- Hey,
what? Is this a standup comedy album? I hate standup comedy. I don’t even
have a good reason for hating it, I just do. I didn’t really like Master
of None either but it had Eric Wareheim so even though Aziz is kind of
whiny it was almost worth it. Now I’m trying to figure out what made this
track stand out compared to any of the others. OHHHHH…THE GRAPEFRUIT. Now
I get it.
- Now
we’re into my party jams. PARRRRTY JAMZZZ. You know it’s a party because
she’s singing about booze. That’s how you knew Lorde was old enough to
drink on her album last year. Is that a synthetic steel drum? I guess if
you’re throwing up from all the sugar from your exclusive diet of
screwdrivers you probably don’t want to be handling real drumsticks. Do
people regularly mix higher-end vodka with orange juice? Grey Goose is
gross, but if you liked it and paid for it it seems like a waste to drown
it in OJ.
- This
sounds like Caribou after he wakes up. I like it so far! Plus, he’s
singing about Coca-Cola and so far there’s no rum in it. Bum-bum-boh, bum-bum-boh!
I am extremely satisfied with this song but I’m not following what’s
happening with the soda mystery.
- This
guy sang for some new wave band, right? I don’t know how he couldn’t have.
I’ll just assume this is a Depeche Mode remix. If it’s not, the voice is a
little bit of a put on. I feel like if I broke his heart and crushed his
dreams and all the other things he’s challenging me to do he might feel
differently about his soul. I like the confidence but I don’t trust in his
fortitude. I’ll take that soul if I want to take that soul.
- CHIPMUNK
ROBOTS! I love chipmunks and I love robots so there’s no way this song can
fail me. Oh no…a big ol’ “LIKE THAT” man just took over and messed with
the flow. I didn’t like him until he started playing Pong with the chipmunk
robot and then I was OK with him. I’m 90% sure this song isn’t by Eric
Wareheim or one of his friends but it should be, and he should do the
video. It’s basically a Major Lazer or DJ Douggpound song.
- This
is ominous and WOW she’s really getting right to business. She called me
the “B” word and I didn’t even do anything to her. I don’t know that I’ve
ever been angry enough to relate to a song like this. What the heck is she
saying about a horse? I’m having a hard time following but I feel like not
all of this rant is as focused as it was at the start. So angry.
- I
shouldn’t have started thinking about Tim & Eric…now all the songs
sound like comedy bits. It doesn’t help that the vocals sound like Terry
Crews. Maybe they’re supposed to be. Is he shouting “I got that work!” over
the sirens so his co-worker can hear him? And now they’re working! BANG!
BANG! BANG! BANG! This is my new favorite song. I’m teaching it to the
baby this weekend. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
- We’re
in a saloon! That there cowboy just asked me “what up?” Three time
signature changes in the first minute…not a great sign. What is this song
doing? CHOOSE A SIDE! Buuuuut…it has a wacky fake phone conversation and
isn’t angrily telling me about blood and money so it’s not all bad. “Little
baby man”? Did I hear that right?
- This
is the slowest of my JAMZZZZZZZ so far. I don’t know why I keep doing that
but I’m all in now so I might as well run with it. The second vocalist on
the mix that I don’t care for. He talked about blue flowers though…maybe
he knows Kool Keith. So many mid-song shifts though and now it’s not a
slow JAMMMZZZ. One of the sub-songs is definitely stolen from “Ms. Jackson”.
The rest are stolen from various rooms in the all-robot fetish club and
now I’m drenched in antifreeze and various lubricants. That was kind of
exhausting.
- I
hope this is the Macarena. No vocals yet and I’m grateful after that last
song. I’m really enjoying this one so far – nice and trance-y and it feels
wide open. I’m not really writing much because I’m enjoying this a lot.
Good song. Done.
- Oh
boy…glad I got a chance to relax with the last song. This one was recorded
inside the tank of a tanker truck where we thought it was a good idea to
have a rave but then a raccoon closed the hatch and now we’re trapped in
here. We need to bang on the sides to try to alert someone that we’re in
here, but we also need to PARTY. PARTY JAMMZZZZZZ. This whole sounds like
when I “play” the siren whistle by breathing in and out but played through
stadium speakers. I would be OK if I never had to listen to this again.
- Oh
good…sounds like the truck is driving away. The problem is that we’re
inside it. Actually, aside from the awful and grating intro this isn’t too
bad. Kind of like if one of the Blue Room Released artists didn’t want you
to relax at all.
- I’m
glad I’m getting breathing instructions for
relaxationhypnosis. CONTROL MY MIND, JAMZZZZ. Oh wait…it’s hypnotizing me into relaxing. With squeaky shoes and Slinkies. I think I had this song on a Ras Dva industrial sampler in 1994. Because I’m super old. - OH
MAN, HARRY NILSSON! I love Harry Nilsson, although this isn’t my favorite
song. I did have a dream of dressing the oldest male offspring in a
leather fringe jacket and recording him staring into storefronts back when
he was two years old. Nothing funnier than a toddler midnight cowboy.
Final Rating: Seven
sexy robot cowboys out of 10. A few of
them needed to tone it down a bit and I could have done without the excursion
to the fetish club but overall those were some well-programmed JAMZZZZ
BOTZZZZZZ.
