Track Reviews

Audioslave - Be Yourself
Get me a seashell and I'll moan into it. I bet it'll sound exactly like Chris Cornell.

Death From Above 1979 - Romantic Rights
Apparantly the correct lyrics are "Come here baby, I love your company", but I always thought it was "Cocaine baby, I love your company", and frankly, my version is way better.

Coldplay - White Shadows
Melody in the chorus is a rip of Midnight Oil's "Beds are Burning". Oh Chris, how can we dance when our earth is turning? How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

The Dandy Warhols - Love is The New Feel Awful
from forthcoming Odditorium or Warlords of Mars

The lyrics are fine and have that distinct Courtney Taylor-Taylor-Taylor-Taylor feel, but the arrangement around them are stuck at about 2 the whole time. At no point does the song build up or get any more exciting. It's like listening to Interpol or The Strokes with only one guitarist. Both those bands need the interplay between the two guitarists for the music to be interesting.

I'm no guitar player, but even I can fuck around on the guitar and make this song more exciting. Hey Courtney, add this riff to the chorus after the double kick-drum beat thing:

----------

----------
7---------
5--7--5--2
---5--3--0

Cause you know, I'm sure bands love hearing how to make their songs sound better from some guy who only knows how to play power chords. I know this is like Frondi telling Ben Affleck that Gigli "isn't gonna work", but it'll at least bring the song up to a 3.

Television - Marquee Moon
Now this is a fucking great guitar rock song. In no way can my shitty guitar playing make this song better.
