With the insane amount of time I spent listening to all the music, I needed to have some fun with the comments on the song list to avoid going crazy. I’m not mocking anything or anyone. I’m just making jokes, so have a sense of humor. The actual list is dead serious, though.

***My Spotify playlist containing all of the songs is at the bottom.***

If you want to follow me on Spotify, my name is shockingly…Adam Comarow

(THE LIST IS MOST IMPORTANT, SO I POSTED IT BEFORE FINISHING MY COMMENTS. I WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS THROUGH THEM AS TIME ALLOWS)

Duck Sauce-Everyone (With Teddy Toothpick)

(Dance): The absolute peak of stupid and catchy.

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness-Canyon Moon

(Slick Indie Rock) Theme song of the next movie involving a woman on an adventure to “find herself.”

Sleepy Sun-Thielbar

(Psychedelic  Rock) I want some of whatever they’re on.

Ani Difranco-Careless Words

(Folk Rock) In case it isn’t clear, Ani doesn’t like “big talkers.”

Mark Lanegan Band-Floor of the Ocean

(Dreamy Alt-Electronic) At this point, I’m just waiting for the Eddie Vedder/Daft Punk collabo.

The Grouch & Eligh-People of the Sun (With Kyle of Slightly Stoopid)

(Rap/Reggae) Every time I listen to this, I immediately crave Taco Bell. Not sure what that’s about.

Eric Church-Talladega

(Country) Country clichés: Pickup truck…check. Football…check. Drinking…check. We’re good.

Busdriver-Ego Death (With Aesop Rock & Danny Brown)

(Alternative Rap) 3-way tie for who has the weirdest verse.

Actress-Birdcage

(Experimental Electronic) This song needs a Legend of Zelda sample.

Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad-Nice Feeling

(Reggae) I love lamp.

Lydia Loveless-Really Wanna See You

(Alt-Country) Lydia admits she can be “such a bitch.” The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Nick Waterhouse-This is a Game

(Retro  1950’s Style R&B) Boogie Woogie

Robert Francis-Baby Was the Devil

(Driving Rock & Roll) EPIC SAX!

The Horrors-I See You

(Layered Synth-Rock) Remember when The Horrors were a garage rock band?

Elbow-Fly Boy Blue/Lunette

(Alt-Rock) Holy Crap…Syd Barrett-era Floyd is back! When is the part about garden gnomes?

Rebelution-De-Stress

(Reggae) Just say no to stress.

Lucinda Williams-West Memphis

(Bluesy Americana) Lucinda’s calling East Memphis chumps! Y’all on the East side just gonna take that?

(Not on Spotify)

Fu Manchu-Anxiety Reducer

(Stoner Rock) Crunchy

Desert Noises-Mice in the Kitchen

(Indie/Roots Rock) The first couple notes sound like Mumford & Sons, but it’s not. You can step off the ledge now.

Eagulls-Nerve Endings

(Shoegazey, Violent Post-Punk) The music video for this song is a decomposing pig brain…So that’s nice.

Le Butcherettes-Your Weakness Gives Me Life

(Noise-Rock) This is probably not the best song to set the mood with that special someone.

Linda Perhacs-The Soul of All Natural Things

(Haunting Singer/Songwriter)I wonder if Patrick Bateman has murdered someone to this song.

Allah-Las-Buffalo Nickel

(Hippie Gobbledigook) Oh, so this is how the Mommas & The Papas would have sounded with talent.

Has-Lo & Casle-Go to Work

(Indie Rap) Any rap song backed with an acoustic guitar must be deep & meaningful! #Truth

Ryan Adams-Stay with Me

(Southern Alt. Rock) Adams is telling Neil Young and Drive-By Truckers that he can do them, but better.

Conor Oberst-Enola Gay

(Singer/Songwriter) Crazy is when y ou’re “mashing Charles Manson songs up with showtunes.”

The Black Keys-Turn Blue

(Southern Blues-Rock) This song reminds me of when The Black Keys didn’t suck.

King Tuff-Black Moon Spell

(Glammy Garage-Rock) Marc Bolan wants his money back.

Shabazz Palaces-#Cake

(Experimental rap) Ever lost your mind? I imagine it was probably something like this music video.

Julian Casablancas & The Voidz-Where No Eagles Fly

(Experimental Alt. Rock) The Strokes have gotten kinda weird.

Moe.-White Lightning Turpentine

(Jam Band/Roots Rock) Someone needs to tell me what the period at end of the band name is all about!

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers-Forgotten Man

(Classic Rock) It’s close enough to make everyone think it’s “American Girl.”

Pharoahe Monch-D.R.E.A.M. (With Talib Kweli)

(Rap) This will be everyone’s go-to who believes good rap stopped existing after 2005.

SomeKindaWonderful-California Love (Tupac Cover)

(Synth-Rock) I bet Tupac drinks MD 20/20’s and blazes beedies to this jam.

The Barr Brothers-Even the Darkness Has Arms

(Folk Rock) I got nothing for this one. Just a damn good song.

…And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead-The Doomsday Book

(Post-Hardcore) This is the only good song on the album. Might need a chat with George A. Romero.
