Top Singles 2009, Three Quarters Through

[koganbot]

On the charts it was the worst quarter since the Kansas-Nebraska Act; but, while dance-pop and r&b were tossing us candy-scented stinkbombs, a regular quota of pretty good stuff came in from wherever (country, grime, jerkin, and, I guess, dance and pop). Unfortunately, none of the new stuff got near the top of my list. Strange summer, good music coming in quantity, but the outlook uneasy.

The newbies include:

Tempa T "Next Hype": Guy on edge, starts baying, promises violence and vandalism, the promises coming so quick they fall atop one another like Keystone Cops.

Biggie Smalls Vs. Miley Cyrus "Party And Bullshit In The USA": The mashup works 'cause Luke's* pretty little gtr. lick is rhythmic enough to set up Biggie's virtuosity. The mix punches sound in and out for quick drama.

(*Presumably; I haven't seen the credits, but guitar is his instrument.)

Audio Push "Teach Me How To Jerk": Amused teens stroll through cut-rate house of horrors.

Cold Flamez "Miss Me, Kiss Me, Lick Me": More such teens; the track sounds about what you'd expect from hip-hop that goes, "Miss me, kiss me, now she wanna lick me/Seductive, got me walkin' 'round with a stiffie."

The candy scent was generally fine until this summer, when everything went to goo.

Tracks 69 through 71 constitute the "Whoa! This is what we call music?" section.

Me n my bitches up in the club

Oops, forgot Eve & Benga. Here's where you can read what we said on Jukebox. And here's where you can listen.

And this.

I think Shystie is still my number 1 at the moment. I am desperate for an mp3 of the video edit though (i.e. PLEASE RELEASE THE GODDAMN SONG NAO SO I CAN BUY IT PLS), it's so much fiercer than the twiddly Spanish guitar heavy extended mix.

[koganbot]

Unfortunately, I've only got the twiddly mix (which is plenty powerful, and I've grown to love it, but like you I wish I could find the video edit).
