wheatsquares33's 2020 Q1 Rankdown (revealing)

[wheatsquares33]

I'm bored, guess I'll make an RD. I've been in the mood to do one lately (since my anime rankdown never got many lists, still do wanna do that though, even though the deadline is 3 months over at this point if I ever get enough lists I'll still do it), and I like American Idiot 's quarter one rankdown idea, so I wanna do the same thing. Gives me a chance to show off some songs that I didn't chart too high on my personal chart or are too "big" for me to want to submit in a madness tournament. Just pulled together a brief 2 hour playlist of 30 songs from this year that I've been enjoying. It's moderately diverse, mostly rockers but there's some outliers for sure. Just dm me your ranked list before June 5 if you're interested.

Wait, I wasn't tagged for this. I'll try to get a list in later this week.

[wheatsquares33]

Oh fuck due date was today. Alright y'all I'm gonna extend this a week. Work has been absolutely killing me lately (long story short, my department was already criminally understaffed when we started, guy quit about a month ago, the only other guy in my department got fired for some reason this past week, I'm the only person doing my job and have had like one day off in the past month and don't know when my next one will be and I think I'm just gonna self-immolate one of these days, but I digress, not an excuse, just wanted to rant), so I haven't been thinking about this too much lately. 

So I just completely forgot I had set the deadline for today honestly, but thank you born for getting your list in on time anyway! Up to 6 lists! So very close to the goal. I'll do my very best to check in here every day for reminders, though I am generally shit at that. Sorry for such short notice, but thanks to all of you who have sent lists so far. So new deadline is June 12 and I'm sticking to it!

Why did I say 3 days left on the 7th, am I okay. Okay I have this due today, have received Geometrical 's list, which brings this up to 8, not too bad. If you do want to submit for this still though, let me know, I'm not starting reveals until like...Sunday probably anyway, I only just got home right now and am exhausted and I know I'll be out late tomorrow too, so I guess there's still a couple days left, I'm just not gonna like *extend* the deadline beyond that

Author's note: I'm not TOO surprised this finished in last, this brand of kinda funky nu-metal isn't usually my cup of tea either, but In Search of Suns definitely have some catchy hooks in them. This is a banger, I've kept it in my regular rotation for months now. I didn't really care for their most recent full length album (though Motherfunk is pretty solid), so hopefully their next project is a bit more consistent, I think this is a good start.

Editor's notes: Like yeah I get it, a kind of odd reworking of a Rascal Flatts song does feel a little...unsubstantial. But this song just really clicks with me. RMR is a hell of a singer though, and this song is just so pretty, I've come back to it a ton. Now if you want to hear something by this guy that is wholly original, Dealer is a great pick.

Notes: Like, I'm trying to do some research on this artist and uh it's hard? This song is so baffling to me, this the only song on the artist page and I can't really find anything about them on the internet either (google redirects me to the artist called NamaeWaMadaNai, but that also doesn't really help, a further google search only leads me to Attack on Titan porn for some reason, this is a fun rabbit hole actually). Anyway. This song is a mystery to me, for all I know it could be one of those Spotify playlist filler tracks. Buuuut like, there's just something about indecipherable breathy rapping over cheesy synth lines that I really like. It's almost nostalgic for some reason, maybe cause this synth tone reminds me of classic Animal Crossing.

I'm going to take a shower: Glowbug's blend of like indie rock and electronic rock and post-hardcore has always stood out to me, almost submitted Live from Hell for the 4-ball rock madness. Haven't listened to their full new album yet but the singles have been cool
