Today's featured shit

It’s a single with two B-sides. “Even Think” is short and has a lot of keyboard in it. It reminds me of “Kubota Tractor” by Run for Cover Lovers. “Heavy Hand” is the longest track and will be great for Flaming Lips fans. “Why Cant I Touch It” is slightly cheerier but still has the same harmony and psychedelics that the other tracks had. I am the only person to have ever listened to this record sober, and that’s why this review is so short.

This reeks of being from Los Angeles. The cover art is an ass. Let’s see. Nope. New York City. Well, this review is off to a great start. I’m already grasping at straws here because there isn’t much for me to write about. This album seems uninspired and reminds me of Bettie Serveert’s later efforts, after Carol van Dyk’s voice was shot from all those cigarettes.
The musical accompaniment is your standard rock-and-roll fare, getting slightly upbeat in “Money.” This is an enjoyable track and stands out from the rest. “Don’t to Do” is a Ting Tings reject with bass that belongs in a Cars song. Actually it comes together alright, but it’s not very inspiring.
“Just a Friend” is a Biz Markie cover, although they butcher the lyrics here and there. Most importantly, they never say “oh, snap!” which for most Americans was the first time they ever heard the phrase. Any good rendition of “Just a Friend” is measured on the strength of “oh, snap!” At any rate, this version is a ballad and could be what breaks her. Generation Y thinks this song is a classic, and they will be all over this like Alien Ant Farm’s cover of “Smooth Criminal.”
Otherwise, this album gives me little reason to care. Maybe if you’re into that Velvet Underground sound.
