She Dates For A While
Beta Satan "666" - Beta Satan is the new incarnation of the Danish pop band Tiger Tunes, who have been featured here at least three times before. There are a few differences in terms of personnel, but the most significant change is that they've married their quirky pop sensibility to hard-driving, super-dynamic rock, resulting in catchy tunes that often match the gut-punching intensity of the late, great McLusky. "666," the band's most brilliant track to date, pairs lyrics expressing severe yet trivial anxiety about a girl to a ruthless mechanical stomp that is simultaneously violent, visceral, exhilarating, and hilarious. I can't help but imagine that there's at least a couple million people out there who would absolutely LOVE this song -- seriously, just trying listening to that depth-charge beat without picturing a mob of maniacs moshing in a muddy field -- so if you like this one, I strongly encourage you to pass it around.
