My tracks of the year, 35 through 31

35. Taylor Swift "You're Not Sorry"

Young woman doubts absent boyfriend's expressions of regret.

Sorrow causes her voice to break down into gristle and pus.

34. Vein f. Pitbull "Get Up Stand Up"

BRING YOUR ASS DOWN LIKE A NASDAQ.


33. Scooter "The Question Is What Is The Question"

Stadium boshers prefer bipedal propulsion to epistemology.


32. Mariah Carey f. Young Jeezy "Side Effects"

Divorcée recounts how husband tried to hold her radiance in reserve.


Said you were strong, protecting me; then I found out that you were weak, keeping me there under your thumb 'cause you were scared that I'd become much more than you could handle, shining like a chandelier that decorated every room inside the private hell we built.

31. Willie Nelson "You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore"

Classic witticisms fall from grace.

Haha A+ format. I exhaust myself just ordering the things that I can never find the creativity for a decent presentation format.

Of course it relies on theft.

Haven't decided if I'll stick with the hed and kicker style for all thirty-five or actually start to write paragraphs. The basic inspiration was "chandelier," which I'm sure doesn't surprise you.

I didn't want to do a bunch of YouTube embeds with shitty audio. Maybe I'll create a different format for each set of five. I was reading piratemoggy's and realized I wouldn't be able to match her flow of self. Maybe I should get drunk. Visual representations for some of what's coming may be a challenge.

Visual representations, even - especially! - tenuous ones, will be pretty fun though. The reason I just shoved up a list was b/c I just didn't have any more words to dredge up but I might steal this for next year, if I remember.
