If I was to tell you that MGMT - Kids was a song of the year and you were to respond “but Fraser, you only discovered that song two short days ago” you would be correct.
I share that song for a few reasons: (i) I’m totally addicted to it right now; (ii) Ken sent me an email saying “always appreciate the exposure to new tunes” and I don’t want to let him down with this entry; and, (iii) there’s a part of me that feels I should be embarrassed about the number 8 song of the year.
Do you ever get guilty pleasures that bubble up from unexpected places? I do. And the number 8 song is definitely one of them.
Follow along with me: I was listening to Stern and Duran Duran played Hungry Like the Wolf, a song I love, to promote their new song (album?). I picked up a copy of their greatest hits to listen to an old guilty pleasure and in the process discovered this song, a new guilty pleasure.
Oh, and Ken, check out MGMT. Their album is superb.
And here I thought it was going to take you all of 2008 to post your top 10 of 2007! Duran Duran
Still remember 1981 when the uncut video for "Girls on Film" came out… nuff said!
