Rather than contain my “Risers and Fallers” feature to a single post in June, I’m going to share a bite-sized version at the end of each month. This will let me account for more songs and make a nice lead-in to the monthly round-up post.
I anticipate most of these ratings adjustments will be negligible: a 0.5 shift here, a 0.25 shift there. But, it’s a fun way to keep track of how my feelings on songs have changed over time – as well as which tracks currently have momentum on my playlist.
And remember, just because a song is marked as a “faller” doesn’t mean I hate it! Falling from a “9” to an “8.75” is no shame. 9+ rated songs occupy a totally different playlist in my music library, so I’m pretty particular about what qualifies. It’s a high bar.
This month’s feature covers the period from August 22nd to September 19th.

I haven’t listened to that much new music this month. But I liked:
Key – Good and Great, CoolAs
Cravity – MEGAPHONE, Vibration

And that’s kinda it. Been working on something.

I have really warmed up to Get a Guitar! At first I thought it was pleasant but unmemorable but it’s totally wormed its way into my head. Serving Radio Disney realness and I love it

Get A Guitar, Good and Great, Back For More and Baggy Jeans grew for me, while literally EVERYTHING else fell. Quite a sad month, especially after the last one.
