We’re currently doing a music league using the Band Jam App and our theme for this past round was Song for a Rainy Day. I found so many songs about rain when looking into this, so I decided randomly to do a top 50 list. See below for links to the #50 to 11 songs. You can listen below for the TOP TEN songs!
I’ve included the list below the fold in a text format with streaming links. In case you’d rather do that. Though I didn’t find streams of all of the songs…
Continue ReadingToday’s Random Album of the Day is Frankie Cosmos and the Emptiness with Love Rind. Frankie Cosmos is super prolific having put out nearly two dozen regular length albums plus EPs and such. Love Rind is early and came out in 2013. To put into perspective they put out like 14 releases in 2012 and 2013. A lot of these early releases are basically bedroom recordings. But you see quite early that they have incredible sense for song writing and melodies. So this isn’t a polished album in the traditional sense. But I love this kind of stuff.
This album is pretty typical of that era. It is primarily just Frankie and their guitar. Not every song is great, but there is so much in here that has catchy melodies with nice lo-fi aesthetics. And I love their ability to sing about just about anything. I believe “birthday song” and “dancing in the public eye” are reprised on Zentropy.
Rating: 9.0
Favorite Song: I loved “gross one” or “birthday song” but my favorite has always been “dancing in the public eye”. My wife loved “mr. monkey’s hypnosis hour”
Keep or Trash: Keep, I love Frankie Cosmos.
