I would have done it haha

 

You can go ahead and post responses whenever! Really the only time based part of it seems to be by the end of the week, and giving your recs to your partner early on so they have ample time.

I also just really wanna know what you thought of Seahaven. :)

 

There's always next time!

 

I've been paired with @Matthewconte this week, he'll be listening too Survival Pop by Worriers and I'll be checking out Too Far To Care by Old 97s.

 

Me as well, so far i've listened to 3/4 of them.

 

I should have my thoughts on the albums @mescalineeyes picked for me up later tonight

very eclectic pair of records I have here

 

You’re welcome haha

 

So far soooooo good

 

I'm paired with @manoverboard365 and I'll be listening to
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by the Arctic Monkeys and the Camp Cope album. They'll be listening to Teenage Retirement by Chumped and Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables by the Dead Kennedys

 

Whoa, weird. I just rec'd Teenage Retirement. GET OUT OF MY HEAD.

 

This is fun

 

Chumped is just the best man, what can I say :)

 

@Colin Your Enthusiasm how did you feel about your first week pick?

 

This really is great. The picks have had me truly surprised. Fuckin chorus.fm, man.

 

That's awesome your enjoying it!

 

Gonna do a little write up on it tonight. Sorry haven't taken the time to do it yet but I will. Damn work has been keeping me busy today.

 

I too have taken on a second partner this round in @sean_rugy . On his behalf I will be listening to:

Ceres - I Don't Want To Be Anywhere But Here

And

Chumped - Teenage Retirement


Where he will on my behalf be listening to:

Blink-182 - California

And

A Perfect Circle- Thirteenth Step

 

I should have things to say this evening @Erwin89

 

Haha no worries. I'm waiting to read it, but I have a fun little factoid about it after you post your thoughts.

 

I wondered how long until you rec’d California

 

Hey, here's to you, Caaalifooorniiiiaaaaa

 

Tbh I won't have a ton of thoughts just because the album is sooo short and I don't know it's just hard to talk about this one. But I've played it 4-5 times so I've enjoyed it enough.

 

Hahah yeah but recommending APC has to surprise some

 

I was given Jessie Ware - Tough Love and Fjørt - Kontakt by @mescalineeyes


Jessie Ware - Tough Love : This is not really my thing but I tried to go into this album as objectively as possible and ultimately I walked away with respect for Jessie Ware as an artist and moreover as a songwriter. The lyrics are far from being profound but they serve their purpose well here. I usually find music like this to be laughably bad but there is a maturity and tastefulness to the way these songs are executed. The album flows very nicely and there are plenty of big hooks throughout. If you like pop music that isn't devoid of meaning: check this out.



Fjørt - Kontakt : Fjørt is a German post-hardcore band. Now I should preface my thoughts by saying that I don't know German and am far too lazy to look up any translations of the lyrics so I just assume that what he's talking about matters, and I'm sure it does. As far as the music itself is concerned: it's impressive. This isn't really my thing either but I love the guitar and drums on pretty much every song here. Those two things are what stand out the most to me. Kontakt has many different soundscapes to offer but the vocals can be a little one note, and that was the biggest drawback of the album for me, but I attribute most of that disconnect to the language barrier. I thought this was a cool album. Great drummer

 

Not California Deluxe?! ;)
