Air France GBG Belongs to Us
Analysis: I feel ‘good’ about having Air France in my iTunes library. I think they are conceptual, and use different noises in their music. I think like this. Feel like they might be a better executed version of a band like The Tough Alliances. Not sure ‘how good’ I think they are, but would probably listen to their album when I want to ‘chill by myself’ or ‘have people over’ or something.

The Very Best Warm Heart of Africa
Analysis: I think that this song features the lead bro of the hit blog buzz band ‘The Vampire Twilight Weekends.’ Kinda weird how vampires got so mainstream after that song ‘go so big.’ I am not sure how I am supposed to describe this song. It might be sort of like ‘African’ but might also ’sound like Panda Bear.’ Feeling confused about how to ‘interpret it.’ Might not be ‘cultured enough’ to ‘fully wrap my head around it.’ Might read a p4k review of their album to have a better context/understanding [via number rating].

Delorean Deli
Analysis: I think this band remixed the Teenagers a while ago. Think that this song is ‘pretty okay.’ Reminds me of the Friendly Fires, but maybe not as directly meaningful. They are from Spain, so maybe there is a language/aesthetic barrier. Seems ‘decently chill’, though. Sort of enjoying it. Think they have a new EP coming out. Might be good, but might be ‘forgettable.’

Papercuts Future Primitive
Analysis: Think this song is like 100 blog years old, but I ‘only recently actually listened to it. I think I ‘wrote them off’ because they seemed like a ‘forgettable band’ with a sort of mediocre/gimimcky indie name. But I am ‘really enjoying this song.’ Seems like a more vulnerable-sounding version of Young Folks” by the PBJ. Really enjoying it. Wonder if it is ’secretly’ a ’song of the year’ candidate type of song [via according 2 respected blogs].

I think 1 song is just okay
what does that say about me
Reply
i heart all 4 songs.
feel like The Twelves would play GBG Belongs To Us
feel like Warm Heart of Africa is post-post-colonialism/post-appropriation/congotronix or the result of some other npr fart-smelling trend report
feel like Deli would benefit from a better vocal track
feel like i only got 30 seconds of Future Primitive
feel like the first 30 seconds of future primitive is dpt of eagles/grizzy. who the hell r the paper cuts? who the hell r the department of grizzies?
wayyyy out
you hit it wayyyy out the park, Carlos

i hog some of my fav mp3s just to retain a sense of ‘individuality’. when i play them for friends and they wann aknow who it is, i make up forgettable band names like ‘the very best’ or ‘papercuts.’
