Burkina Faso (NAVA): This is pretty good despite the unsettling video. It is kinda subversive for where you expect it to go. I wouldn't listen regularly but it's decent. (B-)

Croatia (Frank Turner): This is really generic and too sugary. (C-)

Sealand (The Elms): It kinda reminds me of Jet? It's corporate-sounding rock. It's ok I just don't think it's great. (C-)

Hungary (Richard Thompson): This is insanely boring and uninteresting. (D)

Greece (Lemaitre): I'm vibing. Has a bit of a JUSTICE feel to it, but more poppy. (B)

USA (Dance Gavin Dance): I've never really understood the DGD craze. I've tried so many times. But this is the first song I've heard by them where I'm starting to get it. It's engaging. (B)

Portugal (Bleachers): My irrational hatred for Jack Antonof aside, this song annoyed the shit out of me when it was popular a few years back. But listening now, it's actually decent. (B-)

Liechtenstein (Bo En): This is very Of Montreal. A little disjointed. But I dig it? (C+)

Ecuador (NOFX): Man, someone entered NOFX. That's brave. Not quite my jam. (C)

Djibouti (Home Free): What is the appeal of this and who is it appealing to (D)

Lebanon (Shibayan Records): Oh look Weeb Shit that is 8.5 minutes long. (F)

Slovenia (Amaranthe): Okay yep this was never getting points (F)

North Korea (Miles Davis): Just who do you think you are entering Miles Davis & John Coltrane? Should be illegal. (A)

Mali (Miles Kane): Shades of 90s Oasis and Blur, with a bit of Arctic Monkeys. It's okay but not as good as any of the things its trying to emulate. (C+)

Nauru (Kid Fresino): Holy shit. (A)

Central African Republic (David Bowie): Just who do you think you are entering Bowie? Should be illegal. This one's a classic. (A)

Macedonia (Mason Jennings): Dude has a killer voice. I hate this style of music but this is well done. (B)

Bhutan (Desa): It's like the Foo Fighters but without the production quality and more generic riffs. (C)

Macau (OOHYO): I always have trouble with foreign language music because I related so much to the lyrics. This is... pleasant? (C)

For a moment I thought I was getting the same score a third time in a row. It was bittersweet when I saw the previous two scores were 37.

Congrats Caled!

Hey Miles did better than I thought. Especially at first, it seemed like people weren't really into it but then people who listened later liked it more.

I am approaching, but not quite at, the end of my list of jazz submissions.
