POPTIMISTS TRACKS OF 2009: Nos 60-51

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The next ten. Something for everyone here I'd say.

60. ROYKSOPP ft KARIN DREIJER ANDERSSON - "This Must Be It"

Embedding disabled for this video full of neo-hippie oddness and DRUMS ON A BIKE.

59. NINA SKY - "On Some Bullshit"

This was the lowest-placed song to get 3 votes - sorry Nina and Sky. They do look like they're having an enormous amount of fun though so I doubt they mind.

58. THE BANGZ - "Boyz With Tattoos (We Jerkin)"

If the TRIBES OF JERK had united around songs any of these lowish-placed ones might have gone higher.

57. DIZZEE RASCAL - "Holiday"

This is a Club Tropicana pisstake no?

56. ELECTRIK RED - "Freaky Freaky"

Fan made stills vid for this E-Red album track.

55. LILY ALLEN - "Not Fair"

No embedding. It's not fair and I think Parlophone are really mean. :(

54. BUSY SIGNAL - "Da Style Deh"

Singles Jukebox sensation makes Poptimists crossover - a rare incursion for a dancehall track! No video though.

53. THE JUAN MACLEAN - "One Day"

So 80s it makes La Roux look like the Spin Doctors.

52. CAMERA OBSCURA - "French Navy"

You'd never have got away with a beard like that in the days of Proper Indie.

51. LITTLE BOOTS - "New In Town"

Little Boots in downtown LA. A significant chunk of points were for the Fred Falke remix.

It's what the expansion to 20 was meant to prevent, and to a degree it did I think! Though a couple of acts have been badly hit by it.

Also, from a "showing off the greatness" POV is it better to have one really high placing song or several lower-placed ones?
