Random check of 5 songs currently heavy in my rotation:

1. Heartless Bastards - "The Mountain"
Erika Wennerstrom's voice grabs you and holds on throughout this track (and the album for that matter). The track has a monotonous tone and cadence until 2:55 in, when Erika belts it out before transitioning into a minute-and-a-half solo to finish it off. Song of the year potential IMO.

2. P.O.S. - "Purexed"
Beat seems minimalist as it builds towards the hook, where all hell breaks loose. Bass booms, crashing percussion, no even flow. Punk-hop?

3. Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears - "Get Yo Sh!t"
Spoken word until the soulful hook. Pure entertainment as well. I will let the lyrics explain why this song is ****ing hilarious...
"'Come on baby let me back in the house, you know I love you'
She said 'You don't even buy me presents'
'Yeah I did. I bought you a box of chicken, but I ate it on the way home'
She said 'You don't even know my name'
I said 'Yeah, it's Melissa'
She said 'Nah dumbass, it's Roxanne'"

4. Grizzly Bear - "About Face"
This track was overall ignored in my early listens of the album, because by the time I hit "Dory" (which makes me want to punch a wall) I typically go on a skipping spree. This song is picking up steam with me, though.

5. E-40 - "White Gurl"
White people dance to this because they are stoked to have a Black person rapping about them. Unfortunately, they don't listen too closely to the lyrics outside of the hook (White girl x infinity). This song is about cookin' up and doing Coke. What most people who casually listen to it hear: "White gurl, white gurl, white gurl..... ice cream, candy..... shines like a pearl.... Lindsay Lohan.... sun tan..... Sir Mix-A-Lot.... snow bunny?.... bust nuts in your curls white gurl". One of the most quotable lines in bay area rap: "AK'll light up your chest like E.T."
