Shufflefest Review Time!
Stolen from a thread I saw on somethingawful.
It's essentially one of your basic "List the first five songs that come up on shuffle" things but with the added catch that you have to review every song (out of 10, or however you feel). No cheating.
Should be interesting as songs you didn't know you had/don't really listen to might come up.
Here are mine:
1. Buzzcocks - Lipstick
Quite a fan of the Buzzcocks, after copying "Singles Going Steady" off my other half. This isn't one of their best, though; seems a bit pedestrian 6/10
2. Kyuss - 800
Now I do love Kyuss, but I maintain that "Blues For The Red Sun" just isn't as good as "Sky Valley", no matter what everyone else says. Anyway, this is one of the short interlude-y songs off there. Unremarkable. 5/10
3. Captain Beefheart - Veteran's Day Poppy
Trout Mask Replica is a magnificent beast of an album. This is a fine song, and reasonably conventional compared to the rest of the album. 7/10
4. Weezer - Only In Dreams
I hardly think I need write much about this. A great end to a great album. Good bassline, awesome solo. 8/10
5. The Fall - Youwanner
The chances of The Fall coming up were pretty likely. Fall Heads Roll is a damn good album, and this is one of the best off it, although it does sound like some other thing I can never quite put my finger on. 8/10
That was fun. Now you!
