TOP 25 SONGS OF THE PAST YEAR: 5 - 1





TOP 25 SONGS OF THE PAST YEAR





5. “Goth Star” - Pictureplane

“The bombastic emotion of the original Stevie Nicks vocal, even here, tweaked to an inch of its life, feels completely real. Surrounding the sample is a huge, glittery, lurching groove, basically commanding you to fall into line behind it” — Pitchfork

4.   “Glawio” - Com Truise

“His pealing synthesizers reveal an artist who’s logged many hours immersed in Vangelis’ sound-world for ‘Blade Runner’, while his shuddering beats are unrepentantly nostalgic for the glory days of ’80s electro-funk — as heard through lysergic, rose-tinted headphones.” — Rhapsody

3.   “Despicable Dogs (Washed Out remix)” - Small Black

“This remix turns the original slower and woozier and adds an extra layer of wistfulness to the vocals.” — Pitchfork

2.   “Acid Reign (In the Trees mix)” - Violens

“Consider it a musical take on sobbing in the stall at prom, with easy-listening riffs, harsh-reality sentiments, and a teary, gossamer refrain. ” — RCRD LBL

1.   “Deadbeat Summer (Toro y Moi remix)” - Neon Indian

“Orbiting around the themes of drug induced heartbreak, weary afternoons, and lost chances, this music provides a lush soundtrack to the deadbeat exploits of teenage ennui.” — RCRD LBL

“Oh my God…It’s full of stars…” Eschewing the normal radtastic post fulla music, today I’d like to redirect you to a brilliantly written list on Listverse, possibly the internet’s best list-oriented variety site this side of Cracked or Oddee. Featuring a stable editor and army of moderators, Listverse often publishes user-submitted lists, after some tidying up, of course. This particular list, entitled “Top 10 Kubrick Stares” references an odd, but of course oft-used technique by the trailblazing filmmaker Stanley Kubrick: the thousand-yard stare.Evoking a range of emotions from aloofness to heartless evil, the “Kubrick stare” is a motif that begs a certain degree of worship. Waste no time and read this short, but carefully crafted list. The number one entry will blow you away. Afterwards, peep the site some. If you like what you see, consider buying one of their books from their bookstore or at your friendly, local brick-and-mortar bookstore. Do tha right thing! View Larger
