Dark & Shiny: A Pop Compilation

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

maybe we've done this, but I'm making myself a cd of the darker, eerier, weirder side of pop (for pop, read: anything shiny/beaty/bouncy). what i've got so far:
golden boy feat miss kitten - rippin kittin
m.r.i - when i was a child i could fly without wings
aphex twin - come to daddy
jay-z - snoopy track (not sure about this one. weird enough in sound, maybe not in content.)
eminem - either kim or 97 bonnie and clyde
possibly 'mr kirk's nightmare'.

what do you suggest?
