Song[s] of the year '07

[mattedling]

Low - Hatchet
 St. Vincent - Your Lips are Red
 Budos Band - His Girl
 
 I also really liked Feist's One, Two, Three, Four (though it did get a little old once it was all over tv)

[xneverwherex]

The Bishop Allen song came out on their July 2006 EP.

Christ, this happens every year. Stop being so pedantic. First of all, it doesn't freaking matter wheter a song is "new" or "new to you".
 
 Second of all its on an album released in July of 2007, which is probably how the majority of people came across it, not on some inside baseball, "hey lets release an EP every month in 2006" project.

well if allmy$$ claims its the best song of the year 07 and perhaps a fan of the band - he'd know they released the song in 06 - on yes their full year of EPs. We are talking about song of the year - not album of the year.

I'm about to have the fucking yawn of the year.
 
 Weren't these songs technically reworked for the new full-length?  In that case, isn't it a new recording that wasn't available in 2006?
 
 And why are you questioning allmy$$'s fan-ness?  Just because he may or may not have had the time to check out one of the 400 kajillion 2006 releases that were hyped online?  Give me a break.

and i nver saw any mention of that song being reworked - just that a bunch of songs from the EP made the cut. was just an observation and probably the fact that ive been listening to that song forever that i knew it wasnt released in 07.
 
 next time ill shut up and go with the masses because you obviously know a lot more about music than me.

Thank you!  Now if the rest of you would cave and realize this simple fact, the world would be a much better place...

 apples in stereo - can you feel it?
 spoon - rhythm and soul
 arcade fire - intervention
 against me! - thrash unreal
 klaxons - golden skans
 panda bear - bros
 blitzen trapper - country caravan

BIG time second to Klaxons.  That's an amazing single.  Catchy as anything released this year.
 
 Intervention is up there, but Keep the Car Running is the Arcade Fire track that I'd pick.
 
 Peter, Bjorn and John's Young Folks is definitely on my list.
 
 Some others to throw out there:
 
 Radiohead - Reckoner
 Roisin Murphy - Overpowered
 Justice - D.A.N.C.E.
 Georgie James - Cake Parade
 LCD Soundsystem - North American Scum
 The National - Fake Empire
 The Field - Everday

THE VIRGINS - RICH GIRLS

and, for the love of christ, the PB&J record came out in 2006.

I was just listening to Faust's Four yesterday, it's pretty good

[brennser]

I believe the US release was 2007, it was import only in 06, no?
