It’s the middle of July and it’s HOT here in Minnesota. Presumably the same is true in St. Louis too. Nelly is from St. Louis and you know what he said about what to do when it’s gettin’ hot in hur. So, we’re going to join Republican Hair in our ‘Birthday Suit’, then go skinny dipping ‘Over at Dieter’s Place’ with Mark Barrot. The lake by my house doesn’t allow you to even put a boat in the water and so these ‘Dreams’ (Kelsey Lu) remain ‘Out of Touch’ (Ally Mattson) along with the Catastrophe of having a ‘Party in my Pussy’. *sigh* But enough of this ‘Jibber Jabber’ (Digitzz and DJ Abstract) about the desires of my ‘Fickle Heart’ (Canary). Here are all of our recommendations from new music added to Spotify the week of July 8th.
Want to discover what we missed? Listen to the full list of Fresh Cuts and tell us what we got wrong. Or, if one of us more closely aligns with your personal tastes, check out the ballots of Adam, Jesse, or Moksha to listen to only their favorites.The top seven in the combined scoring and also get included in our Songs of the Day playlist on Spotify. Honorable Mentions are songs that also get votes, but don’t quite make the songs of the day.
If you would like to keep up to date on our weekly recommendations without having to look for each week’s new playlists, we have a couple for you to subscribe to. The Curator Picks: ReFresh playlist will be reloaded with our selections as soon as we finish voting. If you’re too impatient for that, or just like to explore on your own, the Fresh Cuts: ReFresh list is the one for you. The Fresh Cuts list is our selection of 60+ tracks from new EPs and LPs on Spotify that we review to pick our favorites. You can also keep track of the songs of the day for the whole year here, or revisit our picks from 2015 and 2014.
