And speaking of good
songs, this is my top ten list for the first half of 2015. In no particular order.
“What I Want” by Will
Butler
“Ever Had A Little
Faith?” by Belle & Sebastian
“Waitress” by Hop
Along
“Johnny Delusional”
by FFS
“When I Get To
Hollywood” by The Monochrome Set
“A Death Song” by
Darren Hayman
“Should Have Known
Better” by Sufjan Stevens
“Gunga Din” by The
Libertines
“Street Pastor
Colloquy, 3AM” by Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat
*Note that the only
reason why “Piss Crowns Are Trebled” by Godspeed You! Black Emperor didn’t make
the cut is that it’s not a song. It’s something else. Otherwise – the thing is astonishing.
