of a good hamming up to meet the words halfway. Still, when I ignore this I get transported to a time when people presumably got drunk in barns and rocked out to this outlaw shit, let's go 3.3 22. Fever Ray - Even It Out New music?! Video is a perfect 10. Song is pretty sweet, but nothing here makes me want to dig much deeper 3 23. Kristin Hersh - Spain Really strong unique voice/sound, was genuinely thrown when the DROP hit 3.6 24. Faced Out - Jimmy the Anthill Prince More new music?! Vaguely windmillesque but I paid no heed to whether navels were subject to any gazing and it felt direct and fun 3.5 25. The Wrens - Hopeless If this was my friends' band I would be stoked for them 3
MiloRuggles 03.29.23	second rec: El-P - Habeas Corpses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmAieME55qE
Pangea 03.29.23	ega had a good theme suggestion i saw!
fogza 03.29.23	but is he dedicated enough to grip the theme by the hand? and see it through until the climax?
Pangea 03.29.23	i will just be all arab straps songs
Pangea 03.29.23	14. Lovenest - guitar good, vocals sound tired. 3.2 15. Betrayed in the Octagon - norma would never (song is a vibe). 3.7 16. Time Bomb - song is even more of a vibe. this is seriously so good, love the strings and other instruments vibe. Such a nice deep voice too. 4.5 17. Famous Blue Raincoat - i mean yeah this is basically the best song of all time. 5.0
Egarran 03.29.23	Unfortunately I don't even think there are 30 songs about that subject.
Pangea 03.29.23	honestly i think there a lot of masturbation songs! but seriously, would you be up to hosting? you can pick other themes!
Egarran 03.29.23	No thanks, sorry! Buzzfeed has an ancient list fromm 2011: https://www.buzzfeed.com/gavon/40-masturbation-songs
fogza 03.29.23	I was gonna go with 29 if you picked this theme
Pangea 03.29.23	another clockwork day from arab strap!
Trifolium 03.29.23	Pan Pan Pan do check out that whole LP it ruuuuuules!!!

fogza 03.29.23	i do not know what drain gang is it plumbercore
Pheromone 03.30.23	fogza u piece of dirt ignoring me
Trifolium 03.30.23	Dirt gives life to plants 🥰🍃🍃🍃🍃
Pheromone 03.30.23	lol ok if you believe that theory
fogza 03.30.23	do i get to make the pick of who goes next? ok then i knight you phero
fogza 03.30.23	i am sorry i did not believe in myself and was waiting for pan's approval
Pheromone 03.30.23	pan will dig it pan do u dig it
Trifolium 03.30.23	foggy you should never doubt yourself.
Pheromone 03.30.23	or should you?...
fogza 03.30.23	30. Jeru The Damaja: Me Or The Papes - I wanted to like this because pitchfork is my hero, but i'm finding it hard to connect with hip hop at the mo, and this is really 90's straight up beat, keys and flow. 3.1
fogza 03.30.23	or should i....? 🤔
dedex 03.30.23	30. Me Or The Papes - classic 90s boom bap. 4.3 yeah Pitchy that's a classic ass song, absolute belter when I saw them last summer
dedex 03.30.23	never doubt yourself foggy!!!
Pangea 03.30.23	i believe in your sotd insight foggy but i would say that phero can take april and we can reserve may for ryus if he would like
Egarran 03.30.23	the fogster is basically a channel for my thoughts
PitchforkArms 03.30.23	hellllllll yeah, ded fog, it's cool, you'll be punished in the afterlife, whatever....
