Friday Special: So Excited - B.B King

So Excited - B.B King - Completely Well

This song really does make me So Excited. I feel bad whenever I write short reviews like these, but I really cant even begin to describe everything that I love about this song, probably because I love everything about it. From its key's to drums to B.B. King himself this is a truly amazing song.

Song of the Week: Here Comes Sickness

Here Comes Sickness - Mudhoney - Mudhoney

While it's hard for me to deem this a great "grunge" song because I'm hardly familiar with the genre, its harder for me to deny that this encompasses everything I associate with grunge (right or wrong). Its tone is freewheeling, out of control, fun, and dirty. It's lyrical content is perfectly in sync with its tone, it's funny, angry and definitely a little bit angsty (Shaking her hips//Like she's some kind of treat) As far as musicianship the band has excellent drumming, but is best suited to do what they do, craft simple dirty hooks with frank lyrics. The vocals themselves are pretty rough on the edges and verging on screaming, but is nothing that annoys my ears. I think that like the lyrics and the tone it all works together and is very much aligned, nothing sticks out as different, and I love that it can be so simply "grunge" for me.
