The Devils, “Red Grave.” Razeitall. Fuckyeah. Burn!
Bridge City Sinners, “Witches Wrath.” Realfolk. Livingtradition. Beautiful.
Adia Victoria, “Clean.” Mysterious. Dangerous. Magnetic.

All your offerings are solid winners, like the 2004, 2007, 2013, and 2018 Red Sox!
There's no denying the Sox did win those years.

Your most interesting write up yet, Oliver!
Cheers - it's really just a selection of random thoughts rather than a review these days. If someone posted what I consider to be the worst thing ever committed to record* I'd still find it hard to be overly critical because it means something to them.

For some reason I mix up WWK and Kimmelweck.

Generally a high OBP guy, then a good contact guy, then a couple guys with power.

Matedog is next after WWK (although I certainly won't stop people from posting out of order if they're ready to go, gkb!)

Hello,

Geese - Rain Dance. It's nervy/nervous post-punk-ish.



DM3 - One Times, Two Times, Devastated. Okay, this isn't new but may be new to some: really good bubblegum glam.



The Bakesys - Get Your Moon Boots On. Odd ska - go, go, get your moon boots on, We're stompin' in space... with Neil Armstrong. I think I put one of their other tracks somewhere a while back.



Please forgive me being out of order and accept this bonus track as my gift.

All three of those were new groups to me (and I've never seen Scent of a Woman) so that's always a pleasure. The only downside is it stops me from playing 6 degrees of separation between The Clash and the posted artist (but I could always cheat and go to whosampled.com)

I was quite excited by your description of Geese because I do like a spiky post-punk song. I had to stop it half way through though because the guitar line was so reminiscent of something that I can't quite put my finger on. I want to say it's something from Happy Mondays first album (I'm not writing the title out) but that doesn't seem right. It will come to me at some point :) A couple of re-listens and I'm liking this a lot.

DM3 - I get a bit of a disconnect between the music (along with the YT picture) and the vocals - like it should be angrier or perhaps less pop. It was the sort of thing I wouldn't mind hearing on the radio before the radio here became either hate talk or country stations. Nothing that truly compels me to seek out more or pay real money. That's not necessarily a dismissal though because there are songs I truly love that I only ever heard on the radio.

The Bakesys - musically, I like it. Lyrically, it gets too close to novelty for me (which is another 'genre' I kind of like) and I have a hard time when the genres collide. Go figure. I never said it makes sense. If I don't take myself too seriously, this was a decent listen but I'd be nervous buying an album in case it went "a bit much."


Geese - definitely my favourite
DM3 - needs different singer
The Bakesys - bringback badsong radio *



* I *loved* bad song radio. That is not a diss.
