Here we go. Repeats are due to the fact that I mostly just listen to what my friends send me rapidshare links to. And they find good shit on rapidshare.
Star Guitar - Shinichi Osawa ft. Au Revoir Simone - A cover of an electronic song. Love that concept. Better than the original.
Simon Says - Pharaohe Monch - Remember when Kavinsky dropped this bomb before Daft Punk went on? DO YOU?
Do You Remember the First Time - Pulp - Dan, remember when we heard this song playing you put this song on the jukebox in the bar? Then you put it on your mix for which I give you thanks. This shit has been on loop ever since
Please Sunrise - Supermayer - A gem on an otherwise strangely shitty superstar album
Atlas - Battles
Barry Bonds - Kanye West ft. Lil Wayne - I don't understand this song. Like, at all. But now that Bonds has been indicted it's been imbued with some kind of horribly abstract meaning (more than before). Anything Weezy cannot foresee?
Pony - Ginuwine
Trust - Prince
Can't Hurt My Style - Cam'ron - Cam goes grime and it's awesome
Come Undone - Duran Duran - Thanks Andy D
When the Sun Grows on Your Tongue - Black Moth Super Rainbow - Horrible album title, horrible song title, horrible band name. Love this song.
Breezin' - Cornelius
I'm So Tired - The Beatles
Ruler of My Heart - Irma Thomas - McNulty reminded me how good this song is
Stars - Hum - This shit is in some Nissan commercial or something. Thanks Nissan for bringing it back.

("All I ask is to put the Los Campesinos! song at the start and the Hatchback at the end. The rest is for you to decide... ")

Last night was the premiere of Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveShow on HBO, a cavalcade of spinning stages, projections on gauzy columns, lasers, walls of space age sound equipment, hydraulic risers, and scantily clad dancers. The only people that rivaled the lack of clothing were the permed bridge-n-tunnelers shown in the audience, screaming their eyes out, beer cups raised in joy.
While JTim might be this generation's Michael Jackson, he lacks the consummate showmanship of Jacko.
For example, let's look at how each one ends a show to decide which is better:
Justin Timberlake ended his show with a ballad on the piano and then, with tears in his eyes, thanked the audience, truly and sincerely, for coming.
Michael Jackson on the other hand decided to end his 1992 concert in Bucharest by taking off from stage strapped to a jet pack and flying over the audience, presumably on his way to meet Captain EO:
winner: MJ
Also of Note: One person who didn't benefit from the broadcast of the show in high definition was Timbaland, who would randomly rise from and then lumber onto the stage. Dude looked like right before the show he bench-pressed a cow then dipped it in nacho cheese and ate it.
