gep more like yep am i right

this week we’re listening to a song that lulls you into a false sense of security before loading you into a shopping trolley and pushing you down a hill. it’s rad, it’s bad, it’s oh so sad how you haven’t listened to it what are you waiting for should we call the pope??? meet l’objectif, they’ve got a cool song it’s called walking home (from the city) check it out if you’re rad enough.

i unfortuantely have tricked you all, sorry about that. you fell for my trap card yak yak yak. y’see, this song isn’t one song, it’s two! you have two tracks in here, one, an even tempo’d very mleodic and somewhat soulful yet sorrowful ditty about this that the other. and the rest is a rip snorting guitar solo high energy time of your life. those two together make something that is way beyond the sum of it’s parts. let’s take each of them in turn. the first half is such a cool number. the frentic high hat beat and constantly repeating main guitar riff have this hypnotic quality that turn the entire thing into a beautiful world for the vocals. and the vocals deliver, with incredibly catchy and powerful choruses that have you singing along before the first listen is out. then, about a minute and change away from the end, justtttttt as you’re starting to reach your limit of the track as it plays it’s welcome out, it kicks it up a gear! now i want to talk about the stitching in this for a second. you see, that technique of being able to go from one piece of music into another smoothly and without the listener necessarily feeling it is a tricky tricking thing to do. i like how in this one they just yell and off they go. and go they do, with a solo that’s as fun to listen to as it must be to play it’s rip snorting rude and a lot of fun. godbless.

i only really wish that this song did a bit more to bring back some of what was laid up in the first half. they don’t really do much in the way of aligning those other than to reference the main riff they play throughout. it’s a fun moment, and i enjoy it a lot, but it also feels like a missed opportunity to land a cool closer with some pinache.

you know guitar centre in the states lets you play stairway now

this is a tricky one to recommend because the two parts are so distinct it could go either way. but at the same time, all i could think of when i was listening to this was man it sounds like alex g (complimentary). alex g is a bit of a favourite artists favourite artist kinda guy, had some big releases a few years ago and tours off the back of that. also did the camp miasma soundtrack if anyones seen that, cool movie! when i went to see it the voice of paddington was there and i whispered really loudly to my friend ‘there’s paddington’ and he glowered at me. what are ye gonna do. anywho, alex g is a lot of this twiddly guitar soulful nonsense, this is maybe a bit more catchy and poppy. anywho, both rule, enjoy.

this band have a lot of really good songs. like i mean a lot. i sort of don’t really know why they are where they are other than i think maybe someones not done their job right because i think they have biggggg potential. anyway, that’s why i’m here. now go listen why don’tcha.

Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.
