2008 Top 20 Tracks… according to Flores

storm

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.

Here are twenty 2008 tracks that have stood out to me… haters, get your hate on:

20. Metronomy – A Thing For Me (Mad Decent’s B-Live Miami Mix)

19. Matt & Kim – Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare

18. Santogold – Say Aha (Tepr Remix)

17. The Kills – Cheap and Cheerful

16. Ratatat – Mirando (YACHT Remix)

15. Portishead – Machine Gun

14. Friend – Secret

13. Mike Jones ft Lil Wayne – I Done Did It

12. Feist – I Feel It All (Escort Remix)

11. Radiohead – Reckoner (Diplo Remix)

10. Kid Cudi – Day ‘N Nite (Crookers Remix)

9. Lykke Li – Little Bit (CSS Remix)

8. Lil Wayne – A Milli (Say-Wut Remix)

7. Ladyhawke – Paris Is Burning (Cut Copy Remix)

6. Treasure Fingers – Cross The Dancefloor (Chromeo Remix)

5. Kings Of Leon – Sex On Fire

4. Crystal Castles – Courtship Dating

3. Friendly Fires ft Au Revoir Simone – Paris (Aeroplane Remix)

2. Empire Of The Sun – Walking On A Dream

1. Cut Copy – Lights & Music (Boys Noize Happy Birthday Remix)

Goodbye to the year that was… brighter days ahead?

And now, a message from radiohead

To coincide with asking radio stations to think about playing “Reckoner” we are breaking up the tune into pieces for you to remix. After the insane response we got from the “Nude” remix stems and the site that was dedicated to your remixes…

Unique visitors: 6,193,776, Page Views: 29,090,134, Hits: 58,340,512, Bandwidth: 10.666 Terabytes, Number of mixes: 2,252, Number of votes: 461,090, Number of track listens: 1,745,304

…we thought it only fair to do the same with a tune that at least is in 4/4. You can get the stems (the different instruments/elements) from here

Sample, cut, take the sounds, whatever. Play it in a club. Or your room. Then if you want you can upload your finished mixes to http://www.radioheadremix.com and be judged by everyone else. You can create a widget allowing votes from your own site, Facebook or MySpace to be sent through too. To start things off we asked James Holden and Diplo to do their versions.

Oh, and by the way, if you weren’t lucky enough to get your hands on one of our recycled plastic bottle shirts at a show this summer, you’ll be glad to hear we’ve made some more and they are available at thew.a.s.t.e. shop here

All at w.a.s.t.e x

the interview show: Isis

Isis has been described as “the thinking man’s metal band.” Others say the band has a Tool-lite, post-metal sound. This is a pretty easy comparison—since the band are friends with Tool— and I am not sure if I would agree. However, Isis does have a sound that is hard to pin down, and their music easily defies genre conventions. The band also draws praise because it draws from literary influences like Don Quixote and philosopher Jeremy Bentham.

When I asked Clifford Meyer and Aaron Harris from the band how something in their recent life did not live up to their expectations—alluding to Quixote—both of them deftly sidestepped any personal answers and talked about music. Meyer was disappointed in the Jay-Z American Gangster record. And Harris didn’t feel that Radiohead ’s In Rainbows lived up to the hype. There is just something great thinking about the guys from Isis listening to art rock and hip hop. (Note, more true to expectations, Meyer was reading the dark 90s indie comic book The Maxx.)

Isis is celebrating 10 years in the game. Not many post-metal bands make it that far, and both of the guys were happy to share pieces of their journey.

Next week, we return with Swedish indie-electronic act Lo-Fi-Fnk!
