Well, writing about the Beatles on here would be a bit of a bore given how big they are. But alas, considering the breadth of their discography, there's no doubt there are songs out there that I don't know of.

I swear I've heard this one before (especially the chorus), but I guess I never knew the actual name or words, so I'm going to let it slide. It's pretty catchy, and takes the form of some of their most popular rock songs. Instead of being about loving you, this time it's about surviving the meager life of a writer. Some things don't change, don't they? The best thing about this song is that it doesn't drag on more than it needs to. With tiny nuances here and there, it's a rock song that has the appearance of a song more complex than it really is. Beatles formula with a twist.

Rating: 7/10

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
