2004 songs: batch 6
explanation for this post.
- me plus one - i always think of this songs as half way in between chewing gum and heartbeat, even thought that doesn't make much sense. i like it more than chewing gum but less than heartbeats, which should have been the only annie song on this disc.
- cherry blossom girl - v pretty song from a disc i never really got into aside from this. glad it's here.
- was a time - schuffle-cheese. awesome.
- save a horse (ride a cowboy) - weird country. i like this song ok, but i def didn't get the same charge out of it that kogan etc did. prob need to listen to more legit country to get the context...
- happiness (m. mayer mix) - this track is good. really good. but still, i always hope that the mayer/superpitcher interface will blow my mind, and it has not done so yet, so there is always a little bit of disappointment when i listen to this track. (how fucking spoiled does that sound?)
- world war iv - i get the same charge out of this that i think some people get out of operatic metal or queen. i love the balls out entusiasm this dude has for his sound: ridiculous falsettos, big riffs, synth solos... being generally poptastic doesn't hurt either. i can't believe no one else was into this last year.
- i'm a cuckoo (avalanches mix) - avalanches take the first b&s song i've liked in ages and make it even better. i can't wait for their new album, if they ever get around to making one.
- walking machine - i want to dismiss this as nice enough if generic riffy-electropop, but it always grows on me when i hear it.
- frei/hotlove (justus köhncke feat meloboy remix) - what a brilliantly weird remix. justus so crazy! schufflier and cheesier than the whigfield song, if you didn't think that was possible.
- listen to the hiss (tiefschwarz remix) - the wheeze/scream intro to this track was one of my fav sounds from 04. sweet track. i'm sad i've never been able to hear this on a really loud system, esp when it freaks out halfway through.

said: re: annie, i think you should have dumped chewing gum and maybe me plus one in favor of helpless fool for love, which remains my fav. track from the album... i like it better than heartbeats...
re: david wrench, after discovering that song at the very end of 2004, it rapidly became one of the most played songs on my laptop/mp3 player... still love it for all the reasons mentioned... have you heard anything by this dude, who is apparently a big albino?
