Thinking of you and record reviews!

All records are listened to one time completely through by me. Reviews are my first impression and could change with more listens but probably won’t. 0 Classic Big Wheels – Horrible!

He had hundreds of FB friends and most of them were posting on his wall. I noticed that there were a few different kinds of postings.

Records are streamed one time over the lonely Internets on Spinner.com. Reviews are a first impression and could possibly change with multiple listens but who am I kidding? No one cares anyways. Yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah…0 to 5 scale just like everyone else but different. 0 pink paisley Telecasters – This record is sad. Just like the World would be blah, blah, blah… 1 pink paisley Telecasters – One is okay but not worth blah, blah, blah… 2 pink paisley Telecasters – Not much new here. Two are better than one but blah. 3 pink paisley Telecasters – The record is worth your time but probably won’t blah, blah, blah, blah. 4 pink paisley Telecasters – This is getting so good that it might even be too blah, blah. 5 pink paisley Telecasters – YES!!! (blah.) Girls “Broken Dreams Club” 3.5 pink paisley Telecasters. Good stuff Petey. I had to Wiki Girls: Girls is an indie rock band from San Francisco, California.
