Bomb the Bass - Beat Dis: 7
Have to disagree with Hymie about the samples. They make the song for me. They keep the whole thing humorous and entertaining, whereas I think as a pure instrumental it might have gotten stale for me before the end. The use of samples makes it seem like a precursor to Frontier Psychiatrist by The Avalanches, even if it isn't as radical.
Dinosaur Jr. – Start Choppin: 6
Solid alt-rock from the nineties. I generally like Dinosaur Jr., but I also do always tend to forget how their songs go. This is no exception.

I remember that this was a hit when I was younger, but hadn't heard it in ages. Never knew it was a Blondie song. A pretty good one too, making the best of those Debbie Harry vocals.

Apparently they are a metal band, but this is something more mellow, a gentle yet sweeping instrumental. Goes down easy.

Not the most remarkable pop song ever, but it goes down as easy as the title promises.

Just a fine dance song from the quintet.
Fleetwood Mac - Not That Funny: 4
Almost hard to believe this is a Fleetwood Mac song. It doesn't sound like one. Usually the thing that stands out in their songs is an ear for easy melody, but that is absent here. What we get is a rhythm-based song that doesn't really lift off and even comes across as horribly fake to me.

Re: Biggest Fan - August 2020
Kanye West - 30 Hours: 3
Yeah, a song from The Life of Pablo. I never heard this one before. I've never been able to put myself to listening to that album because all the apparent highlights seemed terrible to me (yes, even Ultralight Beam) and this is another one that will probably keep me away from that album for all eternity. I don't really get it. I never was big on Kanye but his redeeming quality was that the songs would pretty much always be very well produced, but these songs, including 30 Hours, just sound tacky to me. Almost unfinished. And Kanye was never a great rapper to me, but here he sounds like he is barely paying attention to his own song. 30 Hours feels very hollow to me. I thought that The Life of Pablo and its songs would fade away after a time, but I'm feeling that they have only become more popular. What is the appeal?

Joe Satriani - The Crush of Love: 7
A friend of mine had this phase were he was obsessed with all these guitar wizards and that included a heavy addiction to Joe Satriani at one point. I remember having a discussion with him about Satriani, in which I argued that he is a guitar player looking for a band, because most of his songs are mostly virtuosity without any soul, purpose or urgency and frequently without shape. I usually get the feeling that he is playing these long guitar instrumentals because he can, not because he has found any reason to. Of all the great guitar heroes Satriani always seemed the most shallow to me.
But The Crush of Love is one of the few exceptions. This is a very cool song. No, it is not deep or anything, but it just feels grand and it has a lot of entertainment value.
