Best Song of 2005: Heat #3

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Ladytron, Gorillaz, LCD Soundsystem and Mylo go through (check out our electro credibility!), along with t.A.T.u who win the Heat #1 run-off. However the girls are in ANOTHER run-off for heat #2, this time with Kanye! Gosh you lot are indecisive sometimes :)

On to business: who the hell nominated Lisa Scott Lee for Heat #3?

• You get SIX TICKS over the three bits of the poll, unless you told us all your new favourite (and why) from the last heat. Put your new favourite in the box below and get an extra tick for the next heat - do it for five or more heats and get an extra nomination for 2006 (unless I think of something else to do in 2006).



• The top five in each heat will go through to the next stage. Make sure you rep for your faves in the comments!



• If you want to fill in the 'best song I only heard today' box later, change your vote (or tick too many by mistake), you can edit your votes by clicking on 'Poll #12345' then 'Fill Out Poll'.



• You have until Friday lunchtime to vote.

[Poll #1529464]


Extra ticks this heat go to meserach, credoimprobus, koganbot, braisedbywolves and me.

GIDDY STRATOSPHERES!

MUST QUALIFY MUST



Easily one of my top ten songs of the decade, The Long Blonde's masterpiece.

The Long Blondes are all about the exquisite misery of being the other woman.

"You're pretty oh so pretty
Why waste your time just sitting
here listening to that dead-eyed bitch?"

It's glamorous, mascara-dripping female-fronted guitar pop. Please, please give it a listen.

If it's any consolation I really liked this song and gave up my Kanye vote for it. Cheers.

It's very much an excellent consolation, thank you! The point of this process is to share the stuff we like after all.

I like her voice (and the tune she's singing) a lot, but I've developed an allergy to that Libertines-guitar jangle over the last decade.
