THE OFF-NOTE PROJECT 2016: Songs That Didn't Make The Cut…

Friday, 06 January 2017
Yes, you're not in the wrong place. And no, it's not me trying to re-brand anything. Perhaps, it's the perfect way to explain these fallen tunes...

Hey, and welcome to that promised post. Every year I give so many songs, but there will be that many songs that I don't. Reasons are unlikely justified, but it gives me reason to explain to you what songs I would give and what I wouldn't, with or without restrains of any kind. Still, whether giving it or not that's how it works, and I think it's just as important to share it with you.

Also, I noticed the importance of some of the songs being reinstated to their decision state, and into the final list. Thus, 2.99 stars is no longer an adequate measure of what is to come. So, with a new title, let's talk about some of them.

(This time I will talk about prominent ones that I decide not to give, and how much it has impacted on my life ie. obstinate enough such that it wants to get back on my list but didn't lol. Those that did get back are not in this list fyi)

[In preview chronological order]
Single: Right Now
Artist: ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Single: BANG!BANG!BANG!

(Yeah, the second one got stuck in my head for way too long, so much so I had thoughts of extending the song count even after I started calculating results and giving awards)

Album: OH! MY MISTAKES!
Artist: Tsuji Shion

And then I realised this took a lot more time for me to do up and it looked more confusing than last year. Also, if you prefer to use the search function on your browser start with artists first it'll give you a better chance. Then again, why would you? All these are trash. Go listen to the new songs this year. Or the best from last year. Now let me go sleep, please. This post is tedious to do, seriously.

P.S. Once again, sorry to all the artists and their songs mentioned here, especially if you wrote them. Unfortunately this is the only dark side to Klassic Note, and it's a necessary evil.
