Qualler 35-31
I know. It's been too long. Get over it. I know you can when you see THIS!
Damn right. Me and Chris DO play Simpsons-style Clue, and we DO rock it Blogulator-style.
35. "Something"
Sam Prekop
Who's Your New Professor
[Thrill Jockey]
"i won't let go, so you know."
Ah, Prekop, ya old codger. According to Chris, members of The Most Serene Republic intersected with Prekop and basically said "Holy crap, Prekop, you rule," and Prekop, upon all accounts, sputtered, coughed, wrinkled his brow, spit in his tobaccey cup, chewed once, and said "Who the hell are you damned kids?"
34. "Since K Got Over Me"
The Clientele
Strange Geometry
[Merge]
"but everything's so vivid and so creepy since k got over me."
Oh man, it's about time chiming guitars made a comeback that didn't have to do with Chris Martin audiocrappin' all over us. But they aren't just chiming in the sense that they're high, Peter Buck-esque notes, they got the echo thing goin' too. And the vocals are pitch-perfect. Close your eyes and listen to it, and yeah, everything is so vivid and so creepy, but in that warm, brit-pop kinda way.
33. "Oh Mandy"
The Spinto Band
Nice and Nicely Done
[Bar/None]
"show me the re-run on the WB."
MANDOLIN! And lyrics about The WB. What a combo. I don't know what else to say other than the mandolin rocks hard on this one. Falsettos rock, too.
32. "Destroy Everything You Touch"
Ladytron
Witching Hour
[Rykodisc]
"destroy everything you touch today. destroy me this way."
Ladytron used to be all about the subtle lady-singer-as-robot thing with slinky beats and what not. Then this song destroys all of that in the first fifteen seconds. A euro-dance beat that makes you swear you're seeing strobe lights when you close your eyes. And yeah they still sing all cool-like. But hey, it's a lady-tron. What do you expect. ROBOTS.
31. "Pull Up The People"
M.I.A.
Arular
[XL]
"i got the bombs to make you blow. i got the beats to make you bang."
Ah M.I.A., you are so international, just like that dude from The Life Aquatic who sings David Bowie songs, and when I listen to you, I become a better, more well-rounded person. But seriously, M.I.A.'s producer Diplo rocks the shit out of the beat here with by far the creepiest production of the year, pulsing synth with enough rock to rock you. And M.I.A. is just kinda along for the ride.
