Take a good look at my face, you’ll see my smile looks out of place, and if you look closer maybe you’ll trace, my tracks of the year in haiku form (I made this list very quickly, so please don’t shout)
10. ‘Scud Books‘ by Hudson Mohawke
The sound of pure joy
Being fed through meat grinders
God I love it so
9. ‘The Fire Rises‘ by Cannibal Ox
I wish the album had
Maybe just a few more tracks
Half as good as this
8. ‘It Ain’t That Easy’ by D’Angelo
Comes back with song that
Builds so astonishingly
And proves worth the wait
7. ‘Loud Places‘ by Jamie XX
When you hear a song
This divine, you wish Jamie
Would make all music
6. ‘Rock & Roll Is Cold‘ by Matthew E White
I think I love this
Ace song mainly because of
The way he says ‘shit’
5. ‘Hinterland‘ by Lonelady
In just five minutes,
Lonelady proves she can match
Her influences
4. ‘Huarache Lights‘ by Hot Chip
It’s raining outside
But I throw shapes to this song
Pretend I can dance
3. ‘Run Away With Me‘ by Carly Rae Jepson
The best song this year
To capture the joy of love
And being alive
2. ‘Fourth of July‘ by Sufjan Stevens
Not ashamed to say
On more than one occasion
It has made me cry
1. ‘Deliver‘ by Lupe Fiasco
A perfect marriage
Of words that cut deep that you
Can chant along to
