koganbotI'm a hem an' a haw, an uncommitted maw, just sittin' on my borderline, wastin' time.
Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent "Crack A Bottle": Catchy enough for a tick, but depressing anyway in its lack of imagination. I wrote about this already on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
poptimists and I'm not inspired to write more. BORDERLINE TICK.
Dierks Bentley "Feel That Fire": I like this guy's get-out-of-town cheerfulness, but it's missing a lot of its light and cheer this time. Forced motion. Not bad, but I don't get why this is the first non-Taylor country track to cross Top 40 in two months. BORDERLINE NONTICK.
The-Dream "Rockin' That Thang": Slow mush, and enticing wiggles down in the beatbox, but with vocals that sit placidly rather than dreamily. Once again, sex is boring. NONTICK.
