So can I get a (Rain Check reviews)

[Pigfarmer Jr]

Tonight I just wanna whiskey
And sit here alone
Flip through the pictures of the memories on my phone
And jukebox some Whitley
Till the lights come on
You look so right, but girl, it feels so wrong
I thought I could show up, get drunk, and get this heartbreak gone
But tonight, I need a raincheck on moving on

Thank you, yet again, for being the sole person to help me out, by both uploading cover art and by creating the review threads. I hugely appreciate it! For folks who don't know, the show cannot go on w/o cover art and a review thread, due to the way the site works. So PFJr is helping keep this train going in a couple of very important ways.

Thank you

You are welcome. Glad to help. But more people submitting album art would be wonderful.

I just added a late song that I got from "East Bay Rivals" a few days ago.

I want to vote for the late song but I already voted, so please don't throw out my votes for voting twice from the same IP address.

That is not a manual process, Jeff.

Some random thoughts upon a cursory first listen:

Berkeley Social Scene: That little guitar riff in the intro (and repeated occasionally) is fun, kind of reminds me of that "first there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is" song by Donovan. Outside of that -- this is fine but nothing especially stands out to me; even though some instruments get added and subtracted throughout, it feels very dynamically flat, like nearly all the life has been compressed out of it.

Brown Word and the Big Whine: I love the ridiculously overdriven tone on the chugga-chugga guitar part, although by comparison the other guitar part(s) feels slightly anemic. I love the unexpected recorder/flute solo. Vocally, it feels a bit too restrained for the style you seem to be going for (the shouted backing vocals sound great though!)

East Bay Rivals: I promised first-listen thoughts but had to run through this one a second time, because the feedbacky-atmospheric-harmonic guitar evoked a sorta-post-rock-shoegazey vibe that had me expecting a more subdued/dreamy style of vocals than what actually ended up happening, and it was slightly jarring. I kind of dig it though.

Ken's Super Duper Band 'n Stuff: An intriguing blend of styles including hints of krautrock and no-wave, which are two things you just don't hear nearly enough of these days.

Mystic Colossus: Mostly quiet and understated, and then it sort of just peters out at the end. I like the way it sounds overall, but feels more like a rough sketch to be turned into a song, than a completed song.
