Just kidding... I'll kick you, instead. Okay, still just kidding. But it'd be nice if you'd do some reviews.

shrts - I'm listening at work and somehow I got interrupted with a question and had to pause this midway through my first listen. Quite impressive for a 35 second song. But yeah, it's short, and it rocks.
add - this is a really great bit of indie rock with some good hooks. Love the handclaps. Guitar solo is a bit over-extended maybe, but I really enjoyed this.
Gilmore Lynett Tootle - haha, this really caught me by surprise. I didn't think I'd be into it from the first few seconds but that genre shift definitely got me on board, and I love your take on the title.
Third Cat - really like the drums, especially the shifting hihat rhythms, and the jangling guitars with their slightly disco vibe are very cool. The vocal melody is interesting, but a bit too sombre for the vibe of the song or something I think? It doesn't entirely work for me.
add and Gilmore definitely my favourites but enjoyed all four of these.

shrts - fun but slight. I like the verse a bit more than the "peace among worlds" refrain.
add - I think I mentioned John Vanderslice last time I reviewed one of your tracks, this one reminds me of him even more. I'm a fan of his stuff so I mean that as a compliment. Lots of cool ideas in here, and the vocals work pretty well with the style.
Gilmore Lynett Tootle - Pretty awesome headfake with the guy & guitar intro. Love the way it starts distorting and turns into this totally different electro vibe. Probably my favorite.
Third Cat - Me. I liked my instrumental alright; but couldn't really get the vocals to work and ran out of time.

add - I got like a Tom Petty on speed vibe on the chorus vocal. Which is was a totally cool perspective. I liked the music and the melody and the vocal was competently done. I liked the guitar solo going into the combination of vox/gutiar. That was cool. But honestly, you could have ended this at like 2:41 and it'd have been great for me.
Gilmore Lynett Tootle - I'm really proud of this one and owe a huge debt thankfulness to my collaborator.
shrts - I like the guitars and the energy/drive of the song. I, too, liked the non chorus bit better than the title lines, but I think they work fine. It's too short for my taste, but it's cool what you did here. Get in. Rock. Get out.
Third Cat - I like the guitars. Good use of space and sparseness that works very well for me. The beat was a little distracting on the first listen but I enjoyed it on subsequent listens. I was drawn to the lead bit of an outro on the first listen and actually wish that had gone on for at least a few seconds more with a nice, slow fade.
Damn good fight. Not a bad song or recording in the bunch.

BSS - I like the guitars and the melody. That's a nice melodic guitar break that might be just a bit too loud int he mix. The vocals took me out of it, especially at the beginning. I do like the attitude in the delivery, especially when the drawn out syllables are a consistent pitch. Overall, I like the combination of relaxed music and a kind of in your face vocal delivery.
