ok, so we're not always keeping it short like a punk song...but it's certainly still lofi.  this episode more like a tapedeck cover of Neu! i guess?   that is if there were some lispy vocal yokel yodeling away about ethics in music, i suppose : P

o d d  d a y  o f f : jazz head stank face music

super condensed yet arty like a wire song off pink flag!  our endless quixote-like quest to find a Billboard Hot 100 single worth writing about continues with tucker wetmore's "3,2,1".  i do wanna say -and i don't think i emphasized it enough: tunes like this are showcase of pop songcraft.  i think these songs are great examples of the form.  i also wish there was more goin on, but ah well. 

a stern look at commercial taste : tucker wetmore "3,2,1"
