10 Songs: Wednesday, July 9th, 2014
I’m throwing up in my mouth
1. Somewhere In My Car – Keith Urban – Thumps a little hard for country rock and pops a little too much for country or rock, this is the sound of country music running down the drain and as spectacularly bad a song as “American Kids” if not worse – D+
2. Terrified – The Rural Alberta Advantage – The usually solemn as a church in, well, in rural Alberta, hear they lively up themselves with a sledgy drummer – B
3. Kiss Me Kiss Me – 5 Seconds Of Summer – Curly haired boyos offer a come on to their target demo: middle aged members of NAMBLA – B-
4. Chandelier – Sia – As a rule of thumb a little of Sia goes a long long way… so consider this a long long way – B
5. Halls Of Valhalla – Judas Priest – Crazy real heavy metal riffs plus noodles and Viking chic – B
6. Eguetmar – Noura Mint Seymali – The guitar sounds bluesy! – B+
7. Diamond – Common, Big Sean – Welcome to 2011 – C+
8. Smokestack Lighting – Tomas Doncker Band – Puts the howl into the wolf – A
9. No “W” – Ministry – Torpedoes worth of drums stampede down this track – B+
10. Palisades Park – Counting crows – The chorus is catchy, the break not so much – C+
