Congrats to all non nodiumers
Edit - I missed this line from the writeup on gooba – “It does get an extra two points because quite frankly, I’d much rather hear that again than the first two :(”

Not me, but big fan of that Horse Lords track.
(Missed cassette had claimed it already)

I won’t lie, the Horse Lords track got much better about halfway through.

When We Were Writers by the Indigo Girls
This is probably the unluckiest entry because it could have easily finished 3-4 places higher. Sadly it was just bland to me. Never enjoyed Indigo Girls. The lyrics didn’t do much to me. Has a nostalgic vibe which makes sense for the time it is released, but it was really forgettable. Sorry, it’s not you, it’s me.

Indigo Girls 2/2 in 10th place finishes.
Also, not mine.
Yeah there’s no excuse for music like that these days.
Men are the worst
Next grab bag I’ll just submit Indigo Girls for every category as an easy way to do better.

Bantou Mentale - Congo Animal
This is probably the song I listened to the most amount of times outside the top 2. It doesn’t sound like anything I’m familiar with and there are elements here that I felt I should like. Alas, no matter how many times I tried, it just didn’t come together to anything enjoyable for me. I appreciate going outside the box without torturing me, but at the end all I could think of is an African version of Ross Geller’s music. Sorry, it’s not you, it’s me (but also a little bit you).

Correct. They’re based in Paris now (originally Congolese) and put on a decent show. It is you, though.

I don’t mind it…but I bet they are more interesting to see live, based on what I’m hearing.

Faith Alone 2020 - Bad Religion
It might be unacceptable as a kid who grew up on Punk, but Bad Religion was never my jam. That being said, I did hear the original version and I generally like that album. Not sure what is the need for this piano version. Can’t imagine Punk songs improving in any capacity by going to a piano-heavy stripped down arrangement.
Decent lyrics, okay message, nothing out of the ordinary. Middle of the road for me, as the music was kinda dull. I’ll split it half way between you and me.

This offends me. The whole point of punk is completely missed here. WHY would they do this?
ugh, come on, BR, be better.

Yeah, the first 3m40s were painful on first listen, then it improved significantly…for all of 10-15secs. Woulda placed it above that 6ix9ine track though.

So far I have enjoyed the odd numbers (even that Gooba nonsense against my better judgment) and been bored shitless by the even numbers.

Tennis - I’ll Haunt You
This is another very genre-specific song. Good example of dream pop. The harmonies on point, her voice is soothing, it gives me some Beach Boys vibes which I generally enjoy, but also can’t escape the vision of this as a part of Justin Timberlake SNL skit.
Good song. Sounds like it’s a good band. Just not really my thing. Sorry, it’s definitely me.
