Exuma – African Rhythm: 7
Very eccentric, maybe too much so to be great, but it still comes out as likable.

881. Exuma | "African Rhythm": 8/10
I could see this grow to a 9. It's pretty magnificent.

879. Jocelyn Pook – Masked Ball - 4
I should probably see the movie. Contextless it was just okay.
880. The Spiders – Love’s All I’m Puttin’ Down - 7
Had a pretty good time with this track, keen to look into more stuff from these guys
881. Exuma – African Rhythm - 6
Too formless to really enjoy it but I always appreciate Exuma for doing what he does.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - June 2021
The Spiders - Love's All I'm Putting on 5
Exuma - African Rhythm 7
Secos & Molhados - Sangue latino 8 When I listened to the album last year on Spotify, a few of the tracks were plagued by skips as if the original vinyl/CD had been scratched. This must have been one of the affected songs because I would've rated this highly for its bassline alone, those lilting guitars in either channel seal the deal.

Pleasant, but like with a surprising amount of Brazilian music I once again fail to see what the big deal is about. Maybe I will one day.

Although an 'oldie' in probably most people's ears, this is actually a bit different than other Hymie's that appeared here. More seventies, with it's southern rock groove. Pretty cool track.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - June 2021
Southern rock???? They're from Detroit!
They were a white soul band recording for a black owned label. The record was top 15 on the Billboard Soul chart. And it reached #6 on the Cash Box Soul chart.

I seem to like ELO songs very easily. The strings are particularly great here.

887. They Might Be Giants – Careful What You Pack - 9.5 - would have bet money on this being from my list, but nope! It does, however, feature in my top 1000 submission for this year's poll, ranked 965

I'm still not exactly enthusiastic, but since the last two appearances by They Might Be Giants were low point for me in Biggest Fan, this is an upgrade. Otherwise, mostly a forgettable song.

Sort of Prince light, but it is okay. I'm not too hot on the eighties production, though.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - June 2021
It’s almost two years ago since we last heard from Tommy Petty on Biggest Fan. For his second appearance he brings along the Heartbreakers. It also marks the return of Zombeels, who used to deliver many songs to this game, but seems to have been ignored by the Randomizer as of late.
889. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – All the Wrong Reasons
Year: 1991
Album: Into the Great Wide Open
