10 Songs: Friday, July 5th, 2014

The Invention Of Sex

1. Na Na – Trey Songz – Very catchy sex song by a guy I once saw open for Mariah Marey, he sucked but man, the women in the audience could care. This is better than usual, a tricked out beat and a cute metaphor – B

2. Kendrick Lamar’s Interlude – Ab Soul – Man, I don’t know where they got that horn but it is gorgeous and it makes the track – A

3. Runaway – Ed Sheeran – X might not be a masterpiece, and some of it is as bad as they claim, but some of it sure aint – B+

4. Static Wait – Viet Cong – Canadian duos lo fi approach to electronica, can’t wait to catch em at 4Lnots, I wonder if they can pull it out or put it to sleep on stage – B+

5. Work – Iggy Azalea – The other biggie off the album, waiting in the wings as we speak – B+

6. Tippy Toes – Robin Thicke – A rockabilly nightmare and catchier than hell – C

7. My Generation – Limp Bizkit – Hysterically inept track which put the nail in the coffin of Durst’s career – D+

8. Welcome To The Working Week – Elvis Costello – For the longest time I thought he was saying “perfectly” but Elvis was smarter than that as he considers the girl being rhythmically admired. An ode to a Page Three Girl to kick start his first album – A

9. Out Here – Mike Stud – White Americans are to rap, what middle aged French are to rock – C

10. World runners – Ab Soul – With Lupe Fiasco, this album may be big time – A
