Song of the Day #11, 12, 13

Sloppy, fuzzy and a little bit scuzzy.  Once in a while you have to let that summer breeze blow on by and go full in with a thunderstorm or two.  That's what Chicago's late Spring, early Summer has been.  I'm going to follow that trend and diverge from the summery pop tunes and recommend a few songs that might be considered a little dirtier.

Wavves - "Post Acid"

I'm pretty sure that "post acid" isn't being used as a metaphor, so let's put this in the fuzzy category.

Black Lips - "Before You Judge Me"

This definitely sounds sloppy, in a good way.  I've seen these guys live and they play that way too.

Gauntlet Hair - "I was Thinking"
download it here , just scroll down a bit to the best songs of '10 so far, it's #3.
Scuzzy.  I'm not sure why, maybe it's the reverb guitars mixed with that stupid metal sounding band name.  The hook is the guitar riff that runs though the song, pretty cool.  It took me a couple listens to get it so don't give up on it after one listen.
