At the moment I'm really enjoying "The End of You Too" by Metronomy. I've been playing the album for about 3 days now. Pretty good. But I know I'll stop playing it once my CD order from online comes in.

2008 has ended the day "Top Ranking" came out :
"Get It Up" Radioclit feat. Gorilla Zoe, Santogold and M.I.A. Absolutely awesome, terribly cool and just perfect. |

"Kissing the Beehive" is definitely super-awesome - I especially love the part where Spencer's singing/yelping "Fire in the hole!" and then the "Oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh!" that comes after. So good. I'm also a fan of "Blank Slate", but my personal favourite on that EP is "Santa Clara", which I'm suprised/disappointed didn't make it onto Boxer. I was kind of disappointed that the Virginia EP didn't have more new songs, though; I'd already heard most of them on their singles. Oh well, I guess I can't expect everything they put out to be a classic. :P |

A few things: 1. "Kissing the Beehive" is also high on my list for best songs of the year. It builds and builds so perfectly that it can take me from what ever level I'm at at the time, and propel me into a state where I feel totally awesome. 2. I really really love "Tall Saint" off of the Virginia EP. It just have great melodies and a cool dancing rhythem which The National sometimes sacrifices for the sake of tension and mystery. 3. I have yet to find a song in the past year and a half that has sunk its claws into me so deeply as Horsefeathers' "Currs in the Weeds". At this moment, I think I could listen to it on repeat until the day I die and never stop being moved by it. This hasn't happened in a very very long time. The rest of the album is beautiful as well. |

I definitely agree with you on that one, though I think I'd rate it as the 3rd- or 4th-best song on that album ("This is What" and "Rude to Rile" top my list). What I like about the album is that the songs really do feel like they sink in and stay for good, like you said. They're subtle in many ways, and won't jump out at you as being super-awesome right away, but I feel like it's an album I'll still be listening to years from now. -------------------------------------------------- Anatomy to me is a homesick stomach and a broken heart |

There's another good call. There are 5 or 6 top-notch country/folk songs on that Blitzen album. They certainly can write a great spastic indie-rock song (see "Wild Mountain Nation"), but I think they're at their best when they go Americana. -------------------------------------------------- Anatomy to me is a homesick stomach and a broken heart |

Okay. I haven't been to the forums much the past few months, so forgive me if this one's already been mentioned by a few people... but I can't believe I see no love for Bonnie Prince Billy's "Easy Does It". Easily my favorite song of the year.

I dunno...the title track is really good, that's for sure. But "Black River Killer" is awesome. And so is "Gold for Bread", that song rawks. |

It was on his MySpace, and I really liked it, but it's nice to have an mp3. Thanks, Jacok.
