Not the “best songs” - we have a thread for 2022 best / fave songs & albums geesh- but songs you liked that were unusual, passed over, hard to find, misunderstood or just flying under the radar …..
Peter Doherty & Frédéric Lo - “Abe Wassenstein” - This might make my 10 best albums - when usually I just stop after about 6 or 7……This is the simplest song on it - done in a guileless, offhand manner ……it comes late on the record and hits with a surprising weight in its full context
The Roxies - “Beat of the Street” - German band - completely ignored in the US for a fine album way back in January. The kind of 2 minute rebel song Pitchfork would have hyped at one time as part of The Return of Rock!…….but certainly not now…….it’s worth seeking out ……
Wet Leg - “Red Eggs / Primo Skin / Girlfriend / Obvious / I Want To Be Abducted (By A UFO)” - They’ve played all of these live - all on Youtube - but haven’t recorded any (yet?) - How many of these endlessly appealing songs do they have stashed anyway - and is this an album #2 preview?
Screeching Weasel - “Pandora’s Eyes” - Ben Weasel’s latest curveball song - sly tempo changes that give the simultaneous effect of a bouncy Rock song and pretty ballad - it’s neither; the use of the name “Pandora” while lacerating himself lyrically and joyously shouting “Oh!” at the guitar break to make this song about duplicity even harder to read ….
Colleen Green - “College Rock” - Bandcamp only song that sounds like her terrific, deceptive album Cool (2021). The only way to hear it is to find it on bandcamp because she’s stoned and can’t be bothered about her Art…….she’d laugh at it even being called Art probably tbh…..
