Greg's Hot Hot Hot Review
Grease Band – 2
Got it too late to review, but what I listened to was good, judt not my thing
Hot Hot Heat - 2
Let’s ride on the hot hot sound of the month. Other than them sounding like every other band I thought that they were as good as all of the others, Killers, Phoenix, even Jack White etc. There were a few songs that were so whiney, there is no way that they could have thought that these songs weren’t completely annoying.
Matthew Sweet – Altered Beast – 3.5
I don’t think I’m a retard, I think that Mike cured me from my retardedness. I like Matthew Sweet. I still hate The Dirty Projectors though. You could lay Neil Young’s Mr. Soul on top of The Ugly Truth and they’d be the same song but it was still good.
The National – High Violet – 5
This is the best fucking cd I’ve heard in a long time.
Willie Nile – 3
Now I don’t think it’s a stretch to guess who’s cd this is. Hmm let me see, sounds just like Bob Dylan, hmmm, can only be one of two people. I guess Monsta? Well, thank you who ever you are because I really like this guy. Pick of the month.
Bloodhound Gang – GH
I’m not a rap expert by any means, but as far as I can tell this is just kind of fun silly shit. I certainly wouldn’t be caught dead cruising down the hood in the Audi cranking this, although it would sound good. I suspect that I get beaten up. In both Avon and Hartford.
1. a)Define your music reviewing strategy.
I typically give each cd a cursory listen and then if anything strikes me I delve in deeper. Most often I’ll listen several times the week prior to the meeting.
b)What is a 5/4/3/2/1?
If I love it, it’s a 5, if it sucks it’s a 1 anything else is in the middle, duh. Classics and potential classics are a 5 (Rush – Moving Pictures or Pygmy Love Circus) and shit music is a 1 (Justin Beiber or Fugs).
Where do you draw the line as to what you keep? I keep everything.
c) if you keep- what makes the cd shelf, the mp3 player or both?
It all goes on the iPod just in case someone ever wants to hear something. I can always forward anything.
2. Name 5 bands/recordings ( can be entire catalog or just a specific recording) that instantly makes you feel cooler than you are.
Beetles
Zappa
Anything that you guys listen to.
