Do you know who my favorite singer is to follow on Twitter? This may come as a shock. But Josh Groban. That dude is funnier that 90% of the comedians I follow, hands down. And to prove that, check out this hilarious clip of Groban on Jimmy Kimmel singing the tweets of Kanye West (that is to say if you haven’t already, it has over 1.5 million views). I was crying with laughter.
Happy Friday ya’ll.
Well, what can we say about 2010? It’s hard, you know, what with the mainstream sounding so bright and brash and ground-breaking and all. Whut, no. If all y’all kids were stuck on the knobs of pop radio, I don’t know what to tell you… But there was so much, too much to get caught up and in making this list, I felt like I was excising beloved children to the basement on Christmas Eve. Stay down there, Glasser, Lady Gaga, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.! Daddy will be down with a flashlight soon…
And with that my top 20 tracks of the year:
“I Can Change,” LCD Soundsystem: plaintive, yet sassy with that slippery beat, this track makes you want to shimmy up to a handsome stranger and please, please fall in love.
“Dancing On My Own,” Robyn: Robyn broke out of the gate with this track early in the year and set the bar precipitously high for every other pop star. Nothing has come close to knocking it from its rightful pedestal.
“USA Boys,” HEALTH: simply, a rolling thunderstorm of sex.
