They are such a fun band to listen to. They've really tapped into their potential market and ran away with it. Satirizing 80's hair metal and doing such a good job at it that you could almost say that they've become the thing they've mocked. Their first album was undeniably their best album. It's been a while since I've listened to a song as good Asian Hooker, so let's see if their most recent release holds a candle to that.

I think their most amazing feature is their lyrical prowess. Combining comedy and blunt, vulgar phrases makes for a really catchy and memorable song. I mean, the title says it all. This is one of those songs that gets played to a large concert audience. I can just see it. If it weren't for a lyrics, it could easily by a Bon Jovi song, don't you think? Maybe Steel Panther is just that good. And truly, they are. Time to go see them live!

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
