housekeeping: Best of 2007 track-list, linkage

Figured I might as well throw this up here. Before I got a new computer, my old one's burner wasn't working, so this doesn't really exist except as a .zip file a few friends got. Notes as the whim strikes me.

Disk 1:
1. "Swim Team" Baby Teeth (The Simp)
2. "Silently" Blonde Redhead (23)
3. "D.A.N.C.E." Justice (Cross)
4. "Octet" Deerhunter (Cryptograms - only good song, really)
5. "Cult Status" 1990s (Cookies)
6. "Restorative Beer" The Fiery Furnaces (Widow City)
7. "My Eyes" Travis (The Boy With No Name — same deal as Deerhunter)
8. "Scythian Empire" Andrew Bird (Armchair Apocrypha — maybe my song of the year)
9. "Sucking Punch" Fujiya & Miyagi (Transparent Things)
10. "C.O.L.O.U.R.S" Bentley ft. Pimp C and Lil' Wayne (Can't Tell Me Nothing: The Official Mixtape, but will presumably resurface on Bentley's debut, whenever the hell that finally surfaces; fingers crossed)
11. "Northern Whale" The Good, The Bad & The Queen (The Good, The Bad & The Queen)
12. "Down In The Valley" The Broken West (I Can't Go On, I'll Go On; their new album is a real bummer)
13. "Photograph" Air (Pocket Symphony - God, that album really didn't go anywhere, did it?)
14. "Say It To My Face" Young Buck ft. Bun B, 8 Ball and MJG (Buck The World; credit or execration for this song's presence goes to my G-Unit loving pal Eugene)
15. "The Underdog" Spoon (Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga)
16. "Muscle 'n Flo" Menomena (Friend And Foe)

Disk 2:
1. "Take Tha Hood Back" UGK ft. Slim Thug, Vicious and Middle Fingaz (Underground Kingz)
2. "Reunion" Jason Collett [tagged as Stars b/c it's a cover] (Do You Trust Your Friends?)
3. "Sarah T." The Comas (Spells)
4. "Turn On Me" The Shins (Wincing The Night Away)
5. "Hands In The Snow" Saturday Looks Good To Me (Fill Up The Room; awesome live show, btw)

10. "Ddiamondd" Battles (Mirrored)
11. "You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told)" The White Stripes (Icky Thump; the fact that this is a freakin' CAREER BAND continues to amaze me)
12. "Hate It Here" Wilco (Sky Blue Sky)
13. "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" David Byrne (Live From Austin, TX)
14. "Sunday Sounds" The Apples In Stereo (New Magnetic Wonder)
15. "Here Comes The Heartbreak" Emma Pollock (Watch The Fireworks)

Disk 3:
1. "Intervention" Arcade Fire (Neon Bible)
2. "Roc Boys (And The Winner Is...)" Jay-Z (American Gangster)
3. "Totems On The Timeline" Klaxons (Myths Of The Near Future; this track is basically indistinguishable from the rest of the album; better in the mix)

12. "Prospectors Arrive" Jonny Greenwood (There Will Be Blood sdtrk.)
13. "Blood Red Blood" Voxtrot (Voxtrot)

Clever Girls" Pelle Carlberg (In A Nutshell)
16. "Fake Empire" The National (Boxer)
17. "New Routine" Fountains of Wayne (Traffic & Weather)
