I still haven’t downloaded this.

Same, I've been pretty busy without enough time to listen through the whole way yet. Maybe tomorrow.

I listened twice but wasn’t very focused. Maybe tomorrow.

Vernon I'm currently listening to the Pond's The Weather album. Man it's sooo good. I love Paint Me Silver.

Finally got around to start listening to this playlist. I'm only about halfway through it, but this might be my favorite playlist so far?!? We'll see how it finishes, but I'm pleasantly surprised so far.

that's my favorite song on the album too. one of their bigger hits nowadays. So good!

Glad you experienced it. The Weather is fucking fantastic.

Voted for Ozma, Pond, and CocoRosie since Metric and Death Cab were already high school favorites

voted Pond, Combat Baby, and Nemo

well shit.....4 tied for 2nd. lol

I'll leave it open until tomorrow and hope we get a tie breaker.

I still need to vote, so I'll make sure to listen to them all again tonight and get my votes in.

What happens when a song wins?

Outstanding (*****)

Good (****)
Gangstagrass "Long Hard Times to Come" -- Song reminds me a bunch of an old Cowboy Troy/Big & Rich collaboration. Surprisingly, I don't mind me some 'Hick Hop'.
Pop Evil "Work" -- Obviously I'm going to enjoy this one, since it's my pick, but there is the static in parts of the song that is kind of distracting and sounds off.
Nightwish "Nemo" -- I'm a big fan of female-fronted rock/metal groups and I love the combination of the vocals with the driving music. This song was decent, but it sounded like she was trying too hard to go into a falsetto for me, it was a touch piercing at times.

Ok (***)
Metric "Combat Baby" -- I'm not sure when this song came out, but it sounds like it should be on the soundtrack of a movie like '10 Things I Hate About You'
Death Cab for Cutie "Title and Registration" -- so that's what a song with 2 chords and only one vocal tone sounds like
Ozma "Maybe in an alternate dimension" -- like someone else said, give off a very Weezer-esque vibe. Decent, but not as good as the original.
Pond "Fire in the water" -- holy synthesizer! Decently catching song...kinda grows on you.

Meh (**)
Bonny Light Horseman "Deep in Love" -- oh, what, where am I? Oh, sorry, I fell asleep. I don't remember much at all about this song.
CocoRosie "By Your Side" -- not my cup of tea, but not terrible either
Sly and the Family Stone "You Can Make It If You Try" -- don't have anything creative or witty to say for this one, other than it's maybe a touch too repetitive?

Bleh (*)

Fuck No ( )
All the commercials from using the free version of Spotify.


Overall, this was one of the most consistently decent playlists I think we've had in a while, imo. While there weren't any songs I'd consider epic, there also weren't any terrible songs that I would refuse to listen to a second time. I voted for Gangstagrass, Pop Evil, and Nightwish.
