aa – Baauer – The album is surprisingly good, but the title track is a blippy bow out – C

New Misery – Cullen Omori – Echo vocals lead you to a down beat closing down of the album, I remember when the Smith Westerns were rocker reprobates… – C+

Find My Way – Grant-Lee Phillips – Not more of this stiff, by around now you’ll be sick and tired of this loser, “Lost but I keep on walking, sometimes that’s all a man can do…”? Yeah, being a rock star is filled with landfills of love – C

Paraguay – Iggy Pop – Gwan, sick along to it… even still, Iggy’s spoken word close out is very funny – C

Where I’m At – ILOVEMAKONNEN – What’s with the clickety clack stuff? – C

Girl At The End Of The World – James – I didn’t love the album, but this is a good sign out and a fine lyric, terrific harmonies just over there as well  – B+

Walk With Me – Joell Ortiz – Good rhyme: “Walk with me, see those people watchin  awkwardly…” They don’t write em like that every day – B+

Autumn In Paradise – Primal Scream – What is their deal? A bore  – C

Maybe – Redfoo – We need Redfoo singing a ballad like we need a hole in the head – D+

Cool – Soul Asylum – Party time! – D+
