Because we are naughty, naughty children and don't deserve any presents.

i am a huge fan of cloud cult, in fact, advice from the happy hippopotamus is one of the main reasons i started blogging. unfortunately, i could not get into this album. i don't know what it was exactly. a sense of their trying too hard, the songs sounded too much like some of the stuff off happy hippo? i liked a few of them, but i never found myself putting the cd on and listening to it straight through, which made me feel very sad and guilty.

Nerd Litter is proud to present its list of the best 30 singles of 2007.
Still to come: the best 30 albums of 2007. -
Given that other thread, Chuck, I thought that maybe you'd include yourself. Broads don't dig humility.
-
And all this time, I thought the problem was my rampant misanthropy.
-
sneaking in under the wire, my favorite songs of 2007 are finally up. i'm aiming for 12/30 for the albums list (i know you all care deeply!). : )
-
MJ is allegro type of gal... heh. I think I will start categorizing people by bpm, like dance tracks.
-
I noticed Newsweek put up its 2007 list. What's going on this year, guys? Another mainstream list whose tastes don't make me want to vomit with rage? Either I'm getting less cool (yeah right) or the usual dichotomies really have become blurrier than ever. (I'm still not saying it's a great list, but you know, it's a plausible one at least.)
-
My theory, Time and Newsweek suddenly realize, it really doesn't matter if they print Madonna and Michael Jackson from the 90's or Feist for 2007 top chart. Their core readers couldn't care less. (weekly magazine has the oldest median age after rightwing talk radio.)
Jens Lekman, Soul WIlliams , Bloc party ... R.Kelly?
They are trying to string up random musical event to fit their readers demographic and it shows. Musically/thematically, they don't make sense. Event wise... one is just as obscure as the other. It has nothing to do with music. It doesn't make sense and they are just stringing up words to sell magazine.
The good thing, notice how Time, Newsweek, NPR, mtv, Billboard... none of them has same list. None of them makes sense. The mass media coherency as promo tool is breaking down. The reporters don't all march with same tune. -
Hey Squashed, if I Paypal you a hundred dollars, would you agree to meet me in person?
-
no. Are you a swedish super model? I might consider you otherwise. ... hah...

This is one reason why P2P should be banned. It spread bad taste... lol
(tho, note. most traffic now are hidden from search engines and public tracker.)
I'd say open p2p now is officially the trashy section of the net.
http://www.wired.com/entertainment/hollywood/news/2007/12/YE_best_of_p2p
For this study, we asked BigChampagne to concentrate solely on P2P traffic. The firm then compiled a set of top 10 lists using data from all the major file-trading protocols and networks -- BitTorrent, Gnutella and eDonkey included. Private BitTorrent trackers and invite-only trading communities were excluded from the study, as were private LAN-based sharing networks. But what remains, we feel, is an accurate picture of what the file-trading world at large got excited about over the past 12 months.Each list shows data from the beginning of the year up to Dec. 10, 2007.
Here are 2007's superstars of P2P.
Top Songs of 2007
1. Shop Boyz, "Party Like A Rock Star"
2. Akon, "I Wanna Luv U"
3. Sean Kingston, "Beautiful Girls"
4. Mims, "This Is Why I'm Hot"
5. Akon, "Don't Matter"
6. T-Pain, "Bartender"
7. Soulja Boy, "Crank Dat Soulja Boy"
8. Justin Timberlake, "My Love"
9. DJ Unk, "Walk It Out"
10. Jim Jones, "We Fly High"All of 2007's biggest names in cross-over pop and hip-hop are represented on the list of most-traded songs. But there's almost no correlation to sales of full-length CDs.
-
I just posted my Best Of the year.
A Reissues/Passings/Undersung post will follow shortly, once I recover from all the pesky coding. -
I'm so punchy from all that coding, apparently, that I didn't even embed a link:

Quick Before it Melts favourite Canadian albums of 2007.
Happy New Year, folks. -
A few bands that I'm fans of sent me their Best of 2007 lists:
The Format
HEALTH
DJ Touche from The Black Ghosts / The Wiseguys
And I just realized I never posted a link in this thread to my personal Best of list: here -
BEST OF NBGL 2007: the best stuff that's been on Nothing But Green Lights this year.
NothingButGreenLights.net
because: I write about new music and lots of unsigned bands, not albums. Though Battles wins that race. probably.
11. Last Dinosaur
10. Essie Jain
9. Message to Bears
8. Cats in Paris
7. A Classic Education
6. Misophone
5. Slow Club
4. Magic Arm
3. Buttonhead
2. Sleeping States
1. find out at NothingButGreenLights.net
You may not have heard of many of them as they are all british and can summed up thusly: very folky, and pretty big (see: 7,5,4,2,1) there is a bit of chaos in there (8,3) And some electric music (9,6) and some pop music.
Merry New Year music bloggers, I hope the NYE hippo brings you all sorts of fine presents. I'm off to drink some cider and then probably some gin. -
