Recently Extinct: UUVVWWZ

I said I wasn't going to do anymore Recently Extinct blogs until I came across UUVVWWZ. I lied.

You see, when I'm working, I have my iPod on most of the time. If I find a song I don't like, I mark it 1 star, so later when I sync my iPod, I'll know to remove that song from my device. (If you have a better way of doing this... I'd be happy to hear your method!) If I like a song, I'll mark it a higher star rating and if I'm indifferent it gets no stars.

While I'm doing this, if something catches my attention enough, I'll write it down on a little list I keep so I can go back and listen to more later. These lists are what I keep with me to remember what to tell you about when I actually get around to blogging.

When I first started this blog, I was going to do some reviews of music I didn't like, but I stopped doing that because I don't want to be one of those people. You know the ones... they join Yelp just to do a horrible review for one business after one experience or even worse because they've heard something bad and haven't even gone there themselves.

I don't like when people say "Oh, I hate _____." and haven't even tried it...or even if they have tried it and still hate it, that doesn't mean other people have to hate it.

I hate miso soup, but there are bazillions of people out there that eat it. I don't understand it. I can't stand it. I don't even want to think about it.

Well, UUVVWWZ is my new miso soup. They are to music what Amy Schumer is to comedy...wait...now I've gone too far. No one is as bad as she is.

Anyway, when UUVVWWZ came up on my ipod, it impacted me so that I wrote it on my list of things to tell you about and next to it I wrote BAD BAD BAD.

You be your own judge. Remember that I tried to warn you.

Dinomite Track: Anni Rossi - Land Majestic

I don't listen to a lot of Anni Rossi's music... well I haven't yet... I'm not saying I won't. I have her Daytrotter sessions and really love Land Majestic.

I'm not sure how "official" or "unofficial" this video is, but it's all I've got:
