so sometimes I spend a year in my own little world. I still love you.
I give you, thoughts on my recently added music, greatest hits edition:
#41: "Shake It" - Metro Station: All the kids love it, and for some reason, I do too. Mostly it has to do with not calling shotgun fast enough and making them rue the day they ever put baby in the backseat. I like to dance to it, its a good time, I promise.
#37: "Womanizer" - Britney Spears: We all know about that. Drinking game I invented: drink every time she says "womanizer". Have the hospital on standby. Fo sho. It breaks the commandment of "Thou Shalt Not make repetitive, generic music", but hell, it's Britney, bitch.
# 36:"Love Lockdown" - Fall Out Boy: Don't make me say it again. Covers are my kryptonite.
#30 : "Mariella" - Kate Nash: I love it. If Regina Spektor and Lily Allen had a baby and left it in the Chunnel, you'd get her. Love, Love, Love Love her. With a capital L. The song is fucking adorable.
# 11: "Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet" - Fall Out Boy: yes, you read that right. That title is every bit as terrible to say as it is to read. I DON'T GET IT. Fall Out Boy goes new wave, and I was okay with it. I feel like the older they get both as people and as a product they want to push people away to see who the real fans are. It started with "Dead on Arrival" (no I am not including FOB's Evening Out With Your Girl, because I am lazy) then went to "7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen)" only to go to "The Carpal Tunnel of Love
" ,(ignore the formatting) which brings us to this abomination. The song's not half bad, but the title totally takes it to a place I don't wanna go to. (Apparently, its a baseball reference. I think that just made it worse.) Did I mention that the CD is called Folie à Deux? Pop-punkers know French? Oh sweet jesus.#10 : "What A Catch, Donnie" - Fall Out Boy: Single #3 from the new CD. THE FIRST SINGLE HIT RADIO A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. If they want to release forty-eleven singles from the CD, that's fine, they won't be the first or last to do so. This one's a thinker (listener? see the wikipedia article
). I didn't hear them or first listen, so I am trying again. Who doesn't love a slow jam? Oh, Elvis Costello.#9: Birthday Girl" - The Roots (f/Patrick Stump): Well, if this whole band thing doesn't pan out, Patty's always got a career as a backup singer. Apparently, the CD Rising Down was released in April with the song, but was later removed. Good call, I can't handle radio friendly Roots. "Girl its your birthday," he sings. A nation weeps.
there are more, like Maximo Park covering J. Timberlake, and Cobra Starship singing about how they kissed a boy. You'll recall a few years ago, they weren't our hollaback boy either.
also, I am thinking about resurrecting the video hangover feature. Since Stereogum's pretty much abandoned it, that means it's mine, right? There are a shit ton of new vids out.
I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me.
