Part Two

33) Dirty Projectors - Offspring are Blank
This is kinda a weird song (although not really by Dirty Projectors standards).  But even weird songs can kick ass.

32) El P - Oh Hail No
El P is a very good producer and a competent enough rapper.  The reason this song is ranked where it is though is because at the 1:40 mark, Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire gives my favorite rap verse of the year.

31) Kelly Hogan - We Can't Have Nice Things
Is it enough to say I find her voice pretty?  Because that's all the analysis you're going to get.

New Music Roundup 5/22

First off, for those who use spotify, I have started a Drunk on New Music playlist there.  This is going to be an ongoing rolling list of my favorite [number to be determined; right now it's 21] songs.  It won't be an entirely new list of songs each week, but I think I'm going to stick to a set number, so that when I add a new song I'll be taking off an old one.  If you subscribe to the list, I believe it will automatically update the playlist for you every time I change it. 

Along those lines, not an album, but The Gaslight Anthem have released a new single called 45, and it's on this week's spotify list.  It's about what you would expect from the band, which works perfectly fine with me.  I suspect it will not be my favorite track on their upcoming album (due out sometime in July), but it's another catchy rocking song, and having listened to it several dozen times since finding out about it, I have to say it grows on me.
