― Washable School Paste (sexyDancer), Thursday, 30 March 2006 19:06 (twenty years ago)

I haven't heard anything commercial this year that hasn't been either half-arsed or outright obnoxious (or both- see The Streets: When You Wasn't Famous, jus cos its deliberately crap doesn't make it any the the less crap...)--- waiting for some stunningly original R'n'B summer tune to knock my block off popwise... is there any chance of that happening? That Gnarls Barkley tune isn't so bad, until you hear it used as a ring tone 70 times in one week and it becomes totally insufferable... (such a flat, obvious drum beat, such a tired chord progression, such a dull bass rhythm...)

for more ideas
Rolling 2006 singles thread

― sovietpanda (sovietpanda), Thursday, 30 March 2006 22:23 (twenty years ago)

Anything by Marit Larsen, I think. Has she actually released any singles this year though?

― Harrison Barr (Petar), Thursday, 30 March 2006 22:28 (twenty years ago)

"Don't Save Me" is a single in Norway.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 30 March 2006 22:29 (twenty years ago)

In all honesty given what I've listen to this year this should be a dancehall only list, but I'll try to think of recent non-Jamaican stuff I've quite liked.

Cecile "Bun Rapist"
Baby Cham "Ghetto Story"
Sizzla "Oh Yes"
Capleton "Toppa Tings"
Gregory Isaacs "Gone A Jail (DJ C Remix)"
Kode9 & Spaceape "Fukkaz"
Rhythm & Sound "Let We Go (Villalobos Remix)"
T.I. "What You Know"
Busta Rhymes & the rest "Touch It (Remix)"
JME "AWOH"

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 30 March 2006 22:56 (twenty years ago)

I'm sorry - and I say this as a delays fan who firmly believes that Seaside Glamour will eventually make it towards the top of many a top 10/100 list - but just listening to that song for the first time and can not get over that godforsaken beat! Everything else about it.... yes. Brilliant. Greg Gilbert is pretty cool but compared to previous work I'm a little disappointed. Maybe it's a grower.

― uptoeleven (uptoeleven), Friday, 31 March 2006 03:12 (twenty years ago)

Pier Bucci - "Tita" ... does that count?

― Cameron Octigan (Cameron Octigan), Friday, 31 March 2006 03:15 (twenty years ago)

I think the Rolling thread has done its duty here, but Silent Shout. Definitely one of the best o the year thus far.

― trees (treesessplode), Friday, 31 March 2006 04:21 (twenty years ago)

1. Rihanna, "S.O.S."
2. Mary J. Blige, "Be Without You"
3. Mary J. Blige & U2, "One"
4. Ne-Yo, "So Sick"
5. Sean Paul, "Temperature"
6. Chris Brown, "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)"
7. Stereolab, "Excursions Into 'oh, a-oh' "
8. Animators, "Buy Buy"
9. Prince, "Black Sweat" (it's grown on me a lot in repeat listens)
10. Fall Out Boy, "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me"

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Friday, 31 March 2006 05:12 (twenty years ago)

I haven't heard a lot of singles I like this year. But Clockwork is really good.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Friday, 31 March 2006 05:20 (twenty years ago)

1. Morningwood - Nth Degree

THERE IS NO TWO TO NINE

http://www.80s.com/saveferris/images/ferris/over.jpg

IT'S OVER! GO HOME! GO!

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!! (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Friday, 31 March 2006 05:24 (twenty years ago)

Half of these might well actually be back end of '05, but...

1.) Baby Cham - "Ghetto story"
2.) The knife - "Silent Shout"
3.) My My - "Serpentine"
4.) Theo Parrish - "Falling up" (Carl Craig remix)
5.) JME - "Awoh"

(it's way too early for 10)

― Jacob (Jacob), Friday, 31 March 2006 05:25 (twenty years ago)

White Stripes' "Denial Twist" is the only new thing I've liked on the radio recently.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 31 March 2006 05:40 (twenty years ago)

1. Rick Rubin - Spank Rock

8. Adventure - Be Your Own Pet
9. We Are Not The Same - The Good Shoes
10. All Too Human - The Rakes

i'm not sure that 'Tusk' counts as a single, and at least a couple of those songs have been around since last year, though they were released as singles this year in the UK. i don't care - i play by my own goddamn rules. i'm a maverick.

