Bill Wurtz in tier list I first listened to all of Bill Wurtz’s stuff about a year and a half ago. If I’d counted him as an official listen then, he would’ve been my 256th artist, between 255: Sam Dew (B-) and the 256: Eagles (B). I’ve listened to him for even longer than that, though,Continue reading “349: Bill Wurtz (C)”

348: Jamie Miller (B-)
Jamie Miller in tier list I first listened through all of Jamie Miller’s stuff (little as there is) almost exactly three years ago, at the behest of a girl, but he didn’t have a full studio album released at the time so I didn’t count it as an official listen and I didn’t make anyContinue reading “348: Jamie Miller (B-)”
347: LAUNDRY DAY (B-)
LAUNDRY DAY in tier list I’ve tagged this in my internal records as “distinct_phases,” by which I mean that the band has, well, distinct phases. It’s consistent, but only within its distinct phases. I think it’s pretty good in its good phase, but I got tired of its bad phase. Y’know? It’s a little trickyContinue reading “347: LAUNDRY DAY (B-)”
346: Gus Dapperton (A-)
Gus Dapperton in tier list I first heard Gus Dapperton as an opener to 68: Still Woozy (S-) when I went to see him live a bit over a year ago. I remember getting into it and being surprised by how much I liked it right off the bat, which was only emphasized when the StillContinue reading “346: Gus Dapperton (A-)”
345: Dev Lemons (B)
Dev Lemons in tier list I first saw Dev Lemons as an opener to a 24: half•alive (A+→S-→S)concert about three years ago. 341: Tessa Violet (B-) opened for the same concert, and the next few artists I have queued up to listen to are also all ones that I encountered as openers I’ve enjoyed. I’ve putContinue reading “345: Dev Lemons (B)”
344: BoyWithUke (B)
BoyWithUke in tier list I debated with myself a little over whether I should log this as BoyWithUke or as Chandol. I settled on BoyWithUke because that’s the name all his stuff up to this point is under, but I could see myself changing it later. Probably if I did that I’d just put itContinue reading “344: BoyWithUke (B)”
343: Flipturn (A+)
Flipturn in tier list I was fully hooked by my first day of listening, just from their first EP, Heavy Colors, and I only liked them more after that. I listened to all of their songs at least four times, I think, and many of them I listened to even more. As it turns out,Continue reading “343: Flipturn (A+)”
342: Hot Freaks (A-)
Hot Freaks in tier list I think I felt largely indifferent until “Pull.” That one hooked me pretty well, and after that I was much more inclined to listen closely, and do more than just my minimum two listens. I like it, it’s fun. To be totally honest, I feel like it starts scratching anContinue reading “342: Hot Freaks (A-)”
341: Tessa Violet (B-)
Tessa Violet in tier list I know my impression of seeing her live in concert as an opener is years old now, but I remembered liking her way more. Her energy, and even just the sound of her voice. Listening to her now I still think she’s alright, but she feels so much more flatContinue reading “341: Tessa Violet (B-)”
340: twenty one pilots (A-)
twenty one pilots in tier list This is a funny band for me, a little. I had some feelings about them before going into it, and those feelings didn’t really come from the music at all. In my head, twenty one pilots are kinda the quintessential middle school band. I have a core memory ofContinue reading “340: twenty one pilots (A-)”
