Songs worthy

Looking back on the best songs of the 'oughts as I guess we're calling them, I thought I could add my top songs of the decade. Going forward, I want to start posting daily things that I find that I like. I have the best taste in the universe, so you're all very lucky to have this blog. You're welcome.

Songs- (in no particular order)

John Wayne Gacy Jr- Sufjan Stevens

Heartwrenching, painful, disturbing, beautiful.

Rebellion (lies)- Arcade Fire

The best song to sleep, or not sleep to. Probably my favorite song, ever.

Take me to the Riot- Stars

"Saturday nights in neon lights, Sunday in the cell. Pills enough to make me feel ill, Cash enough to make me well"

Love Lost- The Temper Trap

"I know it's hard, but I can still hear it beating. So if you flash your heart, I won't mistreat it, I promise"

A&E- Goldfrapp

Off their 2008 album, Seventh Tree, this song is probably one of the best recovery songs ever. Clear, pure vocals with a synthy, yet still folksy backing melody showcases this band's true versatility.

Airplanes- Local Natives

Barely making it into the oughts, this band has a freaking HUGE amount of potential. When their album, Gorilla Manor, drops in the US, hopefully sometime this year I think it's going to generate a lot of buzz really quickly.

Strangers in the Wind- Cut Copy

"Run to the lights of the city, These moments will pass and we'll be there" So gay for that.

Colourless Colour- La Roux

"Early nineties decor, it was a day for. We wanted to play but we had nothing left to play for. Colourless colour. Once in fashion and soon to be seen."

Mr. Brightside- The Killers

Go ahead, take away my hipster membership card, I wasn't using it anyways. That's not true. But seriously though, this song was great. In the days before Brandon Flowers got all mormon and crap, The Killers were a really great band, and this song was amazing when it came out. Judge me, I dare you.

Get it Faster- Jimmy Eat World

Honestly, this album almost made it on the best albums list simply because it was really my first introduction to decent music. Argue with me on that one if you want, but this band really opened a lot of doors for me. This song is just angry, angsty, sexy, and dirty. Everything I wanted out of music at the age of 14.

The C.N. Tower Belongs to the Dead- Final Fantasy

Simply amazing. One time I had a dream that my friend Ryan and I were being chased by zombies in the C.N. Tower. I blame Owen Pallett, my future husband. (Can I say that enough)

Hospital Beds- Cold War Kids

"Put out the fire boys, don't stop, don't stop. Bring the buckets by the dozens, bring your nieces and your cousins. Put out the fire on us."

This Modern Love- Bloc Party

I don't think I can accurately describe how important this song is to me.

My Boy Builds Coffins- Florence and the Machine

"My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor, Kings and Queens have all knocked on his door. Beggars and liars, Gypsies and thieves. They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please!"

How it Ends- Devotchka

I will die to this song. period.
