In my last post I listed my favorite albums that I had listened to the list year. Now, are for the single songs that I have listened to over and over. I tried to not have overlap with artists from the Best Albums but sometimes a song will just stay with you.
3Style - Way U Move
Hip-Hop from Scotland. What more can I say?
With lyrics like:
"I'm Batman, I'm Living the nightlife" and the infectios chorus "all alone, you and me, we get so tipsy"(think I got that right)members G, KS, and Ally have under their belt a solid first outing.
3style
Athlete - Wires
From London, this 4 piece group releases their first single "Wires" from their second album, Tourist. In a style similar to some Stone Roses tracks(not from Second Coming), Coldplay, and Radiohead, singer Joel Pott wears his emotions on his sleave and doesn't give a damn. Nice intro to their music.
ATHLETE
Ben Folds - Bitches Ain' Shit
Who else could take a gangsta classic from Dr. Dre and turn it into a sympathetic spotlight on a man done wrong by the very objects that he want to impress with his lyrical madness, women.
"She found herself short, now she's taking me to court. That's some real conversation for your ass."
Ben Folds
Slim - Cortez and Pizarro
Slim, sometimes a one man acoustic/electric guitar act and sometimes a band, leeps out at you with the first track off his Interstate Medicine. With spanish guitar pickings surrounded by rocking bass and drum/percussion line, tells the story of the Conquistidors or as he says in the first lines, "Way way way way long time ago, before I was before I was born that's all I know....". Nice quitar work in the middle has kept me comg back for more this one.
Slim
Thanks to Accident Hash for introducing me to the music of Slim
Bright Eyes - When The President Talks to God
Take a listen, read the lyrics. Rinse, repeat.
