Something about my nom placing in the bottom few just feels more normal.
1. Blaze Foley - Springtime in Uganda
- Blaze Foley was a funny guy, also a naturally talented, charismatic wonder of country/folk music that sadly never made it big and was cut down way too soon.
2. Ride - Vapour Trail
- I wasn't expecting to like this so much, because I don't really enjoy whole lot of Pitchfork-approved 90s stuff. I might have to dig a little deeper and see if this marks a shift in my taste or if it's just an anomoly.
3. Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up
- That riff and their energy just make for good music. Even if they are kinda silly hippies.
4. Claude King - Wolverton Mountain
- Such a fun classic song.
5. Annihilator - Alison Hell
- That scream almost made me put this song at the top
6. Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers
- I guess because she's a pretty girl, I thought her music was going to be poppier. That'll teach me to have pre-conceived notions.
7. Still Corners - Black Lagoon
- Could be a little dreamier, but I'm digging it well enough.
8. Hanzel und Gretyl - Evil as Fukk
- Hilarious song. I like metal bands that embrace how over the top the whole thing is.
9. The Chevelles - Barbarella
- Not quite as cool as I thought it was going to be when it started. I like the talking more than the singing.
10. JINJER - I Speak Astronomy
- I'm still not really feeling this style of metal that often.
11. Red Box - In America
- I don't know why, but this song kinda creeps me out.
12. Hugh Cornwell - Another Kind of Love
- Five stars to Svankmajer tho.

I always feel bad about it. It's just that country is one of the things I really struggle with. I wish I could like it more, because it's not as if I don't have a broad taste in music. I just can't seem to get into it.

1. Still Corners - Black Lagoon
I love this band. I discovered them only in the last year or two, so it's still a new love. This feels like a summer song.
2. Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers
I love her. It was a tough choice between this and Still Corners for number 1 spot. They might have been switched around in placing had this been winter instead of the middle of a hot summer.
The Chevelles - Barbarella
I like this. Never heard it before.
JINJER - I Speak Astronomy
I like a woman who can sing and growl. Vintersea fared well with me, too. It can't just be clean vocals, or operatic. Has to have a bit of growl.
Hugh Cornwell - Another Kind of Love
Quirky. I dig it.
Annihilator - Alison Hell
Kind of a classic.
Ride - Vapour Trail
Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up
I love the band, but that's not a favourite song.
Hanzel und Gretyl - Evil as Fukk
What? I wasn't expecting that.
Red Box - For America
Another "oh THAT song" moment.
Claude King - Wolverton Mountain
Blaze Foley - Springtime in Uganda

Right there with you on the seasonal musics, @cat_sidhe! For instance, I never listen to Moonsorrow during the warmer months, but in the winter, I might gave a Moonsorrow record in the car for a month straight!
Some stuff just screams a season.

Am I weird for listening to The Fall in Spring or am I just seasonally maladjusted?

Round 8
1. Annihilator - Alison Hell
(A masterclass in thrash. Same goes for the album as a whole.)
2. Chelsea Wolf - Carrion Flowers
(A siren beckoning listeners from the darkness. My soul is available for the taking.)
3. JINJER - I Speak Astronomy
(I'm usually more into the singer's effortless angel/demon vocal transformations than the band backing her, but this is a good showcase for their talent. Not something I'd listen to regularly as it's a bit long and overly dramatic, but it's quite a dynamic song. Fairly cinematic, as well.)
4. Claude King - Wolverton Mountain
(Fun storytelling with a sound that makes me want to saddle up and snap my fingers. Puts me in mind of 50's Technicolor westerns.)
5. The Chevelles - Barbarella
(The spoken verses and the sung chorus don't quite mesh, but it's still a cool song and I like the hot-rod rock-n-roll instrumentation.)
6. Blaze Foley - Springtime in Uganda
(Those lyrics. Too bad it sounds like I'm listening to it on a broken AM radio, but in a way that adds to the intimacy and down-home charm.)
7. Rage Against the Machine - Wake Up
(Makes me want to take to the streets so I can get hit with rubber bullets and tear gas.)
8. Still Corners - Black Lagoon
(Definitely a very summery song, but not really feeling it too much at the moment. Maybe I'm just in a wintry mood. Although I do like how the chorus just sorta washes over you like the ocean tide.)
9. Hugh Cornwell - Another Kind of Love
(I was so fascinated by the strange music video that I barely paid attention to the song.)
10. Red Box - For America
(Not into its British 80's sound, but lyrically this is a very interesting song. For a second I thought they were singing "go, Trump, go," which would've made perfect sense given the song's anti-American sarcasm.)
11. Hanzel und Gretyl - Evil as Fukk
(Kinda boring due to the extreme repetition, both lyrically and musically.)
12. Ride - Vapour Trail
(Never been into this shoegaze sound. To me it's usually just background noise to zone out to without ever really paying attention to the music itself.)
