=X
oh i know anna. its not even a fun, bad song. its just bad.
This is awesome but small niggle is that the Ost & Kjex track that P4K rated 100 was actually the Mungolian Jet Set remix heard here: http://tinyurl.com/2dc65n
but I still thank you (and the wrangling cat) profusely for this!
Why on earth is LCD Soundsystem featured twice in the top 10? The whole Menomena album is better than both of their “hits.” I feel like they are nothing new, just rehashed shitty indie
yeah, i dont know. i dont dig em at all. i tried to get into their last record and it just wasnt my thing. i didnt even try this record even once. tried to get into the menomena record too, but didnt take either.
Lipgloss is a genius work of pop art. No joke. It manages to be irrefutably catchy through the use of two instruments, and is a blatant, clever, and subverted poke at modern american ideals.
i’m going to have to go ahead a disagree with you on this one colin. although i understand where you are coming from. there are plenty of intelligent and clever songs wrapped in silly pop song wrappers, but i just dont think this is the case with lipgloss.
[...] Captains Dead has posted the Pitchfork top 100 singles. Some good, some bad. But hey, what does it matter when you can just pick the ones you like. Tags: free music, indie [...]

im sorry but calling lcd soundysystem “rehashed shitty indie”? you are retarded.
So sad… I just spent a few days on and off downloading all these tracks from alternative locations. w00t!
