Garrett's Squat Tunes Reviews #1: Donda

Garrett's dream in life is to become a music critic so with this new reoccurring series of posts I will allow that dream to come true. Garrett's Squat Tunes Reviews will consist of his full review of an album, his favorite and least favorite track, and a final Squat Score to see if it's a full rep at 12 squats or not worth squat at 0. Earlier I texted him to review this album because it was new and I wasn't sure what it was and asked him all the required questions that needed to be answered for this to be a true Garrett's Squat Tunes Review so I'll be copy and pasting his texts verbatim. So here's his first entry: the tenth album by Mr. Kanye West titled Donda.

The Review

"Kanye is finally rapping again. I thought the album was his best in like a decade. Almost no skips on a two hour long album. Might be rap album of the year."

Very little to be said about the album despite it being a rap album of the year contender in his opinion. Let's see what his favorite and least favorite tracks are and perhaps we'll get more insight on Donda.

Favorite Track

""God breathed" was my favorite track because the instrumental was cool a fuck."

Many hours later...

" I lied. Off the grid is my Favorite track because Kanye raps his ASS off on it. It's a return to form from like 2010 Kanye. And the instrumental has these awesome synth parts on it."

Least Favorite Track

"I wasn't as big on "no child left beind""

Squat Score

"Oh damn out of 12 I'd say 10. 10 out of 12 squats"

Well there it is the first installment of Garrett's Squat Tunes Reviews. Looks like we have ourselves a winner with Donda. So I guess buy it or whatever. What will Garrett review next? Squat ya later...

The Devin Tour Diary 2023

I spent the majority of the month of November on tour playing bass with Tourneforte. I had a great time and I’m going to recap it to the best of my ability on here. In true Windleyhub fashion, I am not proofreading this. Day One: Camp Transylvania, Greenville SC We kicked off the tour in Greenville SC at the third annual Camp Transylvania. This was the third and final day of the fest. We played right after our friends in the North Carolina band Condado, who are super tight and entertaining. We took the stage at 5PM. I usually remember to take my hat and glasses off when I perform since I move around a lot. I forgot to on this occasion, and my glasses flew off my face onto the stage where I at some point stepped on them. After the set, I helped load out gear and had Andrew pick me up to meet with our good friends Justin and Meleah at a Halloween party their friends were having. We got to meet some cool people all in various degrees of corpsepaint, including the legendar...

Top 50 Greatest Things: #30

My top 50 greatest things Number 30: Mike Mignola Mike Mignola is also a comic book creator most known for his work on the Hellboy series. Mignola, like Frank Miller, implements shadows and exaggerated angles in his minimalistic line work. He mainly explores horror mythology and blends that with noir and sci-fi elements. One of my favorite things he does is include aspect to aspect transitions inspired by eastern sequential art that focuses on the environment his characters are in, helping the reading really immerse themselves into the story. Hellboy and the surrounding B.P.R.D. universe is my favorite of his works (particularly the story The Corpse) but I have to shout out his Legends of the Dark Knight story Sanctum and his work on Gotham by Gaslight.

Top 50 Greatest Things: #49

My top 50 greatest things Number 49: PS1 (just the look) This pick is mainly concerned with the look of the first iteration of the Playstation. I just like it a lot. Great shape and color and the colors in the logo really pop. Ken Kutaragi is responsible for the development of the console and Manabu Sakamoto did the logo and apparently actual design of the console. I mean it's probably my favorite console even if it's just based on how cool it looks. Most of my favorite games can be played on it. The controllers are pretty sweet too. Maybe not as sexy as the PS2 ones, but you hand me the ones without the analog stick, boy howdy. I was really tempted to buy an anniversary pack at Target that had some goodies that surrounded the console, but I didn't go for it. Someone got me a grey shirt with the logo on it just because of how much I love the look of this thing.
