Dream Lover – The Vaccines – The band behind the excellent “Post Break Up Sex” are back and the song is a thumping riff but without the prerequisite melodic buzz. It is like when your teen friend grows up and becomes a complete pain in the neck. This is a bluesy disappointment – C
I Don’t Like It, I Love It – Flo Rida – Hand it to Mr. Rida, at least he is willing to the most hated pop star over 21, Robin Thicke, Unfortunately, it is a bit of a bore and won’t do the job – C
Yoga – Janelle Monae – Always a pleasure to hear from Janelle, except on this ordinary little dance track, and the “I’m my own private dancer” Â isn’t as funny as it should. It sounds like Madonna and not the good Madonna – B-
Temporary Love – Elephante – Apparently, it is the week of the sophomore jinx… cookie cutter dance with a sweet vocal – C+
The Jean Genie – Scott Weiland – It is not quite that this is a terrible terrible cover, it is that it is an enormously pointless cover, it is kinda weird to play a song about Jean Genet like a hard rocker alpha male – C
Spring (Among The Living) – My Morning Jacket – This starts like a lovely pastoral track and then gets weird and bluesy while the lick remains constant… better than the last song – B
