We'll end nibbish week with one of my favorite songs ever, played well on a show that was a great platform for a lot of music that might not have gotten national exposure, otherwise.
Thanks for viewing, commenting, and even tossing a rating or two.

Loading... Shoegazey alt rock for your warm Saturday listening pleasure.

It's a little forced in the second verse (you can just say you don't like the party and would rather be hanging out with people you enjoy, no need to put on the pretense of discussing Super Important Stuff), but the vibe is nice, her voice is solid, and it sorta kinda brings trip-hop back into the Top 40 for a couple weeks.

"Past Life" would probably be annoying enough, what with its ham-fisted spoken word and merely "okay" chorus, but then there are those super pitch shifted vocals and the absolute stinker "It was my lover" line (at least that one's good for a laugh). The song is terrible.
It got me thinking - there are plenty of albums that I enjoy that have a song or two that I dislike, but not many albums that I truly love that have a one star song. I can't think of any others off the top of my head.
So, what say you? Do you have an album that you absolutely adore, but with a song that you absolutely loathe?
I found this a couple of months ago and was entranced by it. I like Tim Hecker quite a bit, and giving him guitar feedback to twist and contort is a lot of fun to listen to. I've come back to this video many times over the past few months.
I haven't seen the documentary that this is apparently a part of. I should probably remedy that at some point.

Luckily, Anamanaguchi has me covered.
"Another Winter" is the standout, and is one of my favored video game music tracks, but the title cut is fun, too.

This particular song is one that I can go a long time without hearing, but when I want to hear it, I want to hear it seven times in a row. I listened to it yesterday - the rest of my week is doomed.

(you've probably guessed by now that Freealonzo's stretch of FMDs is done for now. Thanks again, Free!)
DK is unsurprised.
I heard this song the first time while waiting for TV on the Radio to come onstage (great show), and it got its hooks in me instantly. There were lots of warm summer days soundtracked by this song, as well as the rest of Currents.
I haven't solidified a lot of my list, but this one has been the only realistic choice for "Song of the Year" for me.
Weird that the next song on the album is the worst song created by an artist that I like all year.
