#220 - The Promise Ring - Red & Blue Jeans
as far as i’m aware i’ve gone 145 tracks without posting any classic 90s emo yet. the remaining 220 will definitely resolve this.
#221 - Mos Def - Mathematics
Think The Ecstatic actually turning out to be half-decent, a decade after the only Mos Def solo record i could stomach is one of the most surprising things of recent years. Though to say i’m merely stomaching tracks like this is probably doing Black On Both Sides a huge disservice
#222 - Onyx - Throw Ya Gunz
WOOOOOOOOOORD UP
RAISE IT UP
#223 - Eels - Cancer For The Cure
Like to thing the black rider esque percussion of this led to tom waits becoming a fan, and subsequent howls on going fetal years later.
#224 - Tag Team - Whoomp! (There It Is)
This one goes out to Barack Obama & the cast of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
#245 - U-God - Turbulence
Almost certainly the worst Wu-Tang affiliate but capable of good moments. Still don’t think I’ve made it through his whole debut album, this is track 2.
#248 - Heatmiser - Blackout
Find it really bizarre how little you see Heatmiser mentioned considering it’s Elliott Smith’s old band. Can’t pretend i’m their biggest fan, nor that I know a ton about them, but songs like this make a case for them deserving more attention.
#250 - Free Kitten - Proper Band
formed a band?
#251 - …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead - Mistakes & Regrets
Sometimes writing a few hundred words and 10.0 score does the job. There are other times when writing lyrics in capitals does a better job.
If I could make a list
Of my mistakes and regrets
I’d put your name on top
And every line after it
IF I COULD MAKE A LIST
OF MY MISTAKES AND REGRETS
I’D PUT YOUR NAME ON TOP
AND EVERY LINE AFTER IT
