• Song of the Day #1,674: ‘Rose Parade’ – Elliott Smith

  Number of comments: 2
  I was really worried I’d dredge up another Christina Aguilera track from Bionic today, so this is an even more welcome treat. ‘Rose Parade’ is one of the standout tracks from Elliott Smith’s wonderful album Either/Or. It details, in a more straightforward way than he normally used, his participation in [...]

• Song of the Day #1,673: ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ – Taylor Swift

  Number of comments: 10
  OK, this is a little more interesting. Coming in at #6 on Village Voice’s Pazz & Jop poll of the best singles of 2012 is Taylor Swift with ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.’ Of course I’ve actually heard this song, unlike the first four I’ve posted. Compared to [...]

• Song of the Day #1,672: ‘The House That Heaven Built’ – Japandroids

  Number of comments: 1
  I feel so woefully out of the loop when I write these Pazz & Jop blog entries. What on earth is a Japandroid? I like the name, anyway, and I’m hopefully assuming that this won’t be another Marvin Gaye-wannabe. Time to give a listen to ‘The House That Heaven Built,’ [...]

• Song of the Day #1,671: ‘Thinkin Bout You’ – Frank Ocean

  Number of comments: 2
  Now here’s an entry that has potential. Frank Ocean has a single at #4 on the Pazz & Jop singles chart, but his album, Channel Orange, was the runaway winner of the Best Album poll. In fact, Channel Orange has topped just about every ‘Best Album of 2012′ list I’ve [...]

• Song of the Day #1,670: ‘Climax’ – Usher

  Number of comments: 1
  Coming in at third place on the Village Voice Pazz & Jop singles list is ‘Climax’ by Usher. Right off the bat I’m getting a bad feeling about this. How far is Usher from Miguel, really, in the grand scheme of things? I’ve never liked Usher or his music, and [...]

  Number of comments: 1
  One of my favorite annual traditions on this blog is my exploration of the Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll, a compilation of the best albums and singles of the year according to hundreds of music critics. I’ve discovered some great songs through this process (which I’ve gone through twice [...]

• Song of the Day #1,668: ‘Mississippi (Alternate Take)’ – Bob Dylan

  Enclosure: [download]

  Number of comments: 4
  Here’s a nice little palate cleanser after yesterday’s Christina Aguilera electro-pop atrocity. ‘Mississippi’ is one of Bob Dylan’s greatest achievements, and thanks to the wonder of his Bootleg Series, fans now have no fewer than four versions from which to choose (not counting Sheryl Crow’s cover). Today’s song, the first [...]

• Song of the Day #1,667: ‘Glam’ – Christina Aguilera

  Number of comments: 2
  Some cruel twist of fate has offered up a second track from Christina Aguilera’s cringe-worthy Bionic album less than two weeks after the first. Perhaps this is the Random iTunes Fairy giving me the opportunity to reveal that I did not pay money for this album. I’m not sure how [...]
