New Music Friday: 7/12/24
Beware, for I am New Music, and therefore Friday
Here are the rules: I listen to all 100 tracks of Spotify's New Music Friday playlist, except for anything that rhymes the n-word with itself more than three times, any screamo or screamo-adjacent stuff, any CCM that reveals its true intentions in time for me to hit the skip button, and any egregiously corny modern country music, typically performed by a dude with two first names. Having sifted through this week's playlist, here's what I actively enjoyed:
"Tears for Fun," Griff
Uproxx has described this track as "rave-ready," which leads me to believe that raves have changed a lot since my then-sober ass was being dragged to them in the '90s. I don't remember hearing anything this catchy and/or nakedly emotional while I was counting the hours until dawn and watching people twirl glowsticks. My loss, I guess.
