Honorable Mention
Mark Lanegan – Night Flight To Kabul (Old fashion darkwave but the singing and looks…ouch)
LCD Soundsystem - Seconds (cover of The Human League - about JFK’s
murder but also makes think of John Lennon)
Todrick Hall - Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels – (duh)
The National - Light Years (I love this music but maybe this
year wasn’t an emotional depth moment)

My 12 favorite songs of the year
12. Wedding Bell Blues, Morrissey and Billie Joe
Armstrong – Oh Bill, I love you so. I
always will.
11. Hospitalized, Broods – This bass is nutritious,
tasty and delicious, exceptionally vicious
10. Really Don’t Like U, Tove Lo with Kylie Minogue -
Really, I just don't like you…Look
prettier than I do tonight
9. Hand Solo, Marika Hackman - When I go blind, will you keep in mind, I
had fun, I got it on, endorphins…I gave it all, but under patriarchal
law, I'm gonna die a virgin
8. Lark, Angel Olsen - If only we could start again,
pretending we don’t know each other
7. Harmony Hall, Vampire Weekend – Anger wants a
voice, voices want to sing, singers harmonize ‘til they can’t hear anything
6. Fine Mess, Interpol - I’d like to tour the 80’s
but I got sideswiped and came right to ‘78
5. The Greatest, Lana Del Rey – The culture is lit,
and if this is it, I had a ball. I guess
I was burned out after-all.
4. Juice, Lizzo – I
be drippin' so much sauce got a been lookin' like RAGĂ
3. Cellophane, FKA Twigs – I don't want to have to share our love. I try, but I get overwhelmed…When
you're gone, I have no one to tell

2. Give Stupidity A Chance, Pet Shop Boys – Intelligent people have had their say,
it's time for the foolish to show the way (etc., etc., etc., etc.
– I suggest reading the lyrics word for word)
________________________________________________________________________
1. Dawn Chorus, Thom Yorke - If you could do it all again
(So powerful, no lyrics are
even necessary)
