we're three months into 2008, what are your five favorite singles so far?

grind mode- i'm so high

is this the al green sampling joint? old, dog

i don't know much al green so maybe. i first started hearing it around january so i figure it was done in '07 but it started to break this year

it doesn't sound like it has any samples tho

The Juan Maclean, "Happy House"
Janet Jackson, "Rock With U"
Ne-Yo, "Closer"
Kid Sister, "Pro Nails"
Wiley, "Wearing My Rolex"

I'm kinda into this Whigs tune, actually - "Right Hand on My Heart" - kinda like the last ten years never happened (in a good way)

heard that wiley one last night, fits in with wiz khalifa/pretty rave girl kinda

'haterz everywhere' too

Late pass, dude. I heard that like a year ago.

if wiz khalifa isnt in your top 5 you dont like music

haterz everywhere is from summer

lot of Southern stuff from last year that broke national this year that I think is fair game for '08 -- "Haterz Everywhere," "Umma Do Me," "Dey Know," "Independent," etc.

yeah i just meant in terms of rave/rap amalgamation

i mean i was a dick to people about having a late pass on "Throw Some D's" being '07, but that song was actually all over MTV/BET the year before, these songs weren't. or maybe "Independent" was, I don't remember. (xpost)

umma do me= >_<

"Haterz Everywhere" has broke? Wasn't aware of that.

if it's more fun to pronounce the name of your song than it is to listen to it you lose

is that bad? I don't even understand half of the emoticons y'all use anymore. but if that's bad I agree.

I didn't have a tv at all for most of that year.

haha yeah it's a mad face

bump

since when don't ilm dudes wanna babble in list form about shit they like

nah bro that's mostly on the other board now

right right

Lost Trailers – “Holler Back”
Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons – “Beggin’ (Piloski Edit)”
Miley Cyrus – “See You Again”
Paramore – “Misery Business”
Soulja Boy feat. Arab – “Yahh”

only five :(

let's see:

Mariah Carey - Touch My Body/Remix
Stuey Rock - Nymphomaniac
Jordin & Chris - No Air
Wynter Gordon - Surveillance
Rich Ross - The Boss

maybe? I dunno.

chuck that paramore song the definition of LAST YEAR.

actually replace "surveillance" with "customer" by raheem devaughn

the accidental - knock knock
strawberry whiplash - who's in your dreams
i was a cub scout - pink squares
northern portrait - the fallen aristocracy
yellow moon band - maybach

"five" "singles"
Jordin Sparks feat. Chris Brown - No Air
Cupid feat. B.o.B. - 369
The Juan Maclean - Happy House
Hercules and the Love Affair feat. Antony - Blind
Mighty Infamous feat. Big Face, Mike Smoove - Duck Down
Big Boi, Andre 3k, Raekwon - Royal Flush
David Archuleta - Shop Around/You're the Voice/We Can Work It Out
Mariah Carey - Touch My Body

techno:
raudive "resistor" (drumcode)
tom ellis "apophenia" (archipel)
intrusion / reflexion / echospace#7 (echospace - detroit)
stl "lost in brown eyes" (perlon)
sebbo "watamu beach" (desolat)

radio (these might not be totally current, just what's been catching my ear lately):
playaz circle "duffle bag boy"
estelle "american boy" (despite the kanye verse)
hot styles "lookin boy"
rick ross "the boss"
re-up gang "show you how to hustle"

Top 10 (not sure about order):
Gonzales - Working Together
T2 feat Addicted - Gonna Be Mine
Jordin Sparks feat. Chris Brown - No Air
Mariah Carey - Lovin' You Long Time
The Juan Maclean - Happy House
Mighty Infamous feat. Big Face, Mike Smoove - Duck Down
Hercules and the Love Affair feat. Antony - Blind
Cupid feat. B.o.B. - 369
Mariah Carey - Touch My Body
Wiley - Wearing My Rolex

I love all these songs, but this list looks strange to me. I feel like last year's bunch were much more well-known, whereas almost all of these (with the obvious exceptions of Mariah and Jordin) are probably going to stay under the radar (esp. "369," "Duck Down" and maybe "Working Together")

saw the video on 106 & park

I hear "Diamond Girl" on the radio so much I'm really kinda surprised it's not higher on the charts yet.

love theme - fred falke
a man - daniel dreier and lee jones
swahili - mathias kaden
10 jahre war - ziggy kinder
16th stage - osborne
death is not final - shackleton ft. vengence tenford

