After watching Spiderman: Far From Home, I'm coming off a high that I'll be chasing for a while. I'll try to keep spoilers to a minimum, but this song is in there. If you didn't know already, the movie is heavily centered around Peter's romance with MJ. Of course, Marvel always seems to know the right songs to put in a movie. Charming as ever, the Ramones are included in the movie to punctuate a montage in the movie, and I think it's disgustingly cute. It makes you reminisce of that unstoppable feeling of teenage romance. Of course, wanting to relive it is just looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses. That's why we have movies instead of actually emulating that past.

The song is simple. A few basic chords here and there, chorus, bridge, you get the deal. The lyrics aren't too compelling either, but sometimes less is more. The message is clear-cut. It helps that the melody is catchy and easy to follow along with. Unlike most of their other work, the tempo is slower as well, and definitely helps to distinguish this piece from the others.

Rating: 8/10

GENRE: electronic I regarded FKA Twigs  as a more experimental electronic, modern artist. Today's song feels quite grounded in conventional techniques. Nothing stands out to me as groundbreaking or pushing the boundaries of the genre. I did not expect someone else to be featured on this album either. Unfortunately it doesn't add up to much on the album. In the best case scenario, it adds to the already plain and monotonous sound. Rating: 4/10

Day 309: White Gloves by Khruangbin // 5

GENRE: indie I can't quite my finger on why I find this three-piece so alluring. They've got a style to them that evokes a carefree sensibility. That much can be seen in their song, White Gloves . Apparently it's part their first album to feature vocals, and it's a welcome addition to the canvas. No one instrument stands out any farther and more unique than the others. Each instrument is featured and mixed pretty evenly, giving me a sense of noiselessness and soothing comfort. However, I think part of that plays against their favor. It plays more like a lo-fi ditty than a fully realized song. At about 3 and a half minutes, I would expect a bit more to be fleshed out. Rating: 5/10
