Best Of (2014)
2nd Quarter
Shut up.
I know we are two weeks late for the unveiling of our 'Best of Q2' lists, but we have been going through big changes here are Syffal: we had to transition the site to another server and our fearless leader, Tammy Baker, has gone into retirement....until he realizes he misses us too much and comes back. BUT right now he is enjoying short walks on his lunch break to prevent the inflammation in his hips from acting up.
The rest of the staff are all well and good though:
- Joel gave the Governor of Illinois a stink palm on behalf of the Bee-keepers lobby.
- Brando has been hugging trees in Yosemite and trying to attract Black Tailed Deer to his anus with peanut butter.
- Del is Delling, hence why his list iis missing.
- Johnny is enjoying the 'Summer Of Johnny' and wakes up with Summer Shandy hangovers 5 days a week.
- Emp only got booted of Twitter 3 times this quarter....a new record.
- And Tom has increased his pleated slacks collection while vibing to the sounds of Sirius XM's coffee shop
Without further adieu, here are our favorite albums of 2014's second quarter....
Brandon Backhaus
Copper Gone
This one crept up on me like a six-pack of Mike's Hard Lemonades after my initial wobbly impression.
DOLOTAPE
Excluding the god Mike Eagle, no song got bumped more in my car than "RETURN THE FIRE".
Johnny Symmes
Self Titled
These guys nailed it with their official debut. Loving on it hard
Dark Comedy
I hope this is the future of hip hop. I believe it is.
Employee
Dark Comedy
Eric Benet ain't shit and Open Mike Eagle is eating up Culture Vultures like "Food Chain" Finn the Bird.
Sands
This triumvirate of trenchant trumpets trounces trends and toys in ten, tight tracks.
Huge Moves
The trinity that's stuck in my gut for the past annum emerge again to sad-up Summertime.
Joel Frieders
Lighght
This album is sunshine and fluffer nutter sammiches, HAHAHA part 1 and 2 is the best shit ever ever ever.
Self Titled
Seriously, it was nice knowing these fuckers before they went all Bollywood. We will never see them again they're so balls awesomes.
I Have No Arms And No Legs
This album came at the best and worst time. It reminded me of when Tim and I first started SYFFAL, right before he left.
Tom Doz
Self Titled
Do I really need to say anything more about PHOX? My hand is tired from writing about them...I'm just going to let my earz enjoy the epicness of this album.
Lighght
This dude just sweats talent. K wipes off more talent in a single swipe of his brow than we secrete in a lifetime.
In Cold Blood
I was so fucking hot on this album when it dropped....and although I've come back down to Earf these last couple if weeks, 'In Cold Blood' is still ballz solid.
