16 August 2007 | maura dot com | No Comments
when your mother tells you it’s been a long time since you’ve updated your personal site, you know it’s been a while. (hi mom!) so i’m going to update with a list of my what-i-think-might-be my favorite 10 11 songs of the year, in no particular order except that i’m hearing the robyn song now, and just heard the lloyd song. and yeah, i think this is a rehash of a recent post, but isn’t that what blogging is all about? okay fine, this time i’ll add links and descriptions:
fleshquartet f/robyn, ‘this one’s for you (remix)’ (original here)
i’ve been crazy in love, and this is what it sounds like …
tracey thorn, ‘it’s all true’
and sometimes you have to remind yourself of why you’re feeling the way you are.
lloyd f/lil wayne, ‘you’
even if the guy has his eyes on someone else while he’s being all charming and shit to you.
amerie, ‘gotta work’
so when you’re down in the dumps, you have to bootstrap yourself out of ‘em.
fall out boy, ‘the take over, the break’s over’
or just listen to a song that reminds you of pebbles’ ‘girlfriend.’
tegan & sara, ‘back in your head’
a note to my sister: i’ll never distrust your music taste again, i promise.
violet vector & the lovely lovelies, ‘can you dig it’
it’ll turn whatever room you’re in into an ad hoc cheerleading practice.
rihanna, ’shut up and drive’
the metaphor is tired, the use of the ‘blue monday’ sample somehow isn’t.
celebration, ‘evergreen’ (omg the whole album is so great)
the best working band in america right now.
sissy wish, ‘float’
should be scoring rom-com make-it-right scenes right and left. hello, hollywood, anyone wanna take me on as a consultant?
tiffany evans, ‘girls gone wild’
it’s so amazing that someone with a song that’s anti-slutty dressing was a guest star on ‘law & order: svu.’ please tell me i’m not the only one who sees the humor in this.
