Singled Out

Well, here are my favorite songs so far this year (those that I can recall).

I realize that some are actually rollovers from last year, but I can't always be privy to the curve.

HERE!





Beck - "Inferno" - Odelay (Deluxe Remastered)
- on the 10th anniversary edition of Odelay's release (really it's close to 12 yrs now....), Beck burns up the dancefloor!

Vampire Weekend - "A-Punk" - (S/T)
- I think we know how I feel about this....

The Black Hollies - "Paisley Pattern Ground" - Casting Shadows
- way cooler than the white hollies ("always bet on black" - Passenger 57)

Tapes 'n Tapes - "Hang Them All" - Walk It Off
- Can't wait!

The Last Shadow Puppets - "Age of Understatement"
- Arctic Monkey's Alex Turner and the Rascals' Miles Kane combine forces for domination

The LK (aka the lovekevins...who knows?) - "Stop Being Perfect"
- like I don't love all Swedes

Jamie Lidell - "Figured Me Out"
- one hip whitey

M (Mike) Doughty - "27 Jennifers"
- former Soul Coughing fronter and I both went to school with 27 jennifers....oh wait i went to school with dudes...

Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin - "Glue Girls"
- SOOO much cooler than Vladamir Putin (and the new guy who was Vladi's puppet)

Jack Panate - "Secon, Minute, or Hour"
-fun, fast paced pop rock

What Made Milwaukee Famous - "Resistance St."
- radiohead combined with tapes n tapes....nice

The Bell - "I am History"
- driving, straight ahead depeche rock

White Denim - "Paint Silver Gold"
- white boys in white pants that think they're the Hendrix Experience

Kelly Stoltz - "Your Reverie"
- kelly has put away the piano for this retro rocker

Mountain Goats - "Sax Rohmer #1"
- good but still maybe too much whining

Frightened Rabbit - "Head Rolls Off" or "The Modern Leper"
- is that Snow Patrol? nope...there just Glaswegians

Headlights - "Cherry Tulips"
- folks, poppy girly stuff - i love it!

The Helio Sequence - "Keep Your Eyes Ahead"
- the NW duo are back un autre fois

The Boy Least Likely To - "I Box Up all the Butterflies"
- more music that sounds like it is for kindergartners - but I love little kid music

Plants and Animals - "Bye Bye Bye"
- if Queen was Canadienne....(I spell it that way to de-masculate canada)

The Selmainaires - "Nite Beat"
- The Atlanta/Southern version of the Rapture w/ some Heads and Wire

and of course, the rest of

Vampire Weekend - the whole album and more

that is all I can think as I pound away the keys at school (pt canceled.....)
