SONGS OF THE WEEK

Songs of the Week: Earl Sweatshirt, Kate Nash, Atoms for Peace, Juicy J, and Delayed Halloween Action

Earl Sweatshirt, "Chum"

Earl, still rapping like he'd take the time to jot notes on distinctive cornices, even if he were being chased down a suburban Maryland street by a rabid panther. Oh, and please go ahead and listen to new Mr. Sweatshirt material, but just know that your opinion doesn't really matter, because the kid from Third Rock From the Sun has already tweeted his support. (If you to click on that tweet, be aware, Looper spoilers might follow).

By Molly Lambert at

1. Shinedown, "Unity"

Nothing like a child walking through the city by herself taking pictures for her meatspace blog (a brick wall) with a camera plastered in sparkly stickers like a little Harriet the Spy. Jacksonville's Shinedown get orchestral and inspirational to mixed results.

Grade: C

Best YouTube Comment: "this video actually made me cry because it me think about the way I spent my youth just hanging out at home and watching TV and playing video games and only from time to time going outside to play with my friends … wasted years that will never come back" — TheMisteriousX

GRADING THE CHARTS

The Top 10 Songs … IN ACTIVE ROCK!

By Molly Lambert at

1. Seether, "No Resolution"

Seether are a "post-grunge" band from South Africa. "Post-grunge" just seems to mean the type of radio-friendly grunge that was everywhere in the '90s. Seether supposedly named themselves after the Veruca Salt song "Seether," which is both baffling and illuminating.
Grade: B
Best YouTube Comment: "This song makes me want to drive…Don't ask why…Speeding btw…" — HemiRam98
