Recent Review Favorites
Here are my favorite tracks from the albums I’ve reviewed over the past week on this website. The artists are in the order I reviewed them, with the songs in my order of preference.
Dogs on Television – “Forget It”
The closing song on DoTV’s eponymous debut is a fast-paced, blues’y Rolling Stones-type rocker featuring a kazoo solo.
Dogs on Television – “Big Dumb Train Song”
Loud ’70s-rock a la Grand Funk Railroad.
Dogs on Television – “Ben Riley”
A bit of Led Zeppelin, if you will.
The Barbarellatones – “It’s All Your Fault!”
Total new wave trash and the best break-up song of the decade!
The Barbarellatones – “Bird of Prey”
Haunting, mysterious, Bowie-esque love song to a pet falcon.
The Barbarellatones – “Medication Time”
The hazy day-to-day activities of a mental patient.
The Barbarellatones – “The Last Party”
A happily depressing ditty that could be a lost track from Lou Reed‘s Berlin.
DaVinci – “Blood Red”
A tough Black Sabbath-y tale about living in the ‘hood.
DaVinci – “The Fruits of Our Labor”
A paean for the working man via Black Sabbath and Grand Funk Railroad.
DaVinci – “Mother Earth”
Heavy rocker originally recorded by a band called Stonehenge in 1992.
