I did say that this blog would be more than my sad stories and whining. So, to honor that promise, I decided to make this post. One of the things I truly love is music. I enjoy all types of music, from classical to jazz to classic rock to pop (as well as everything else). Today, I'll only be dealing with recent pop music.
The first six months of the year just ended and I thought I would post some of what I think are the best songs from the first half of the year. I'm including singles as well as non-single, album tracks. U.S. releases, international releases, and other songs that I've discovered during the first half of the year. So here they are. They're in no particular order, save the first one. "The Girl and the Robot" is by far the best song of this half-year. I downloaded it a little over a month ago and my iTunes play count says I've already played it 127 times (128 as I'm writing this). And that's not including the times I've listened to it on my iPod or on YouTube.
"The Girl and the Robot" - Röyksopp featuring Robyn
"Bulletproof" - La Roux
"Pandemonium" - Pet Shop Boys
"Dog Days" - Florence and the Machine
"Heartbreak Make Me a Dancer" - Freemasons & Sophie Ellis-Bextor
"The Bones of You" - Elbow
"Heavy Cross" - The Gossip
"Not Now" - Little Boots
"Bang Bang" - The Knux
"My Only Offer"- Mates of State
Full disclosure, some of these songs also appear on XO's list and, in fact, his list is what gave me the idea to do this post. What can I say? We both have excellent taste. Any songs you think should be on my list? Or songs that you just like in general? Is anyone reading this?
