Two Bit vs Pitchfork's 100 Top Tracks of 2006
This started when Buny mentioned he was listening to all of the Top 100 tracks over at Pitchfork and making notes about all of them. Being a follower instead of a leader, I decided to do the same. Yep, you'll have to scroll some. 100-76, 75-51, 50-26, 25-1.
Number 100
Burial - "Southern Comfort"
Buny: Like, though too long.
Anj Kay: I should be listening to this while laying in a pink-velvet lined coffin. Could have cut out almost 2 minutes.
Number 99
The Divine Comedy - "A Lady of a Certain Age"
Buny: Like! Weirdly soulful.
Anj Kay: I liked this one, but I don't know why. I felt as if I was listening to a novelty song.
Number 98
Chelonis R. Jones - "Deer in the Headlights (Radio Slave Remix)"
Buny: Trancey-dancey, not for me.
Anj Kay: This song sucks.
Number 97
Midlake - "Roscoe"
Buny: Like! 70s harmony and mellow.
Anj Kay: I liked Midlake more when they were performing in college. I don't like change!
Number 96
Oxford Collapse - "Please Visit Your National Parks"
Buny: Don't really like - music's ok but lyrics grate, repetitive.
Anj Kay: Music and lyrics are fighting each other for the forefront and the listener suffers for it. It lets up a little towards the end.
Number 95
Rihanna - "S.O.S."
Buny: Never liked.
Anj Kay: Okay, I like this song. Don't judge me!
Number 94
Scritti Politti - "The Boom Boom Bap"
Buny: Live version youtube - hard to tell but I think not my thing, though interesting.
Anj Kay: It reminds me of the lead-ins to so many 80s pop songs. I still mostly like it.
Number 93
The Thermals - "Here's Your Future"
Buny: Rocks, like despite content?
Anj Kay: It's either trying to rock too hard or talk too hard. It's hard to pull off both and this song doesn't.
Number 92
Mew - "The Zookeeper's Boy"
Buny: I should like this but don't really - too much, treacly.
Anj Kay: I like most of the singing, but am not overly fond of the actual music.
Number 91
Escort - "Starlight"
Buny: Not bad, happy disco good coding music.
Anj Kay: I'm kind of picky about my disco music. Sorry, Escort, you just aren't cutting it.
Number 90
Arctic Monkeys - "A Certain Chemistry"
Buny: Not usually a fan but I like this song - probably the ska, also nice ending.
Anj Kay: Took a little long to really get going, yet once there, quickly dissolved back into the boring beginning beats.
Number 89
Annuals - "Brother"
Buny: Like! Wasn't sure at first, also ends abruptly.
Anj Kay: Barely there lyrics do nothing to lessen the dullness of the music/noises playing behind them.
Number 88
Geiger - "Good Evening (SuperMayer Mix)"
Buny: I don't like the talky bits, the rest could be worse.
Anj Kay: This one blows. I hate it.
Number 87
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Cheated Hearts"
Buny: Don't mind this but never clicked with me actually liking it better without clip.
Anj Kay: If you like the 3Ys, then you'll love this song. It's like everything else they've done.
Number 86
Spank Rock - "Sweet Talk"
Buny: Like, pretty good sound.
Anj Kay: This song/group will have me dancing around like a dumbass in no time.
Number 85
Beyonce - "Ring the Alarm"
Buny: Nah. mostly one note.
Anj Kay: Uh, no. Typical song from a pop "princess".
Number 84
Boris - "Farewell"
Buny: Big noisy guitars - has moments but don't really like.
Anj Kay: Heavy. Noisy, but in an unappealing way.
Number 83
Cansai de Ser Sexy - "Alala"
Buny: Bouncy but nah.
Anj Kay: Even though it's so ridiculously cutesy, I love it.
Number 82
Kris Menace Presents Stars on 33 - "I Feel Music in Your Heart"
Buny: Too much in headphones! Also- no reason at all to listen to it big no!
Anj Kay: When did roller-rink disco come back into style? Enough with the repeated lyrics!
Number 81
My Robot Friend (ft. Antony) - "One More Try"
Buny: Bouncy but brainless.
Anj Kay: I'm a little in love with this song.
Number 80
Nelly Furtado - "Promiscuous"
Buny: Boring!
Anj Kay: I don't know why I find this song listenable, but I do. I also don't doubt the truthfulness of the title.
Number 79
Cam'ron - "Weekend Girl"
Buny: I like parts of this but long, too much rap.
Anj Kay: When did we start calling girls "Killah"? Cam'ron's a competent rapper, although this isn't his best. No seriously, "killah"? I guess rappers don't say "schmoopy".
Number 78
Be Your Own Pet - "Adventure"
Buny: A bit Yeah Yeah Yeahs, okay but not a keeper.
Anj Kay: The singer has potential, perhaps if she got with a different band?
Number 77
Jamie Lidell - "Multiply (In a Minor Key)"
Buny: Like, smooth.
Anj Kay: Why is the good stuff at only 77? This one is kind of jazz-ish and pop-like.
Number 76
Cham (ft. Akon) - "Ghetto Story (Remix)"
Buny: Don't hate!
Anj Kay: These two better be from Jamaica or I am kicking some ass. Um, this one is fine. The original Ghetto Story is not as good.
Numbers 100-76, 75-51, 50-26, 25-1.
