top ten, with a bullet...

hi alex.

top ten songs of the moment, in no particular order and what I love about them:

1) modest mouse - black cadillacs: 'we were done done done with all the fuck fuck fucking around.' oh man, do i hear you issac.
2) centro-matic - now that you have blown away the cards: when the man gets it right, he gets that shit right. In about a 1 1/2 minutes Will Johnson conjurs up more genuine emotion than most modern bands have in their entire back catalog.
3) bjork - bachelorette: Do I have to explain this one? She's moved beyond some kind of vocal diva into siren territorty. Try not to listen, I dare you!
4) Mark Lanegan Band - Wish You Well: I'm convinced Lanegan is a love child of Tom Waits and punk rock. This song is filled with cold chills and light rain.
5) The Kamikaze Hearts - Tennesse (live version): My dislike of the Foxhole recording of this song makes me love the live version even more. It doesn't even matter if I can't make out what the hell Troy is saying.
6) The Magnetic Fields - I think I need a new heart: There does seem to be something the matter with it.
7) Mike Doughty - From the bottom of a well: A simple keyboard, drum machine, acoustic guitar combo of pure pop genius.
8) Britney Spears - Toxic: Ms. Spears plays second fiddle to the beat this time around. I'm not sure if it is even her singing. It very well may be some talented computer. p.s fuck Clear Channel.
9) Q And Not U - A line in the sand : Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap.
10) The Breeders - No Aloha: Don't worry Kim, I feel left out too.
