Reveal Thread: Walrus Grab Bag 2 - The Walrus Strikes Back

In 2nd place, with 12 points:

Noga Erez – VIEWS

I couldn’t decide at first whether I absolutely hated this or if it was fantastic. I must confess though it’s got me hooked. I still a have a bit of a love/hate thing going on with the male part of the song, but I like that, it keeps me going back to listen again, a much better reaction than indifference.
On a different day it may have hit the top slot, and I have been checking out her other stuff more than any other artist on the list. The Eiten Reiter remix of Worth None is absolutely fantastic

A big thank-you to whoever submitted this.

Well, it’s an Israeli act, so conventional wisdom say this is from Yuv. he’s is on a righteous tear in this walrus!

That’s a fun song, too.

FKA Twigs – Water Me

Commentary -A bit of a stretch, but we need water in this haddock-y time. Fish do, too

This was a winner from the first play. As I mentioned earlier, I loaded all the tracks on to a playlist and I was listening for the first time having a stroll along the seafront where I live

And when this song came on it stopped me in my tracks- I sat down and listened to it 3 or 4 times in a row. Beautiful, haunting, melancholic a fantastic piece of work, I was vaguely aware of FKA Twigs before, but this just knocked me out.

There are a few songs where I can vividly remember where and when I first heard them, This is one

glad you liked it. I’ve been somewhat obsessed with two of Noga’s songs and tried to jam at least one of them in the walrus. I like the other song even better and was thinking about it for @seities category.

She is Israeli, but not very popular there. I think the majority of the views for this (it has over a million) came because Billie Eilish mentioned her as one of her favorites acts so her army showed up. Billie is a national treasure imo.

Thanks for the reveal. Congrats cassette.

Scream worthy single:

Fun live band version of VIEWS:

And I moved into a very precarious 2nd place.

Wow first place is clinched and there’s still a mad dash for second and third. No wonder Yuv was frustrated by my early lead, he submitted a full course of BANGERS

Too bad for him though, this is one of my more confident choices in the last round

So long as you rank me above Rivaldo we are all good

I would have submitted this for xx/xy cover if I hadn’t already posted it 3 or 4 times on this website.

In this company, finishing 3rd-worst would be an honor.

I’d get to tower over dead-last and loser-runner-up on the coveted nodium, with a satisfied smirk on my face

Kinda glad my spot is secured, cause yours was the one I was least confident in.
