Golden Age is up higher than I expected. You warming to the album more than when I last spoke to ya?
Love Passion Pit too- there’s not a bad track on that EP.

It’s an oldie but I think tvotr’s “Dry Drunk Emporer” is the best thing they’ve done. It reminds me of the best of Dylan e.g. “A Hard Rain”. To me, that’s one of the finest songs thats ever been written. Lyrically, I mean.
Still free @

I can’t believe you put “Bags of Glue” in there. It’s a fantastic song, but now it’s going to be back in my head and ruin my Christmas.
Other than that, it’s a grand auld list.

Some great stuff there, some stuff I’ve overlooked like Ladyhawke who is amazing and Foals continue to astound.

I liked a lot of the songs that you liked! Tons of them!
Even your number one! You should add:
“American Boy” – Estelle feat. Kanye West
“Dance Wiv Me” – Dizzee Rascal feat. Chrome and Calvin Harris
“Water Curses” – Animal Collective
And many more, hahaha.
Also, I liked a lot of remixes of that songs. Y made a short list of my favorite remixes, so check it in my blog.
