While waiting to finish writing an effing post about my “Best singles of 2008″, I thought it would have been nice to post something even more useless and silly.
And so..

THE SINGLES AWARDS

“BEST TITLE” Award:
THE BOXING LESSONS: Dark side of the MOOG

“SINGLE EVERYBODY LOVED BUT ME” Award:
HOT CHIP: Ready for the floor

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE: I will possess your heart (sorry, but I don’t see all this magic everyone sees.. okay, now kill me!)
CSS: Rat is dead (here in PTBJ)

“I CAN’T HELP MURMURING THE WORDS OF THIS CHORUS ALL DAY” Award:
LADYTRON: Ghost

“UUUHHH.. THIS SONG PRETTY MUCH REMINDS ME OF..” Award:
BE YOUR OWN PET: Do the locomot.., no. er.. Becky.

“MOST OVERRATED SINGLE BY NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS” Award:
GLASVEGAS - Geraldine
(most overrated BAND of the year. This time Alan McGee went totally wrong)

“SINGLE WITH ITS TITLE MORE REPEATED IN.. THE SINGLE ITSELF” Award:

NOTWIST: Where In This World

“UNIQUENESS IRREPARABLY GONE MAINSTREAM” Award:

I need a stylish way to put an end to this list. And so..
