Joel Frieders

Joel Frieders woke up three salmon streams by merely emitting a low frequency squelch out of his thyroid. We hope he continues with such impressive feats of science, because he for sure needs help in the tattoos of fruits in precarious situations category. Rob Campobasso for Athlete of the Month. If cream of tartar isn't actually creamy, then why the hell am I so meteor showered? Is it any wonder. IS IT ANY WONDAAAA!

One Song: Dustin Kensrue - Wrecking Ball (Miley Cyrus Cover)

Joel Frieders | March 16, 2016
I don't know who Dustin Kensrue is. I don't know how to pronounce his name. I don't know what dude's deal is.  But this is some shit. I've always been on guard because of the fact that I love me some Miley, hawrd. No seriously, some ...

F Virtue - Saturday Night Dead

Joel Frieders | March 15, 2016
I fucking love how everything F. Virtue does seems genuine as fuck.  On "Saturday Night Dead" his perfectly layered vocals stumble through a personal narrative overflowing with self-awareness and self-depreciation, with just a splash...

Lukulele Slim - The Universe Doesn't Care (That's Okay)

Joel Frieders | March 14, 2016
I watched this on the toilet the first time through. The acoustics were perfect for some ukulele. (Please note, I did not make a joke about the perfect acpoosticks or how great the pookulele sounds.) Lukulele Slim is the dude Lucas Dix from...

One Song: Andy Shauf - The Magician

Joel Frieders | March 14, 2016
I hit play on this and walked away, came back about three minutes in and turned it off. Then I spent the next 15 minutes thinking about the song until I audibly "do do doo, do do doo doot diddah doo"'d and told myself to go back through my internet history...

Atlantic Shore - The Comedown

Joel Frieders | March 10, 2016
I listened to this video three times and it kind of hits me in that Matthew Sweet 100% Fun sort of way where it's intentionally sweet, but you're positive there's something morose under it all. Atlantic Shore don't sound like a band I would...

Men I Trust - Humming Man

Joel Frieders | March 8, 2016
Do I like this? I've sent this video to more than three trusted friends and no one responded to me. I got two "ugh"s and a "Send this to Javi", but no one said they didn't like it.  What the fuck is up with Men I Trust? Why can't I decide if...

One Song: P.O.S. - sleepdrone​/​superposition

Joel Frieders | March 7, 2016
Allow me to fanboy out a second right quick. NEW P.O.S.????? BROLY SHIT BRO, I FUCKING NEEDED SOMETHING TO ESCORT MY FISTS INTO THE FUCKING AIR LIKE I NEEDED THE SNOW TO FUCKING MELT AND A NICE STEADY RAIN RINSE OFF ALL THE BULLSHIT MEMORIES...

Gibberish - RudeDude

Joel Frieders | March 4, 2016
True story: I have a backlog of over a thousand unread SYFFAL music submissions. On weekends when the kids aren't killing each other I take a few hours and go through them. I go all the way to the end of my backlog and work my way forward in one tab and start...

One Song: Howard - Plastic

Joel Frieders | March 2, 2016
This fucking band, Howard, is on some tickle the grundle shit.  I wrote about their last single "Glass" a few weeks ago (see below) and I was smitten with the crickety blippety smack smack, and I thought I understood what was...

Soundcloud

One Song: Avec Sans - Heartbreak Hi

Joel Frieders | March 1, 2016
A couple years ago I had a pair of Avec Sans tracks on my manpod that would pop up at just the worst fucking times. I would be knuckle deep in pounding out turkey burgers, or just stepped into the shower to wash off the sin, or I'dve just...
