Song: "Big Mistake"
Artist: HOKO
Album: Heathen
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN65LwzYGV8][/center]
It's alright, but not enough to get an add.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Half a Human"
Artist: Real Estate
Album: Half a Human
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLRlo2Gh6fw][/center]
Nice little mellow number. I like it!
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "not alone"
Artist: mehro
Album: SKY ON FIRE
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4j3iOXUNh8][/center]
This is good! But let's see if we can't find anything better before we add it.
Song: "chance with you"
Artist: mehro
Album: SKY ON FIRE
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnIVGG3ny5w][/center]
Not bad, but I'll like the first song better, so I'll add that one.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "Solstice"
Artist: The Antlers
Album: Green to Gold
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16z9iTlx5S0][/center]
Boring. Dare I try another?
Song: "Just One Sec"
Artist: The Antlers
Album: Green to Gold
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gusNBZZ8-lQ][/center]
Just as boring. I won't be trying another.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "White Dress"
Artist: Lana Del Rey
Album: Chemtrails Over the Country Club
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJuV8PDwvC8][/center]
I've never been a big Lana Del Rey fan, but this was rather pleasant. It started off a little boring, but it got interesting a third of the way through and then stayed that way, lol. It gets an add.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "How Many Times"
Artist: Esther Rose
Album: How Many Times
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8efh5ylAJ8w][/center]
Lovely! I think this is the first real folk song I've found so far. It's a good one!
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "VIEWS (feat. Reo Cragun & ROUSSO)"
Artist: Noga Erez
Album: KIDS
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od8LTTBY5E4][/center]
Very good! This has been the most impressive one so far. This is a definite add.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "You Stayed / To Live"
Artist: For Those I Love
Album: For Those I Love
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD10ES74K10][/center]
It goes back and forth between being boring and being okay at-best, lol. But obviously, not good enough to make the cut.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Down To Ride"
Artist: Skeggs
Album: Rehearsal
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QpHUfbNcHM][/center]
Not bad, but it sounds like they can do better. Let's find out...
Song: "Bush TV"
Artist: Skegss
Album: Rehearsal
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdUeKt8Uiv8][/center]
Surf punk! Haven't heard this kind of music in a long time. It's alright, but not quite enough hooks. Maybe one more will do the trick
Song: "Valhalla"
Artist: Skegss
Album: Rehearsal
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU4rZVd-XsE][/center]
All of these songs are just okay. But like I've said before, it takes more than okay to earn an add.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Unathi (feat. Piya Malik)"
Artist: El Michels Affair
Album: Yeti Season
[center][i][No video available][/i][/center]
I don't find enough foreign language songs. This one was lovely! It gets an add.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "Hématome"
Artist: L'Impératrice
Album: Tako Tsubo
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOs7wtSiJnQ][/center]
I wanted more foreign language music and it looks like I'm getting it! This song is okay, but let me check to see if they don't have something better.
Song: "Anomalie bleue"
Artist: L'Impératrice
Album: Tako Tsubo
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGxOaDdg2kI][/center]
Hmm... Another.
Song: "Peur des filles"
Artist: L'Impératrice
Album: Tako Tsubo
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUH-z_SBlj0][/center]
This one is good! I knew they had a gem hidden somewhere. Just for the heck of it, let me look through one more...
Song: "Submarine"
Artist: L'Impératrice
Album: Tako Tsubo
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SLjLKWt96Y][/center]
Omg, this one is good too! I shouldn't have looked for another song. Damn my music finding instincts, lol. I hate it when this happens. I mean, I love it when I find two good songs, but I hate having to choose between them. As per my rules for my playlist, only one song per artist can be added. This is going to take some careful consideration, but in any case, we got an add.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "Murder at the Bingo Hall"
Artist: Amigo the Devil
Album: Born Against
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUSVli8GFm0][/center]
This song told an interesting story, lol. But the song itself is just okay.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Everyone's the Same"
Artist: ISLAND
Album: Everyone's the Same - Single
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hNj4pq7P1I][/center]
Too unoriginal.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "New Person, Old Place"
Artist: Madi Diaz
Album: New Person, Old Place - Single
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36xrys5DoLA][/center]
It was turning out to be just okay, but it ended up having its moments where it shined. Sometimes some shining moments can save an otherwise okay-sounding track. Oh, what the hell? I guess this one's shining moment save it.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "Penny Connection"
Artist: Lunarette
Album: Clair De Lunarette- EP
[center][i][No video available][/i][/center]
This song reminds me of late '80s, early '90s alternative like The Jesus and Mary Chain. I'll add it.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "Tomorrow Is Today"
Artist: Henry Chadwick
Album: Tomorrow Is Today - EP
[center][i][No video available][/i][/center]
Close enough.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]

[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7klLUVWXAo0][/center]
Here we are. This will work.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Four adds in a row and I just realized that this is the highest amount of adds in a single session we've had yet! Here's hoping for a lot more.
Song: "Demon"
Artist: The Dust Coda
Album: Mojo Skyline
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6KPXGalGqM][/center]
So unoriginal! The song isn't bad, but it's so lacking in originality, I just can't like it. No add.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Maybe I'm jinxing myself when I point out how many adds in a row I've got, lol.
Song: "congratulations"
Artist: phem
Album: how u stop hating urself(pt 1.5)
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5dKzylkDCE][/center]
Meh. Does nothing.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Serotonin"
Artist: girl in red
Album: if i could make it go quiet
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wehVzQt4Czg][/center]
Yuck.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "How Does It Feel"
Artist: London Grammar
Album: Californian Soil
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6z2PksOqN0][/center]
It gets better as the music picks up, but it doesn't quite make the cut. Maybe another song will?
Song: "Lose Your Head"
Artist: London Grammar
Album: Californian Soil
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8oD9jlCFJw][/center]
Nope.

[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Set Me Free"
Artist: Pop Evil
Album: Versatile
Lol, I'm familiar with this band and "versatile" is not something I would ever use to describe their music. An antonym for it, maybe. But let's give them a try. Maybe the album really does have that name for a reason.
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfC9pnCLuyI][/center]
To their credit, I do hear [i]some[/i] experimentation in this song. But they still have that generic hard rock sound, so it's not saying a whole lot. Still about as much as I expected from them.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Invincible (feat. Lindsey Stirling)"
Artist: Escape The Fate
Album: Chemical Warfare
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCBTwwJ65E8][/center]
Boring. But this is another band I had low expectations for anyway.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Action Replay"
Artist: The Fratellis
Album: Half Drunk Under a Full Moon
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU7kvU3qjYk][/center]
*first few seconds* Piano! That's a good start already.
This is classy! It reminds me of the style from Led Zeppelin's album [i]In Through The Out Door.[/i] It gets an add.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "Soft Spot"
Artist: Claud
Album: Super Monster
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjqTrZUL_2U][/center]
It's okay. But can they do better?
Song: "Cuff Your Jeans"
Artist: Claud
Album: Super Monster
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFz0cMbCx00][/center]
Yes they can! This one's groovy.