"Freejazz" by the Envelopes - new to me, what does that sound like (I suspect it does not actually sound like free jazz, but I stand to be corrected)?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 31 March 2006 10:18 (twenty years ago)

Prince-black sweat

The Eastsidaz-bacc on the blocc

LL Cool J + Freeway-what you want

Rick Ross-hustlin'

Ghostface-back like that (this ended up being better than 95% of the album)

Ghostface-the champ (promo 12" with both versions on)

Curtains-that's what it is (worst rapper name ever tho)

50 Cent, MOP-i'll whup ya head, boy remix

Too $hort-blow the whistle

Rhymefest-dynomite (this dude is a Scribble Jam herb but fuck it when the beat is this hot)

― Fat Assantino, Friday, 31 March 2006 11:43 (twenty years ago)

'Monochrome vigilante/Smacked and adandoned' - The Articles. Oh shit, that's by me.

Er The Knife and Hot Chip are both pretty good.I know it's a re-release, but does Ladyflash count?

― Jamie T Smith (Jamie T Smith), Friday, 31 March 2006 11:47 (twenty years ago)

I forgot, the Mark Ronson 'Just' thing. That is aces. And is that Max Tundra Franz remix actually a b-side or anything, cos that's cool. As is the dfa remix of slide in.

Can't manage 10.

― Jamie T Smith (Jamie T Smith), Friday, 31 March 2006 11:51 (twenty years ago)

"Freejazz" by the Envelopes - new to me, what does that sound like (I suspect it does not actually sound like free jazz, but I stand to be corrected)?
-- Marcello Carlin (marcellocarli...), March 31st, 2006.

Fortunately it's not free jazz. Summery, francophile Swedish indie pop. Sweet.

― zeus (zeus), Friday, 31 March 2006 12:11 (twenty years ago)

Ah good, that means I don't have to bother with it. Unfortunately, you see, I wanted it to be free jazz.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 31 March 2006 12:16 (twenty years ago)

That's too bad.

― zeus (zeus), Friday, 31 March 2006 12:23 (twenty years ago)

No, I think you'll find Gary Numan did that one.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 31 March 2006 12:25 (twenty years ago)

Hot Chip - Over and Over
The Knife - Silent Shout
Minilogue - The Girl From Botany Bay
My My - Serpentine
Ricardo Villalobos - Iscso
Betty Botox - Opa Loka

Goldfrapp – Ride A White Horse
Secret Machines – Lightning Blue Eyes
Cat Power - Living Proof

― Treblekicker (treblekicker), Friday, 31 March 2006 12:35 (twenty years ago)

many of these are not really singles and many are not really 2006, and the order is so far from definitive it should maybe be ignored:

1. lily allan - LDN
2. leanne kingwell - holding your gun
3. pitbull featuring ying yang twins, elephant man, and george kranz - shake (remix)
4. aly & aj - rush
5. b-star - bootleg dreams
6. nikki cleary - summertime guys
7. shooter jennings - hair of the dog
8. samantha joe - time for summer
9. huck johns - oh yeah
10. redhill - all night long

(e-40 has at least four songs on his album that, as of right now, i prefer to "tell me when to go," but maybe that belongs here too.)

― xhuxk, Friday, 31 March 2006 12:44 (twenty years ago)

Can't really say I think much in terms of "singles" these days. But the Gnarls Barkley thing is the only one so far this year that got me sitting bolt upright in a "WTF?" fashion when I first heard it, much as "1 Thing" did almost exactly a year ago.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 31 March 2006 12:45 (twenty years ago)

LDN - Lily Allen
Dirty Little Secret - All American Rejects
Kooks - Naive
Artic Monkeys - There Whole Album
Fall out Boy - Sugar We're Going Down (was that last Year?)

― Jack Marshall, Tuesday, 4 April 2006 10:05 (twenty years ago)

Gnarls Barkley is almost a mash-up of Mr Scruff's 'Get A Move On' and Quannum's 'I Changed My Mind' - which is why it works perhaps.

3-Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous Girl

10-Prince - Black sweat

― Sami (Sami), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 11:14 (twenty years ago)
