2007: Wide Stance

Seems to me that most of the year’s good songs were best heard in the context of entire albums. In other words, not a great year for the single. Still, here are some of the better tunes you (probably) won’t find in my somewhat overdue list of my favorite oh-seven LPs (TK soon, I promise).

1. Justice: "D.A.N.C.E."

As the poster says, "Good clip!"



2. Peter, Bjorn, and John: "That Whistling Song"

Remember the A-Ha video? This is almost like that.



3. Klaxons: "Golden Skans"

For some reason, Universal Music Group disabled the embed feature on the official YouTube post of this video, which is also copyright 2006. So maybe this isn’t from this year? Or that cool? Still.



4. Feist – "1, 2, 3, 4"

But what now what do I do with all these iPod Nanos?



5. Rihanna ft Jay-Z – "Umbrella"

I don’t even like this song that much. But if you’re karaoke-ing at home ...
