Listen, Jim's Cold Rainbow Is All In His Head - Sunday Shuffle

The Black Rainbow - Coheed and Cambria.  Understated isn't a word that should ever be used to described a C&C song so I'll call it subdued.  You're never hit over the head with any kind of bombast yet they create a cinematic, epic song here.  These are my favorite kinds of songs.  This is also the song that cemented my permanent fandom.

 

You Don't Mess Around With Jim - Jim Croce.  Jim sure likes singing about bad asses.  I think this is the superior of the Jim Croce bad ass songs.  Glad to hear that someone named "Slim" was admitted to the league of badassery.

 

The Cold Part - Modest Mouse.  I usually dig a rock song with strings but I'm not enjoying this at all.  It's an unfocused downer of a dirge.  It needs an interesting bridge and an urgent coda for it to be listenable.

 

Listen To Me - J. Mascis.  More meandering downer music.  Yech.  

 

Stop Funk'n With My Head - Infectious Grooves.  Seems dated.  Maybe I'm just in critical mood after the last two downer songs.  I guess it's an adequate funk jam.
