Next Post is a Guest Blog From Cam'ron re: Getting Kicked Out of Dipset
But for now, watch me get my Fluxblog on!
Bonde Do Role: "Geremia"
Things about this song: There are fun martial drums. There is a funner kazoo. There is a fun rapping verse that may or may not be from Luigi from the video games. But, the most fun thing about this song is the girl who raps the first and third verse. Her voice is of someone who spent a whole day screaming her lungs out at a soccer game. It's weary, worn and broken. But it's also fantastic, and is absolutely perfect for a song that sounds like a six-hour party condensed into less than three minutes. This would be the first Pipettes single after they emerged from three years in the Amazon.
Feist: "Limit To Your Love"
Truth about The Reminder: It's inconsistent candlelight dinner music. "The hipster answer to Norah Jones" means that it still sounds like Norah Jones, and the album, at its worst, still sounds like Norah Jones. WIth that being said, it's third fourth is as knockout at this music gets. "Limit To Your Love" is when one of Feist's piano ballads finally recedes from outside the shadow of her brilliant pop ("1 2 3 4", "Past In Present") because she steps out of her quirkiness and sings like someone who is demanding your attention. So when she launches into the line "It should be written on your face/ I'm piecing it together/ There's something out of place" she draws out the "place" like she's screaming from the top of a mountain, and not only should it whip this guy to attention like a smack across the face, but it'll uncompromisingly jar you out of the trance you might've unwittingly fallen under during the seven songs prior.
The Besnard Lakes: "And You Lied To Me"
I'm going to make no bones about what is truly great about this song. After nearly five-minutes of find yourself in the stars prog meandering, the guitarists in this band rip into a searing two-minute long back-and-forth solo that sounds like getting slowly sliced in half by a white-hot saw.
