While making this album I noticed a couple of things:
Azita rules.
Animal Collective's Leaf House should be on the mix but for some reason I dislike them right now. Probably cause they smell. (Their first album is GRATE though)
2003 was a much better year for pop. I quickly realized that most of the tracks that immediately came to mind were from last year. I guess this makes sense since this year has flown by so quickly. Seriously, the last month I remember was March. Quite depressing. It sucked thinking of a song and putting it on my list only having to double check if it really came out this year. Such songs include: The New Pornographers' The Laws Have Changed, Deerhoof's Dummy Discard's A Heart, Steve Malkmus' Vanessa from Queens, Luke Vibert's I Love Acid, The Rapture's House of Jealous Lovers, Beth Gibbon's Tom the Model, Outkast's Hey Ya, Ween's Tried and True, Parsley Sounds' Erase Yourself and Glide, Super Furry Animal's Hello Sunshine, Ted Leo/Pharmacists' Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone?, Dinbot's Whipsta (google it). Mixtape that, motherfuckers.
Oh and speaking of mixes, that Hollertronix made a good one.
I listen to more avant guard music than pop. (hint, hint.)
Fran is heartbroken but wants to dance!
