Todd Howard Song — It Just Works (BETHESDA the Musical) ■ ft. Kyle Wright — 8. I don't really know much about Bethesda, but the humor is good, and the music is quite decent.
Lana Del Rey - Freak — 9. This one really hit the spot. I'm not a big fan of Lana, but it really resonated with me, and I even came back to it after listening to other songs and gave it a higher rating. The music video is also beautiful.
"Well, basically..." Performed by: Victoria Magnificent! — 5. I wanted to give it a higher rating for Pushnoy and for the fact that the musicians are really going all out, but even the music got a bit boring towards the end. In fact, I would have given most of Pushnoy's songs and covers a higher rating, even a simple "Smile and Wave" or something. But even good comedians (yes, it's a reference, for those who get it) sometimes have bad jokes.
Little Dark Age — 7. Not bad, I generally like this kind of music, but maybe it just wasn't the right mood at the moment.
Goodbye, Gul'sary! — 6. I'm not a big fan of this kind of music, but it's okay, maybe I would have given it a higher rating if it was the right mood.
Orville Peck - Dead of Night [OFFICIAL VIDEO] — 7. It's good, it's high quality, and the beginning is promising, but something is missing. Maybe the vocals weren't to my taste.
ACCEPT - Breaker (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) — 7. The music is predictably energetic and stylish, but the vocals are a bit lacking, and it gets a little tiresome towards the end.
100 gecs - hand crushed by a mallet (Remix) [feat. Fall Out Boy, Craig Owens, Nicole Dollanganger] — 6. It's very good in places, but they overdid it with the experimentalism (although that's the idea here). A few years ago, I probably would have given it a higher rating.
クリスタルKITSUNE - Don't Forget Me — 6. If it were translated into Russian, it would probably sound like the first one, but it's a little better, and the solo is cool.
Rome - One Fire — 7. Not bad, it's a bit Tom Waits-esque and Leonard Cohen-esque. I recently discovered this band, and I was wondering where I had seen the name before, and then I remembered "What are you listening to right now?". I would probably give this song a higher rating:
The Cog is Dead - BURN IT DOWN — 9. Wow, this is really good. I've never been particularly into steampunk music, but it even made me want to listen to more. For complete happiness, maybe it's missing a bass guitar (that's just me) and a slightly more expressive vocal.
Goodnight, Texas - Moonshiners — this is a solid 10 and my endless soundtrack of the past autumn. There was also the option to send this - my endless soundtrack of the entire year, but I would probably give it a lot of 2s, 3s, and 4s:
^ By the way, the bassline is very similar to Cog is Dead, which shows my love for this kind of thing.
Slim Dusty - Pub With No Beer (1957) — 8. Good old-fashioned country, maybe a bit boring in places, but I can't bring myself to give it a lower rating.
The White Buffalo At: Guitar Center "The Whistler" — 10. Okay, let it be, even though it's probably not a masterpiece, it's still absolutely "my" kind of music and the best track here. I know this artist, but I just haven't gotten around to listening to more. Excellent ending.
In short, either those "tea parties" and age are still influencing me, or the H.V. guys are really sending good stuff. Most likely, it's both.
To sell my soul
