1. Think Like A Man – Jennifer Hudson and Neyo – The problem here isn't the (over) singing which is great, especially Neap. Or the production which is pretty perfect especially the drums with an extra echo on the back flip. Or the sentiments, which are kinda funny, "act like a woman, think like a man". It's the song. Which sucks.
2. Divine Intervention – Matthew Sweet – Given his subsequent work, this masterpiece of melodic electric guitar with one electrifying lick after another, plus a fade out and a fake ending, might well have gotten some help from the savior.
3. Tonight (Best You Ever Had) – John Legend – Legend is to Stevie Wonder what ambient is to valium. The single most boring man on earth sounds as though when he wants to sleep with her what he means is HE WANTS TO SLEEP WITH HER.
4. Boring Girls – Pissed jeans – They wanna kiss boring girls, but they were younger then.
5. Tremendous Brunettes – Mike Doughty – The Soul Coughing lead singer is pretty good here, the violins are terrific. The rest of the album, not so much.
6. Honolulu Blues – Craig Finn – Best line on a song with its own fair share? "We're all wild, we're all free, we're all back from Tennessee".
7. I Want You Back – Taylor Swift – Finally available on Spotify.
8. Moving Principle – Ceremony – The more I head this guys, the more I love them. Can't wait for tonight's gig.
9. Over His Head – Imperial Teens – Jaunty motherfuckers.
10. Homo Christmas – Pansy Division – Hahahaaaaaaa, this is the best. Remind me to review it next December