Cahill - Trippin on You (Wawa Radio Edit) / (Wideboys London Mix)
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love (Moto Blanco Vocal Club Mix)
Mariah Carey - Touch My Body
Git Fresh - Booty Music
Deadmau5 - I Remember

ponytail- celebrate the body electric
wiley- wearing my rolex
young jeezy ft. kanye west- put on
grind mode- i'm so high
the juan maclean- happy house

also: "hair braider", "say yeah", "touch my body"

Snoop Dogg f/ Too $hort and Mistah F.A.B. - "Life Of Da Party"

i initially thought this was awful but i heard it mixed into every radio dj's 5 O CLOCK RUSH HOUR MIX when i was home and it really grew on me

yellow moon band - maybach
kaputt - family tree
thomas tantrum - swan lake
northern portrait - crazy
domino state - whats the question

Cassie's "Official Girl" + stuff above

also like Keri Hilson's "Energy," Portishead's "Machine Gun" and Annie's "I Know Yr Girlfriend Hates Me"

top 5 since then:

i'm so high
bongo jam
google me
machine gun
don't touch me

'say yeah'
'honey'
'who's the man'
'a milli' or 'lollipop', cant decide which
'foolish'

my real obvious list

that crazy couzins edit that kicked off the funky house thread should probably be in there

'honey'
'who's the man'

what are these

erykah badu
trae + zro

the other day on the radio some dude mixed kanye's 'put on' verse->kanye's 'lollipop' verse->birdman's 'foolish' verse and it was so awz

at the end of the year i want someone to make a long-ass mix of rapper's gone autotune

anyway "foolish" is a jam, and this time he was smart enough not to recruit 7 better rappers for the remix

jazmine sullivan - need u bad
junior gong - the mission
lloyd - girls around the world
stuey rock - nymphomaniac
ursher & beyonce - luv in this club pt. 2

maybe

could someone post a version of foolish remix without djs/air horns/drops

lloyd - girls around the world
ursher & beyonce - luv in this club pt. 2

^^i really was let-down by both of these originally but they both grew on me pretty recently, esp. wayne's verses on both

stuck in my head like a melooodyy

also like Keri Hilson's "Energy"

I'm not convinced, but the writeups in Entertainment Weekly make some of the other songs sound like they'll be great.

i want to go back in time and make every birdman verse ever autotuned, it improves him by like five hundered fold

at any rate i'll take a robot devoid of personality any day over a human devoid of personality

thanks.

i instantly loved wayne's verse on 'girls around the world,' his verse on litc2 kind of bothered me until recently because it seems totally unnecessary

like now that i think about it there probably isn't any bad rapper more fit for autotune than birdman

it's like he stopped cross-dressing and finally got a full robot sex-change

his verse on litc2 kind of bothered me until recently because it seems totally unnecessary

i thought this too until i realized that i was going around singing "act like two dang foools" all the time

lol @ khaled on the "foolish" remix

lol @ khaled on the "foolish" remix

I missed the greatness in most of the singles mentioned above.

1. Duffy, "Mercy"
2. Mike Doughty, "Fort Hood"
3. Jason Mraz, "I'm Yours"
4. Hercules and Love Affair, "Blind"
5. Rihanna, "Take a Bow"

Tim, what did you think of "Honey"?

Don't think I've heard it yet - will check.

erup - click mi finger
solange - sandcastle disco

love these two.

Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma
Cyrus - See You Again
Usher - Love in This Club Pt. 2 (tho I like Moving Mountains + Trading Places more)
P!ATD - Nine in the Afternoon
Hot Chip - Ready for the Floor

There's probably some singles I like more than these, but since I heard mostly in the context of the album, I can't list them off-hand. That Rihanna album is a problem for me - cause I was addicted to the whole thing last year, but I don't think I've heard it at all this year.

i like that there's no "umbrella"/"all my friends" obvious singles poll winner just yet

i was just going to say 'wait until june' & then i remembered IT IS JUNE damn i thought it was like march or something

Whoa, forgot Kleerup/Lykke Li - "Until We Bleed" (Cello version)

Top 5 songs of the year (most would be the 'singles' off their respective albums, i think):

Animal Collective - Water Curses
Gutter Twins - All Misery/Flowers
M83 - Kim and Jessie
Portishead - Machine Gun
Raveonettes - Aly, Walk with Me
