Ben Folds and Built To Spill. Stabby like a motherfucker but it's more what those bands bring to mind than the bands themselves.

I heard this on the radio again on the way to work today. They hadn't played it in a while and I thought I was safe. I should have turned it off, but didn't. And now it's been stuck in my head all day. It went away for a couple of hours here and there, but it keeps on sneaking back in. It's catchy in a bad way.

I like a little of Houndmouth's stuff, but here I'm hearing a bunch of cliches strung together (paint by number, lightning and thunder) in a chorus that sounds like B-Side Go-Gos.

Maybe the rest of her album is good, but I'm not gonna try it because this song makes me irrationally angry.

Every time I hear Stranglehold, I think "damn this is a good song" and "I fucking hate goddamn Ted Fucking Nugent" at the same time, and I become angry.

Yes, but that's not irrational anger.

Dawes.

This song was in there, and it's pretty great.

True, but it is irrational that I am not just able to hit skip on Stranglehold. That song has my moral compass in a stranglehold, baby. I'm gone, it crushed my face.

I honestly don't know if I've ever listened to a record front-to-back, so maybe I should try to be open-minded. Sometimes a song will come on when my wife's phone is hooked up to the Bluetooth and my impression is always like "what if Jackson Browne didn't spend any time at all on his lyrics?"

The deal now is I don't play Pavement/Malkmus when she's home in exchange for no Dawes when I'm home.
