Weekend - All The Way
Comments His
vocals in this remind me
vaguely of Nick Hexum.
The production in this
is tight and very
modern. The chorus
becomes catchy in a pop/electronica
way. Fun way to start
off.

Song Embrace
- Ashes
Comments LOL
loving the hat! Good
addition. Embrace were
not a major factor in
2011 as they were in
2009 and 2010 certainly.
When they first entered
concerts, what I noticed
first was the singer's
voice. It's strong and
solid. This one has a
nice hook in the chorus,
very shower-ready! LOL
Grungy drumming at the
end. Sounds like Bush.
The chorus is wicked
spirited, I like that
they are back! Seems
fitting

Comments STILL
a funny ass band name.
This band has proven
their longevity as a
solid and reliably
catchy band. This one
has huge drumming and
great drive. The vocals
are scratchy but work
well. This one really
pumps up the energy
level.

- Alma Matters
Comments LOL
well thanks for this,
this was a nice
surprise! LOL he calls
it "matters", its
actually mator, but I
get how he changed it to
fit, its creative. I
really like the verses,
they really float.
Song's got a message. It
was easy to hear what
he's saying, and this
has great lyrics. This
was really nice of you
doing this, I really
enjoyed listening to
this song. The URI job
will work wonders in my
life in so many ways,
and all of those will
happen over time once I
get there and get
started!

- You're Gonna Go Far
Kid
Comments He
sounds sticky in this
LOL, chewing bubble. To
a casual listener, his
vocals COULD be a bit
waily but if you look at
the song in a funny way
it works fine. This one
is pretty catchy, but in
a punk-rock way in that
the SOUND is more catchy
than one vocal line.

- In My Place
Comments Whenever
I hear this intro come
in, I smile, because I
know what's a
bummin'.....that riff!
The lyrics in this are
exceptional and anyone
can take them to heart
and call them their own.
That's a universal song.
Their guitar work is
underlooked in this song
because his voice is so
damn good and direct.
This was them in their
hay-day.

Jr. - Feel the Pain
Comments LOL
this song is SO SIMPLE
but SO CLASSIC! The main
chorus line is one
sentence but its
memorable as heck. The
undercurrent guitar is
kind of scary when you
listen to it, sounds
like its wicked turned
down. His vocals DON'T
get louder with LOUDER
MUSIC! LOL! I like the
snare, its crispy lol.
The thrashy parts are
downright garage.

Nelson - We Can Change
The World
Comments I
immediately like this
one better than their
last one. It's a little
more controlled, more
melodies. The chorus, in
particular, is very
catchy. He kind of tries
to put the world on his
back in this, but you
have to admire that.
Great song.

Buckley - So Real
Comments Those
wails that he does
really makes the hair on
the back of the neck
stand up. Its like
nothing you've ever
heard someone do with
their voice before. His
half-whispering vocals
in verses is also
ghostly. He's a genius.
Both lyrically and
vocally. The guitar
reminded me of Slint
lol! The "so real" parts
are SO MEMORABLE! What's
funny is this song is
almost grungy or
post-hardcore in its
music. Vocally its Jeff
Buckley all the way.

Comments You
be nice to her LOL and
her new album. Holy
smokes the production in
this kicks bum! The man
that comes in is
actually pretty good,
albeit a little bit
scratchy and gruff lol.
Hey voice rocks on the
chorus. The chorus is
immensely catchy. um the
BRIDGE = goth. The
vocals on "out of my
mind" grow hair on my
chest. She kind of takes
the role of those
damsels who write all of
this kind of music, but
she's just way damn
better.

Coast - Boyfriend
Comments I
like this band name.
This one starts off
rather damp on the
guitar, and it does have
that lo-fi downed-ness
to the guitar. I love
her vocals and the
effect on them. OMG this
riff and this song
remind me of Guided By
Voices' song "Mix Up The
Satellites". Her voice
rules.

liked this one- very
solid.

Song The
Gathering - All You Are
Comments Holy
shit where'd they get
this guitar! This one is
in ways much darker than
her last one tonight.
This one seems more raw.
The guitar is quite
thick, but never goes
wild. The percussion
keeps a good beat late.
This song gets really
epic. Fans of this genre
will love this song,
especially the last
half.

- Kristy Are You Doing
Okay?
Comments They
have a way of creating a
totally non-sensical
hook and here is another
one in this chorus. His
vocals are loud and
waily but he somehow
squeezes out a melody.
The drums are fucking
loud. The acoustic
guitar in this is a
waste LMAO. Shoud've
just been electric. Nice

Comments The
prechorus in this is
wicked catchy. The best
part, too. The lyrics

teenager-ish, as is the
production which is
firmly in modern

fun song for the

your plan so far.

Comments This
one has been featured
quite a bit later in
concerts this month. As
January concerts come to
a close, it is pretty
clear what your plan was
and what mine was. You
had the more collective
plan and it was focused.
Even the Greenday
tribute fit in. February
will be a new month and
a new set of concerts.
This band among others
defined your plan.
