Somer synopsis says sally sucks strawberries

The following is a highly complex and clever review of my latest mix disc "Somer". I think i may enjoy this review more than the mix itself. Only time will tell. Be forewarned; Zac IS a renaissance man. Some parts were, ehem, edited for all audiences


(1. Justice: D.A.N.C.E) The first song, Hanson's Revenge, gets a live blog breakdown, since the event is burned into my memory down to the second.

(0:00-0:16) hey cute intro, I wonder what this leads into
(0:17-0:32) oh ok same thing, repeated, and louder. Nice melody, but I hope this goes somewhere else soon
(0:33-0:42) uh oh now I'm worried, they're developing the intro and really bringing in the instrumentals to back this up-- oh shit was that the hook
(0:42-1:15) ok stay calm, just focus on the funky Daft Punk bass, and try not to think about how much you viscerally despise Hanson. oh maan this is really bad-- ok that was definitely the hook
(1:16-1:33) back to the intro for round 2. NOT TERRIBLE
(1:34-2:07) second, verse, same as the first, and if you're over 6, then go ahead and curse
(2:07-2:24) yayy is this what is referred to in music as a "bridge"? If so then I hope it takes me to the unfrosted side of the miniwheat
(2:24-2:42) aaaaaaaarrrrrgghhhga *click*
(2:42-end) I don't know SEAN because I've never made it that far

SS: Wow, so i guess that song is an hommage to Michael Jackson. So you were close!

(2. Figurine: Way Too Good) Awesome, very Postal Service. I am memorizing this song for singing purposes. Perhaps someday some lucky :) will get a rad serenade from me. Make his :) day.

SS: This sounds like Postal Service because it is exactly one half of them, the electronic one to be precise.

(3. Stars: Window Bird) Also awesome. I need to know who this is.

SS: And they are Canadian, works totally well for you mister!

(4. The Sounds: Rock 'N Roll) This one bugged me. The rhymes were disturbingly disjointed (am I missing the point here? it strikes me as lazy), the main melody is super unoriginal, and the chorus was yet another Pachelbel Cannn redux

(5. The Dandy Warhols: The Last High) One of my favorites on the album. Also gonna memorize this one.

(6. Bent: Handbrake) Wow sounds like Sean Lennon. Fun to sing along to, but ultimately forgettable.

(7. Tracey Thorn: Easy) I liked this song a lot more on my headphones than in my car for some reason (some songs are like that, aren't they?). Touching. Sad. Completely gay.

(8. The Soft Lightes: 1983) Another favorite. I love the neo 80s sound and the lyrics are refreshingly cognizant and life-affirming. Wait, is this a gay song too? I can't never tell if it's the song or just me.

(9. Unkle: Keys to the Kingdom) Rockin'

(10. Digitalism: Pogo) So Rockin'

(11. Naked Ape: Fashion Freak) Hahaha fuck you SO ROCKIN. you wouldn't believe how many people I almost kill when this song comes on in my car (hint: MANY)

SS: You should see the video for this. Zombie models cleaning a car while the band sits inside. Amazing!

(12. Vitalic: Poney, Pt.1) Great song. Dark, driving, brooding, creepy and hilarious all at once (I want to master some pseudo german matching the timbre the pony speaks). Love that whole Vitalics album.

SS: Based on a French childrens story about a pony who wants kids to know how miserable he is working in a fare.

(13. Tiga: You Gonna Want Me) Super dancy, super rad. Poney somehow fits with this really well. In my singing practice I am also trying to sound like a black woman.

(14. The Knife: Heartbeats (Rex The Dog Mix)) This wins the award of Most Listened To song. Everything about it rocks. The minute and a half intro, that chick's voice, the melody, the completely-not-overbearing neo-Cindy-Lauper instrumentals, the rockin' breakdown at the end.

Great job Sean! YOU FROZE MY DOUBLE DRAGON.

Zac

PS OK I went ahead and listened to the rest of song 1, and I thought the last 20 seconds was pretty good, like Daft Punk had kids that will ultimately grow up to disappoint them and those who depend on them. Perhaps.
