11/04/2005: "Talking About Music and Stuff"

So it's official -

VKLJ's Track of the Year is "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" by Death Cab For Cutie. Sorry to Gwen Stefani's "Cool" and Wolfman's (ft. Pete Doherty) "For Lover's" who will now be fighting for the 2nd place spot. Unless Badly Drawn Boy comes out with "Silent Sigh pt. 2" or Blur writes the sequel to "Tender," I'm sticking with Mr. Gibbard.

Some other good tracks I've been listening to of late - "Magic Works" by Jarvis Cocker and Radiohead, otherwise known as the Wyrd Sisters, otherwise known as the Harry Potter Song, "Number One" by Goldfrapp, "The Greatest" by Cat Power, "Get Big" by Okkervil River, "Don't Lose Touch" by Against Me!, "Hate It or Love It" by the Game, "Golddigger" by Kanye West, and 2 leaked songs leaked from the upcoming Strokes album "First Impressions of Earth." The songs are "Razor Blade" and "I'll Try Anything Once" which may or may not be the proper track names. Youth Group's cover of Aphaville's "Forever Young" is good too, but is disqualified from the list because it was used on "The OC," a show I used to like, but cannot watch anymore because it reminds of things that I would rather not be reminded of.

Post your favorite track of the year in the comments section to affirm how fucking hipster you are. Did I just say hipster? Was I being ironic?

"I will follow you into the dark" is a great song. Another favorite of mine from that album is "crooked teeth".

hmm i think my favorite track of the year is "all the things i've done" by the killers but it's also thousands of 13 year old girls' favorite as well. i don't know if i qualify as a hipster then.
