POPTIMISTS TRACKS OF 2009: Nos 36-31

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Another half-dozen, and more to come later today.

36. DJ QUIK AND KURUPT - "Hey Playa! (Moroccan Blues)"

Camels!!

35. THE-DREAM - "Take You Home 2 My Mama"

We were no great respecters of singles with this dude - a still photo vid of this excellent Love vs Money song.

34. ELECTRIK RED - "So Good"

Though actually this was the single wasn't it? So forget what I just said.

33. FUZZY LOGIC ft EGYPT - "In The Morning"

Went for the ripped still video over the official one cos I preferred this unedited mix.

32. LA ROUX - "Bulletproof"

2008's most divisive act. This one has a nice backing track I'll admit. Embedding disabled - a bunch of points also for the "Skream remix" which seems not to exist, either they meant the Zinc one or they meant "In For The Kill" in which case "Bulletproof" drops to #58!

31. LOVE AND THEFT - "Runaway"

Country voters FTW, though I've not actually had time to listen to this yet.

there's plenty of two CD releases where the second CD is totally a difft project, moodwise or whatever, than the first -- but the "flipside of the LP" effect was all but a lost art from around the mid-80s, bcz you no longer actually flipped the LP

dangerous is 1991 or so, so really strikingly late to be doing this

i imagine there are also non-pop releases where eg tracks 1 and 2 are (a) all that's on the release and (b) notvery like each other
