It makes perfect sense that installment 45 of the increasingly impressive Doomed Babe Series<\/em> is a double A-side single, doesn\u2019t it? In hindsight, installment 33 not<\/em> being a full-length record<\/a> almost feels like a missed opportunity for Friends of Cesar Romero\u2014but I digress.<\/p>\n

J Waylon is in top form on this one. At this point, we all know he can flip between garage rock, power pop, and punk rock with ease, often blending the styles on a single release. But if you\u2019re into FOCR at their sweetest and poppiest, this is the one. Can\u2019t Get You<\/em> flirts with bubblegum pop punk territory\u2014it\u2019s that irresistibly catchy. Do we need more songs about not being able to shake someone from your mind? If they\u2019re as good as this one, then yes. Yes, we do!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s backed by the equally hook-filled Busy Signals<\/em>, with a killer chorus and amazing lines like: \u201cTry my number \/\/ When it\u2019s summer \/\/ Run your fingers through my heart strings.\u201d Proof that J Waylon\u2019s well of heartbreak-pop inspiration isn\u2019t running dry anytime soon.<\/p>\n

The only thing that would make this better? Press it on an actual 45!<\/p>\n
