as a follow up to our top ten albums of year, this show is all about our favourite songs. pretty ambitious, i guess - but rewarding. when you listen to (or saturate yrself) with as much music as we do (both in effort to find stuff for guitar media and our own, obsessive, selves) it's really something when one song out of the thousands actually sticks out won't quit til you've listened at least 50 times...

Mint Chicks - Fuck the Golden Youth (2005?)
Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day
The Mountain Goats - This Year

Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl
Yes, Gwen Stefani is serious and yes, there're only 9 songs there. i'm doing that annoying thing where you save room for one more in case I missed something. Ha!
Hey, feel no shame!
Hollaback Girl is awesome!!
hehe. what about 'drop it like it's hot'. or was that 2004?
you should check out robyn - 'be mine' for some pop goodness. it landed on many a blogger's #1 singles of the year.

1. Wolf Parade – I’ll Believe In Anything
Okkervil River – For Real
Bright Eyes – Landlocked Blues
Animal Collective – Grass
Telefauna – Put Your Hands Together for the Off-Beat
Hello Saferide – Get Sick Soon

Panda Bear – Comfy In Nautica
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin – House Fire
Pluto – Broken Hearted
Sufjan Stevens – Casimir Pulaski Day
The National - Abel
Ya Rich, Drop it Like It's Hot was indeed 2004. You're as bad as the British music press!
Also, I definitely feel no shame for embracing pure pop sensibilities. I <3 Neptunes!
woah. richard! are you richard borret?
okay. yeah i was checking out yr site...and yr myspace - you know dylan taylor. well, sort of, anyway.
this is gonna be real confusing for people reading. two richards...wooo
Um, I just had a great idea for a sitcom:
Too Many Richards
Starring Richard Dean Anderson, Richard Gere and Denise Richards.
Somebody should totally pitch this.
i got dibs on richard dean anderson (of course!).
this is the real richard, btw. richard m.
does anyone else find it difficult to get the right letters on the word verification bit? i do :(
argh! well that solves the problem i guess. weird, though. too richard m's. primary school would've been tricky if we were in the same class!
