A Bunch of Fives (New Challenge Thread)

Or something! It doesn't have to be gators. It could be Austrians!

That's... worse.

Exactly. Surely you'd save me from a bunch of Freuds and Von Trapps.

I'd throw both volumes of "The Man Without Qualities" at them and then leg it.

Leaving me trapped with my id singing do re mi.

Just admit you always wanted to kill your father and sleep with your mother, and put whipped cream on everything.

I've always denied the literal existence of cigars—does that count?

I'd say you're relatively safe, but what do I know. Just remember the whipped cream. And throw in a "Küss die Hand" occasionally.

I wish I could find the clip (I can't even think of its name) but Falco was in some cheap-ass movie in the 80s where, as I recall, he was stopped by a cop and pleads with him, "I'm Falco! I'm Falco!" Now that's true Austria.

Oh, Jim Morrison syndrome.

For the rest of my days, the name Jim Morrison will evoke this:

Chaila - Denise Chaila.
Real cool attitude and delivery. Love the beat and the backing. I wish it did more musically once it got going, but this is cool. 7/10

Fixer Upper - Yard Act
Not going to rate this because I don't really get it. Backing instrumentation is really good and I think they are just mocking/parodying gentrifiers with the vocals, but the spoken delivery doesn't really work for me.

Laugh Laugh - The Beau Brummels
Your descriptions are always spot on and this is no exception. I dig this. The verse melody reminds me of another song of the time that I can't just figure out and it's bugging me. I like the sorta minor key verse and the bright major key chorus. Harmonica and backing vocals are a nice touch. 7.5/10

Stepping Razor - Peter Tosh
I know this from Sublime's bizarrely effective cover, but it's great to hear the original. Top notch stuff. 9/10.

Cod Liver Oil and the Orange Juice - Hamish Imlach
Can't follow the lyrics, but the melody and delivery are top notch. Not a genre I delve into much, I really like this. 8/10.

Sharon Jones - 100 Days, 100 Nights
Obviously a classic, not much to add here. 10/10

Black Joe Lewis - Livin in the Jungle
Pretty good, a little glossy for my preference on this kind of music but that may just be because it came right after the Sharon Jones. 7/10

Kat Wright - By My Side
This was ok, I liked the keys, but it didn't have a lot of energy. Might be better live 5/10

The Inciters - Me Myself and I
Kind of reminds me of The Jam. Seems like the tempo could be pushed maybe 5bpm to match that, but an interesting listen. I could check more of this out. 7/10

Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics - The Man Says
I liked this right away, maybe just because I'm a bassist, but I though the slinkiness and the guitar chop was very pleasant. Good production, this was probably my favorite besides the Sharon Jones. 9/10

Oh you're gonna hate it all.

I DMd WWK. I thought I did last week but didnt see such an outgoing message so I sent him one last night.
Maybe he'll show up and save the day.

[Silent Majority]

I'm pretty sure he's been about on facebook, so he's well I can confirm.

[matedog]

Cool, we'll give him a day and then I'll go. It'll give me more time to catch up.

[WestwayKid]

Sorry guys, I dropped the ball on this. All is well and I will get some tracks posted later today.
