E. Kula’s Song Of The Year
“Glitter and Gold” by Cheap Time
Other Top Songs (with one caveat)
CAVEAT: Every single track off Girl Talk’s “Feed the Animals” lp could be one of my top songs. But, invariably throughout the album, each track includes a particular mix (or two or three) to my chagrin. A fine collection of songs, but to make this list you have to plug the Big Muff directly into my g spot 100% of the time…not 90%
“Lady Macbeth” by Differnet
“Opposite Sides” by The Epochs
“Baby I’m Just a Fool” by Spiritualized
“Murder Me” by The Bug
“Get Out 3″ by Peter Rehberg
“I Quit’ by The Jealous Girlfriends
“O Honey, We’re Ridiculous” by Pas/Cal
“Sea Sick” by Love Is All
“Dance, Dance Dance” by Lykke Li (in particular the Youtube Lykke Li/Bon Iver collaboration)
Best Ep
Memory Cassette – Rewind While Sleeping
Best Compilations
5. Mary Anne Hobbs Presents Evangeline (planet mu)
4. The Postmarks: By The Numbers (Unfiltered) (Compiled covers album)
3. Jay Reatard: Matador Singles ‘08 (Matador)
