And now for your enjoyment...

If memory serves me right Chairman Kaga style it's time to discuss the finest songs of ze early and summer part of 07. So it's time to be catching up, fools, especially cuz my list is often strangely different than most. Get a downloadin.(With full commentary, cuz I'm busy watching Pink Lady and Jeff the finest variety show of all time.)
No specific order.

Glass Candy-I Always Say Yes and Rollin Down The Hills.
If you don't have both singles by Glass Candy be very ashamed. VERY VERY ashamed. Ok not really. But, you should have them anyway. In the ever ending world that is italo style dance, Glass Candy's new shit is certainly standing other heavy hitters of the decade(say Metro Area and Juan Maclean). Both are dark oozing madness that is better for the after party, the bedroom, or perhaps the dancer who's feeling to depressed to move.

And speaking of Italo.
Cloetta Paris-Broken Heart Tango and I Miss You Someone
Cloetta is already positioning herself as 2007's version of Annie. I really don't need to say more. If you don't know Annie or Cloetta for that matter, it's darker pop madness.(of course we need an album to justify this praise)

Prinzhorn Dance School-Up Up Up
THANK WHICHEVER GOD YOU WANT. A POST PUNK BAND THAT IS FROM A TOTALLY OPPOSITE SCHOOL THAN GANG OF FOUR. YES IN THE MODERN LANDSCAPE THAT REALLY DOES DESERVE ALL CAPS. Prinzhorn is more from the No Wave school of NY Post Punk(despite being from London) that gave us Lydia Lunch, DNA, and Sonic Youth(they were partially no wave, ok). Perhaps they are the post-post punk of the White Stripes, but really they are like a more exuberant, equally dark, more focused version of DNA. And with modern rockers running angular guitars into the fucking ground, it's refreshing to hear a more minimalist band.

Taken by Trees-Lost and Found
Ok so Victoria Bergmans year was made by her Peter Bjorn and John star turn, but her first tune post-Concretes is quite good. Especially cause it sounds just like Camera Obscura, which makes sense cause it was written by Tracyanne Campbell.

The Brunettes-Her Hairagami Set
New Zealand 60's indie poppers, remind me of a cuter, less swaggering Lee and Nancy at times. There's something very wistful and California about this one, I like it.

The Go Team-Doing It Right
It's the Go Team. It sounds like the Go Team. What else do you want me to say. The album is out like next week. It should be cool.

Here's where I would throw Holy Hail's Country Fair PT II on here, but I'm still not sure how I feel about Brooklyn via RI via rappers Fannypack doing southern B-52's style songs. It's a good song though. When there's an album, call me.

Bat For Lashes-What's A Girl To Do
Creepy video. Best Trip Hop song since either Goldfrapp's "Gun" or Martina Topley Bird's "Sandpaper Kisses." Anyway, it's weirdly medieval and creepy with a brilliant singer.

Uffie-Brand New Car.
Uffie had to be on here. Fuck all the haters, is what she would say to that. She's like the white Foxy Brown. Great sample. rhyme of computer and witch doctor. Typical Veronica Mars like sassiness. I'm better than you attitude=one of her best songs yet.

!!!-Must Be The Moon
Hey !!! are post punk and they are still interesting. Great, pissy aloof lyrics/delivery as always. One of the best funky riffs that is constantly being ripped by DJs. It's a can't miss. Just please no more bands from that school of post punk PLEASE. UNLESS they are gonna reform Outhud, that would be awesome.

Amanda Blank- If Diplo is the Indie P.Diddy, and Uffie is the white Foxy Brown, Amanda Blank possibly could end up being the white Missy Elliott. This song is so hot, it's absurd. Fergie wishes she could be this bitch. Shit so does Lady Sovereign.

Kanye West-Flashing Lights
Yeah it's by FAR the best hip hop tune of the year. Everything you want Kanye to do, bigger and better. Withough crap Daft Punk samples or sped up samples.

The Game-Wouldn't Get Far
2nd Best Hip Hop Tune of the year. The Game hates everyone. Oh and Kanye West sped up sample.

Justice-D.A.N.C.E.
Does this one count? or is this an 06. Well fuck it the album finally came out, and nothing tops this one's catchiness.

Simian Mobile Disco-It's The Beat
Same as previous entry.

MIA-Bamboo Banger
Um she mixed, Bollywood, the droniness of XR2, and the Modern Lovers. It's a can't miss.

Tegan and Sara-Back in your Head
Strange haunting piano, good beats, and Sara's cryptic, haunting voice, that just kills you.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Down Boy
Hey the Yeahs are back with violent intentions. And they make great EPS Boards of Canada style.(just not full albums i guess)

Bjork-Earth Intruders
here's the real lyrics/undertone of the song... "The Knife ripped off my shit, let me bitch slap you into place, and show you who did this shit first."

The Icarus Line-Gets Paid
So the Icarus Line prove themselves as the only rock band in America that seems to never take shit from anyone. Again. And now they sound more like the Warlocks. Pissed off sludgy rock and roll, it's about time.

Bonde Do Role-Bondallica
This song could be about terrible vegetable fucking, for all I know.(Since all their lyrics are dirty) But, this is prob the best new dance jam from them, now that they can't use Alice and Chains samples anymore.

Art Brut-Saint Pauli
Ah I give em pass on the new album. This song is great live, however that album still DIRELY NEEDS more Steve Albini.

Camera Obscura-Super Trouper
Leave it to CO to make an Abba song hauntingly depressing and beautiful.

Alright so there you go, do some hunting, complete the collection. Feel free and comment. Anything I missed can be on ze end of the list
