1 – Made Up Mind – Tedeshi Trucks Band – I’ve never been covinced when it comes to this band, but when I saw Susan with the Allman’s last year (rememebr: Greg was out sick), they were better than the penultimate gig I caught. But this? Still not convinced – C+
2 – The Thrill Is Gone – BB Kings – His “What Makes You beatiful” – A
3 – Kiss You – One direction – They pulled away with every mainstream boy band right here, off their sophomore album, a crisp clean piece of pop heaven – A
4 – Even Better Than The Real Thing – U2 – What makes this great? It’s unfeigned feigned awesome – A+
5 – Miss Armor – Azealia Banks – She called it her fave song on Monday – A
6 – Backsell – Desaparecidos – This is to punk what Mumford And Sons are to folk – C+
7 – We All Go Back To Where We Belong – R.E.M. – shoulda reformed and played this for Letterman (more or less), man I love those horns. Could it sound more like Bacharah-David? – A
8 – Big Poppa – Notoriou B.I.G. – This is so Junior Mafia, it even has the why dont your friends get together with my friends riff – A
9 – Cups (“When I’m Gone”) – The Barden Bellas – Ugh – C-
10 – Prisoner – Jordan Bratton – He played Simba in “The Lion King” and here, with help from Chance The Rapper, he throws down a top r&b track. A soulful wonder – A
