1. Smile Around the Face- Four Tet
GOD THIS SONG. Not really a band I thought I could ever get into, but with the right association and a few minutes, holy shit- This is an amazing song. TIMPANI ROLLS- guarantee good. This song seems a little corny to me as well, but whatever, it gives me chills so it can't be all that corny.
2. Soda Popinski- Javelin
linked to a live performance, because the song is extended, it's a hundred billion times more awesome this way, plus lyrics!
DIS SONG. PARTY FUEL. Pissed I wasn't in a mood to party both times I saw Javelin this year. I should've gotten down hard to this. REGRETS. The drum machine in the live performance is SO GOOD.
3. Whoopash- OCDJ
Starts out generic and dull (or maybe I've seriously over listened to it)but it builds into this fucking amazing 8 bit satire-esque pop hip hop, thing out of some otherwise meh song. I would love to see this guy (Dan Gaeta) live. Partying would be hard. (PS: everything he's done is amazing)
4. Milk's Gone Bad- OCDJ
I loved the original tune (Kelis- Milkshake) in a non-ironic way when it first came out- then I discovered this track and life as i knew it changed forever, basically. that is all. This video is shitty and annoying though.
5. Hands- Four Tet
beautiful. again, i don't often like stuff like this, but I gave it a chance and it's amazing. it's so mellow, but it's so visual and warm. The whole album ("Rounds") is amazing, save for a track or two.
6. Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity- Gustav Holst (The Planets)
YEAH I BET YOU DIDNT KNOW I FUCKING LOVE ORCHESTRAL/ CLASSICAL. This composition has the most amazing, strongest, fullest, greatest in the world ever ever ever winds section ever. Deal with it BU
I wanted to find a video of a full orchestra performing this, but I couldn't find any that would allow embedding/ I liked enough.
7. Her Majesty's Midwestern Island- Defiance, Ohio
raw but upbeat and so fucking pure. "Don't usually dance with the cooks and the waitstaff, but here I am." Defiance, Ohio is one of the best anthemic [folk]punk groups out there. So fucking amazing live, so strong on a record. I have no complaints about this or their new album.
8. Hoop Dreams- Teengirl Fantasy
Because I paid attention to this song for the first time last night and AUGH WHAT A GOOD CLUSTERFUCK. Just enough organization to make it awesome, but so many layers of fucking ridiculous insanity gosh it's just good okay.
9. Portofino- Teengirl Fantasy
Heard it for the first time and my brain melted. Nothing is bad about this song, except for the fact that it ends.
10. Flood Waters- Defiance, Ohio
idk, this song reminds me of a song The Presidents of the USA would do, but with different lyrics or something. Same strength in the way they sing I guess. The song paints a very inspirational, depressing-but-we'll-make-it kind of picture. Amazing.
