Swap.



The 'classic' swap.


# 4


I gave Tim: Daft Punk 'Homework'

He, in turn, gave me: Fat Freddy's Drop - 
'Based On A True Story'

Unfortunately it was bound to happen. 

Didn't really like this too much at at all. 
Inoffensive and pleasant at times but not my cup of tea.

The best: 
The first track built up nicely on a chirpy piano riff. Some decent bass lines throughout and a couple of tunes that made me turn up the volume. Some decent drifty guitar strum alongs but that's about all I can muster.

The worst: 
It just went nowhere. 
A bit bland and directionless. 
Ambitious and musical but they don't seem to focus on anything for more that a few moments. 
The term that keeps coming into my mind is barbecue music. I could imagine it playing it in a garden somewhere just drifting along in a diet cod reggae fashion. 

I'm guessing that this would bring back happy memories of a time and place. 
We all have treasured albums like that.

Sorry Tim; I did give it a good go. (Pia loves it though).

A generous 5 out of 10. 

I'll give it another spin when surrounded by sausages and lager.
