10 Songs: Sunday, November 15th, 2015
1 – Santa Claus Is Comin To Town (Featuring Frank Sinatra) – Kylie Minogue – Always somewhat creepy thematically, still it has always gotten by on its sheer joy, and this big bang orchestration is fun, but add a ghost on a saint? Yuck – D+
2 – One Of Must Know (Sooner Or Later) Master Take Piano And Drums – Bob Dylan – This now stands as a testament to session musician Paul Griffin, whose performance is so powerful when heard alone it is a revelation how much force and also how delicate and sturdy it is… A
3 – Deepsace – Hudson Mohawke and Miguel – The beats here echo after you’ve heard them and Miguel is a vocal tour de force – A
4 – Besos – Roberto Topia – This is so strong it sounds like Merengue – A
5 – 36 Oz – Skeme, Chris Brown – Skeme gets the ultimate guest appearance for the one song on the album that makes it – B
6 – On The Regular – Shamir – Electronic thump disco with a great star in waiting, so you know – A-
7 – Cradle To The Grave – Squeeze – The bridge is so bad it puts me right off – C+
8 – To All The Girls I Loved Before – il Divo – Platonically, I assume – C
9 – Bone – King Gizzard And Lizard Wizard – This is so catchy I thought it was The Pains Of Being Pure AT Heart for a moment – B+
10 – Hell – The Pains Of Being Pure AT Heart – I mean this song, I know but even so, they have a melodic sound that is similar, the bridge loses me but otherwise a good song – B+