fogza 03.30.23	wait no consequences now in the short term? sign me up, and let me check my investments in petroleum and de-forestation
fogza 03.31.23	31. El-P: Habeas Corpses - On the fence, it's a bit much and also a bit well-written. The non verse parts slap so 3.6
Pheromone 03.31.23	when do i post this here new sotd its my first time 😳
fogza 03.31.23	I am done and have done my best; now it is in others' hands. Go forth, conquer new worlds, be brave, eat strange flavours of ice cream like Cornish cheese and basil maple, rec songs, comment on them, create themes, pick your filler album, it's all there for you. It is not too late to reconcile with your aunt or buy a skateboard. Bring it in people SOTD SOTD huurrrrr skrit SOTD
fogza 03.31.23	In more practical terms I think it's ok if you do it now or tomorrow
fogza 03.31.23	Although you might get more recs if you do it now because Saturday is a wasteland
dedex 03.31.23	31. Habeas Corpses - I FOUND LOVE ON A PRISON SHIP. 3.7
Pheromone 03.31.23	Saturday IS a wasteland what is up with everyone on sput doing things on the weekend :/// will upload at some point today when im not scared if my boss is watching me
fogza 03.31.23	Remember SOTD is not worth a career limiting move
Pheromone 03.31.23	more like a career is not worth a SOTD limiting move
Trifolium 03.31.23	!!~!
Pangea 03.31.23	sotd is my career and unfortunately this month's performance is going to give me harsh evaluation
Pheromone 03.31.23	guys i dont want to spoil the incoming round but i fear it might be a theme we have tackled in the past how do i find out this information
Pangea 03.31.23	well you ask or track back (i think i remember most themes we've had), but a repeat is alright too!
fogza 03.31.23	The spread sheet also usually has the theme written in, although it is tedious to go through all the sheets.
Pheromone 03.31.23	has anyone done a sexy theme a sexy sexy theme
JohnnyoftheWell 03.31.23	i really need you tonight
Pangea 03.31.23	don't believe so
Pangea 04.03.23	18. Bang Bang - this is nice and pretty. 3.5 19. Reporting Of A Failed Campaign - cool stuff. 3.8 20. Then Came the Last Days of May - very chill, love the guitar work. 4.0 21. Where Did You Sleep Last Night - i like it, but genuinely not really 5 level for me. good vocal performance though. 3.8 22. Even It Out - cool percussion, but doesn't really grip me otherwise. 2.8 23. Spain - wasn't really sure about the change up at first, but has proved its effectiveness now. good stuff. 4.0 24. Jimmy the Anthill Prince - woah this is a banger. 4.3 25. IT'S JUST WOOOON'T BE MEEE EVVEERR AGAAAAIIIIINN
Pangea 04.03.23	dede listen to the Meadowlands!!!!!
dedex 04.03.23	mmmmh will do but not soon im afraid i got too much on my plate
MiloRuggles 04.03.23	26. Bill Wells and Aidan Moffat - Glasgow Jubilee Good stuff, wish the music was a little more responsive to the lyrics. This fulla really makes sex sound like an awful pasttime at large 3.8 27. Tyler the Creator / Nigo - Come On, Let's Go All bark and no bite but also goddamn Tyler's charisma is what it is and this boi is succinct 3.5 28. The Killers - Mr. Brightside 2009 - "New Album ‘Imploding The Mirage’ Out Now" for some reason in my ramshackle fuckshow of a memory this song is older than that. My heart and my best intentions tell me that's true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not. Either way, enough time has elapsed and I have been to many social gatherings where The Killers /haven't/ played, and now that I can barely smell the fallout (which once sickened me) we're gonna settle our differences on an amicable 4 29. Moody Good - Grumbles N Sparkles Woah this is the first Oirish MC I've heard that actually sounds hard (feel free to school me in my ignorance). Seedy brostepping works better than expected, but JC on a fucking motorbike this shit hobbles itself so thoroughly between verses that I'm surprised it even limps to a close 2.5 30. Jeru the Damaja - Me or the Papes That piano sample is juggled so precisely oooohh baybee 3.6 31. El-P Habeas Corpses 555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555
Pangea 04.03.23	26. Glasgow Jubilee - rulesss 4.5 27. Come On, Let's Go - no idea why this is so short. feels unfinished like this. 2.5 28. Mr Brightside - fucking classic. dede and johnny do karaoke with me. 5.0 29. Grumbles n Sparkles - dark and ominous, cool stuff. 4.0 30. Me Or The Papes - uhh kinda bores me. 2.7 31. Habeas Corpses - it's good i think but i cannot really get into it right now. 3.0
Pangea 04.03.23	mmmmh will do but not soon im afraid i got too much on my plate good enough!
