I finally finished making my “TylerJamz 2009!1!!111!” mix. I will burn you a CD of you ask, mainly because I want to hear them wherever I go and that would help facilitate that.
1. Little Boots – Remedy
God damn that whore Lady Gaga stealing Little Boots thunder. I can’t believe I hear that fucking song Bulletproof by the other English dancepop tart in bars instead of this. God damn it, I can’t believe I just plugged it. Ladyhawke is kind of better, too, but not as easy on the eyes methinks (and her album came out in 2008). You’ll see more from Little Boots later on in this broadcast.
2. The Joy Formidable – Cradle
Oh Welsh indie pop, how I love you. (See also Los Campesinos!, Catatonia, Super Furry Animals). I like the big, bombastic opening and the bass slide that concludes it. Also, it appears I like blonde European chicks a lot? (See 1, 2, 3, 9, 11?)
3. The Asteroids Galaxy Tour – Around the Bend
I think I stole a bunch of Mette’s dance moves from this video. It’s pretty fun. AND YES, it was in an iPod commercial.
4. The Lonely Island featuring T-Pain – I’m on a Boat
Gah. It was everywhere. I love the wave motion with the arm and T-Pain just being in it. He was in the episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force where he played Frylock with a big french fry top hat. He makes me laugh.
5. Memory Cassette – Asleep at a Party
Dreamgaze is making a comeback? Check out A Sunny Day In Glasgow as well.
6. Micachu – Golden Phone
I wanted to make this my new ringtone. Fuck you Verizon. This video reminds me of Liz Lemon taping the beginning of Dealbreakers rofl
7. Neko Case – People Got a Lotta Nerve
Did you know you can buy this song as DLC on Rock Band 2? I bet I am the only person who has done so.
8. Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys – Empire State of Mind
ZOMG my new jam. Big lights will inspyah youuuuu!
9. Little Boots – New in Town
Thrilleresque dance breakdown? Yes plz. The first 6 tracks on her 2009 album Hands are, like, awesome.
10. Anamanaguchi – Blackout City
This the only good bitpop band…and the video kind of makes me want to ride a bike? While playing Mega Man II? What the fuck?
11. Kap Bambino – Dead Lazers
The singer is French, which makes her say some of the words really funny. I love it. ‘I want to see zose ded lay-zerz strouz da night!’
12. Fucked Up – Son the Father
Sometimes I do like to rock. But these guys are a hXc band from Canada…is that even possible? I think that puts them -cred more than Green Day’s accent.
13. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Young Adult Friction
oh boy 80s-sounding hipster fuck bands? Count me in. It’s like catnip for clones.
14. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Heads will Roll
This is an awesome song, but the first time I heard it I knew there was a better, chart-topping version in some remix of it. No one has done it yet. (I’m working on it, but I uh, suck? Perhaps you heard my dance remix of Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain?)
15. Ke$ha – Tik Tok
Just like Just Dance, I knew this song would blow up solely because it’s about some slutball going out and getting krunk’d. If it’s catchy, a song like that is number one with a bullet, sirs.
16. Passion Pit – Sleepyhead
It’s a speardog in a cave (a secret to everybody) why I like this song, right Stephanie?
17. Joker’s Daughter – Lucid
Everything Danger Mouse works on ends up sounding more or less the same, but this time it’s got a feathery-voiced English chanteuse?!? ZOMG–that’s like when Netflix suggests anything with Emma Watson! Fuck you, 1930′s ballet movies!!!!!!11
18. Micachu – Vulture
I like the carnivalness of the one part of this song. I call it ‘the carnival sounding part’.
19. Miike Snow – Animal
A song that I may or may not think is or is not awesome to make out to. Or not make out to…it’s a secret to everbody??
AND FINALLY (of course)
20. Party in the U.S.A. – Miley Cyrus Fucking Disney won’t let me embed. It’s kind of a sweet video that I just saw for the first time in a Chicagoland bar lol I really like how she has an Asian cowgirl friend. I think they revoke your AZN card if you ever put on cowboy boots. YOU LOSE, GIRL.
*EDIT: unless it’s to be Miley Cyrus’ friend. Then great honor to your famiry.
Burn me a copy! Or else…
