tum-dam-tum-dam. "life without you is like a toilet without flush!" quoth i.

OutKast – B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)

Aaliyah – Try Again
U2 – Beautiful Day
And that was all from this old DJ. I’m going to the radio office right now for my retirement paycheck. It’s been a pleasure to share so many hours and years of good music with such a distinguished audience. Hope the XXI Century will provide us with music as good as the one we had during the XX Century. Where? Here in WWAM, of course. Stay tuned.
And as a postscript I’m going to post again a list that I sent in 2005, quite different to the actual one:
1. EMINEM feat. DIDO “Stan” (amazing!, it sends shivers down my spine).
2. BJÖRK feat. THOM YORKE “I’ve Seen It All” (this is pure beauty).
3. THE GO-BETWEENS “Going Blind” (a perfect pop song from the best comeback of this year).
4. MADONNA “Music” (“Hey Mr DJ, put a record on, I wanna dance with my baby…”
.
5. GOLDFRAPP “Lovely Head” (a Shirley Bassey for the XXI century… and this Theremin!).
6. MOLOKO “The Time Is Now” (“Give up yourself unto the moment / The time is now / Give up yourself unto the moment / Let’s make this moment last” .
7. KYLIE MINOGUE “Spinning Around” (wow, have you seen the video-clip?).
8. OUTKAST “Ms. Jackson” (it’s not my number 1, but the Acclaimed Music number 1 absolutely deserves to be in the Top Ten).
9. YO LA TENGO “You Can Have It All” (fun, fun, fun; on stage they did a foolish dance while they played this song).
10. MOJAVE 3 “In Love With A View” (an Englishman in Americana).
Well, a lot of female touch. And my Top Ten of Spanish songs of 2000:
1. NU TEMPO “Islas” (thinking about the Cuba shores from the dry fields of Aragon in Spain).
2. BERGMAN “Enigmas In Your Hand” (an orchestral shelter for the sweetest melody).
3. KIKO VENENO “Coge la guitarra” (“Coge la guitarra, hermano mío / Coge la guitarra que hace mucho frío”; “Bring the guitar, my brother / Bring the guitar cause it’s very cold in here” .
4. STEVE WYNN & AUSTRALIAN BLONDE “Suddenly” (a mp3 wedding of an American rock hero with a Spanish indie band).
5. SR. CHINARRO “Cero en gimnasia” (the childhood memories of the strangest boy of the class).
6. TONINO CAROTONE “Me cago en el amor” (a Spanish singer being transfigured in a fictional Italian crooner).
7. LA CASA AZUL “Cerca de Shibuya” (in Spain we called this “tonti-pop” (“silly-pop” , but it’s pure fun).
8. LOS PLANETAS “Un buen día” (a day in the life of the best appreciated Spanish indie-band).
9. SEXY SADIE “I Don’t Know” (indie-rock spanish-style).
10. CATHY CLARET “La chica del viento” (a French girl with a sweet voice trying her luck with the “rumba flamenca”
Noooooooo ! My 2nd favourite song of the 00s missed the cut (well I don't have my all time songs list but I'm quite sure only one beats it) ! Bombs over Baghdad is the greatest hip-hop song ever
(well... great list except for that 
)
It's Blur for the old millennium. I was definitely an Oasis man back in the days, but they never wrote a song like this. I've jumped into walls listening to it. I've kicked things over and shouted woohoo. And I still do it if I'm at a party and this is played. So hide your vases if you invite me home.
3. ( (5 years) Blur – Song 2
Hey nj
great.. now I'm seriously puzzled about whom of them will definitely bang on my head in april... they're both fuzzy eyed... and sigh.. double fizzy handed
