BSS cool song. not my favorite BSS submission but, def a contender for the win this week !! for some reason, it just doesn't seem like the band is totally "in to" this piece. great playing, as always, but didn't seem to flow like i expect from a BSS song. no matter, ya'll rock....and will probably win this week !!!!

j$ very well produced. reminded me of the 7 0'clock news by simon and garfunkel. of course, i don't have a clue what's being said, but i really like it !!

WreakdoM french speaking 'Beck' bravo !!!

Nick Soma very tough subject to compose a toe tapper. that's a general statement, not necessarily directed at nick's song. that said, like my thoughts on the BSS song, not your best work nick. a very good song, but this one will not be on my nick soma playlist. can't write a #1 every week....although you come very close most times !!

inflatable vegetables the lyrics remind me of some sex pistols songs...esp. from never mind the bollocks !!! not bad !!

Lands of Hum hmmmm....i like this song a lot, esp. if i don't get too wrapped up in the lyrics. reminds me of the folk flavor of the village coffee houses back in '60's nyc. (yes, i'm that old...although i was too young to legally drink alcohol at the time) still, i saw and heard a lot of this type of music...and, i still love it !!!

Nu igen! I like the vibe of this one also, not sure exactly what you are singing 'about'...but, you have a very nice way of saying it !!!

Michael Muranaka not in my wheelhouse, but i get what's going on... and, not so long that it becomes boring... thx !

Mister Mann this is the only song on this week's list that i'd expect to hear coming from a little french bar. smoke filled room, sophie milman type with a booze-addled voice...BRAVO !!!! the layered approach is perfect. vocals complimented by each added instrument....accordion intro and foundation.....genius !!!! VOTE !!!

toby roktot yes...hahaha... as i get older, i realize (and publicly display) my mental limitations. hell, i barely speak english correctly....(red said..."you sound like some honky trying to speak french with a mexican accent)....NAILED IT !!!! well, i liked it but, not quite as much after i saw the reviews...lol. thanks to all for the reviews and i really enjoy hearing all your songs...

p.s. in case no-one got my "clever" klownhole=wreckdom criticism, I stand proud on that witticism. IAAC.
