Transcendental song that.
*looks up in dictionary*
yep.
My dictionary says a number that is not a root of any algebraic equation having integral coefficients
Which is exactly what I thought when I first heard this song.
Good list, Bob.
I eagerly await our 'Bob's Best Bits of 2010' downloadable CD, assuming it's going to be a mix from said albums?
Belle & Sebastian was on your boring list; how come? I just bought tix to their Sydney show next March.
Compare your list, Bob, to this lot.
Gah, someone actually included a Kanye West track as a top five song for 2010.
Some reasonable lists there Kettle, and some pretty bloody awful ones. I particularly bristled at the comment someone made that a list is pretentious if you don't know anyone on it. The implication being that if it's not top 40, you only like it to be cool. Blah.
And re B&S. They're ok. I have most of their albums, like them a lot, but I guess I'm not seeing anything new on this latest one. Same with Interpol and The National. Although maybe I will revisit the song Bloodbuzz Ohio given its ubiquitousness on those lists.
