Ok so yeah I love the format of the album. One long group of songs with theme and common interests. But then there are some songs that just pop more then anything else.
10.Tv on the Radio- Lover's Day It's about sex. A whole day of sex. Get everyone in the world together and just get biblical with each other. What makes this song so great is that I know Tv hates the America we live in. They hat the way we treat our fellow man. They hate how dumb people don't care about how dumb they are. They hate that Britany Spears, Rhianna and Beyonce are making millions and they have day jobs. And what do they end their album with. A love son to the world about hope and glory and fucking so hard you break the bed and have the neighbors call the cops. Call it Lover's day.Yes of course there are miracles under our sighs and moans. I'm gonna take you home.....beautiful.
9. Q-tip -Life is Better Yeah Qtp put out a record this year. Your lame for not knowing that. And yeah I'm lame for liking the song with Nora Jones on it the best of the new q tip album. But really why fault norah. I actually really wanna meet that girl. She does good stuff, maybe a little to coffee house but she always puts harder in it. But q-tip just flows for like 2 minutes straight in this song and it's a reminder of how shitty mainstream hip hop is. It's turned into what pop country is...a mockery of what the art form used to be. Thanks Abstract, you brought the heart this year.
8. Erykah Badu- The Cell Ok so Q tip and Erykah revived smooth 90's hip hop this year and both put out their best albums. So yeah I know you didn't know that...it's cool i'm here to help.The cell is just a shake down. It's kind of like the song you throw on at a party while your looking for something better, but then realise how great a groove it's got. You look up and the entire party is just freaking on the carpet. It's that smooth.
7. Hercules and ove affair- Blind Antony's voice is so a world in it's own. The Antony and the Jonson records are so full of sorrow and ache.Who knew that he could turn it into such a sexy cross dressing diva howl. Blind makes 90 year old women break their hips. That beat is so solid and Antony just is magnificent. Yeah by the way that's a guy if you didn't know, he's like 6'11'' .I didn't go into many gay clubs this year....Shadows just had better tunes sorry Grid....but everytime I did Blind would play. Everyone would look conused and Erica always asked me what the hell this was. It's disco baby, leave your shame at the door.
6. The submarines- you me and the bourgeises. Yeah this song is in an Ipod commercial. Yeah I heard it and then went and imediately downloaded this album. Yeah I get it I'm a sell out. But I also get to stomp along to this corny little pop gem and you don't so really who is the loser here.
5. Lil Wayne- LA LA (carter 3 mixtape version aka the real one) It's a poppy beat, a high pitched chorus and lines about being a teenager and hoping that the crack your carrying in your mouth won't pop and ruin your day. This is a 3:30 of Weezy history. From birth to the present. He never faults here and really never stops accept to catch his breath. Weezy is the best rapper alive and god I hope he plays this song live.
4. The Decemberists- Valerie Plaime Colin Melory is a cheeky bastard. I hear he's a total self centered ass. But yeah he's smart so let him be. This is a love song about Valerie plaime the Bush administrations outed spy. It's fun and dissolves into a ...well ok it turns into a beatles song and its fucking hillarious. Hey we have the government of doom destroying our bravest men and womens lives....let's write a pop song about it.
3. Fucked Up- Son the Father Ok this is a song that starts out with about a minute and a half twirly little flute solo, turns to a heavy metal live show opening then evolves imediately to a post punk fist punching song. I like to listen to post harcore when I fall asleep, the total chaos and unfiltered emotional violence tends to put me to sleep.I don't know why. But anyway this song is a poerfect begining to a crazy mess of an album....mess is good
2. Portisehead- magic doors/threads These songs flow into each other. The last note of threads actually just reverberates in the backround through out all of threads. Great albums are made out of great songs. Duh. But these songs have to messh and carry the same themes and feelings. magic doors/threads is a great end to the best record of the year and the best comeback ever. Just god i get shivers, beth gibbons takes you so deep into her ether soaked brain and she just is so nonchalant about it. Like it's so effortless for her to pour that voice of hers out.She really is not human.And from the 4 minute mark of threads on you get the best music of the year.
1. M83 Kim+ Jessie Yeah this is soaked in cheesy 80's movie popcorn glitz. Yeah there are synths to the point of gaging. Yeah it's a corny love song. Yeah it's just the best thing this year. You have no heart and no appreciation for music if you can't just let yourself fall for this little tune. It's so sweet. like 4 year old kids calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend cute. This is the darling of the year for me and it should be yours to.
ok I ended on a low note. but i'm tired and being urged to go to bed. So yeah goodnight.

hey brother-- sorry i didnt get back to you about your text: hope things are going alright.
Your list: only heard one of the songs on it, so i guess i have a lot of downloading to do. will post mine later this week-- i love that after listening to probably the most music i have ever heard in one year, i am still hearing awesome new stuff, although in this case i will probably only love half of your list. anyways, keep an eye out for mine-- ill put a streaming playlist up so you can actually hear the songs if you dont know them- which you probably do. you freak.
