The Chemical Brothers – Swoon (Boys Noize Summer Mix)

Erol Alkan and Boys Noize released  Waves this past august. An Epic piece of electronica.

They then asked piano maestro Chilly Gonzales to create his own version of the track. Released today on itunes and Juno along with a 4 minute B-side of Gonzales explaining the story of how it came about.

And on a side note here’s the battle that Gonzales had with Andrew W.K this past September in New York. Equally as epic.

Also if you missed out on the Winnie TV Episode 7 with Andrew W.K., this is as good a time as ever to see what you missed out on.

Well, the year is almost officially over and it couldn’t come soon enough… it’s time for my TOP TWENTY SONGS OF 2008!

You know I’ve never been the kind of person who could say with full conviction which movie is my favourite of all time or what the best restaurant is. See, I find it will almost always be dependent on how you feel at that particular point in time.

Of course, music is the same way. Even the most mundane routine in your day to day life can be perfectly captured by some song. And that song at that exact moment is the best song there could be… (Garden State would not have been as good a movie without that amazing soundtrack)

So anyways, it goes without saying then that I had some difficulty selecting my TOP TWENTY.

There are definitely songs on my list that have been fully rinsed in 2008. But hey what can I say? I ain’t no snob… I’m a fan of pop music just as much as I am a fan of the indie and sub-pop jams.

I won’t bore you with a commentary on each track.
