B.O.B 2007 AWARDS - BEST SONG

Here we go!! This took some time, i tell thee! i spent a good few hours getting this right. I need these lists spot on so in years to come i can re-visit the lists and..erm..i don't know what? but at least i'll have them if i need them for anything. Don't laugh at me. I will leave the house tomorrow ok!!

Hot Chip were the 2006 winners. Have a look at all of my favourite tracks from last year HERE.

A couple of these songs were in last year's list too..only because i had been listening to them before they had been released. Most of these tracks can be found on my OLO Radio podcasts. There are even some BIG pop hits in there too.

The rules (that i made up) are that each artist may only have 2 entries, which may be tied in the same position (or not).

cheers mike!
do i know u? i only know 1 mike..is it mike white?

Unknown said...

no, I am not Mike White. My mayor used to be named Mike White, maybe you know him. Do you know Mayor Mike White?

i used to leave comments for boonbeanseses' podcasts on the blog because I liked them very much. I arrived here from a common interest in Let's Paint TV. Then BB stopped making podcasts for like a year so I became very sad.

but this list totally rocks, and I love music again. i want to donate to the site, but after spending about 20 minutes going through OLO websites and stuff, I can't find any PayPal link that says "Donate" for fuck's sake, or "Donate for fuck's sake" for fuck's sake. i was thinking about buying 50 CD's to show my appreciation, but you wouldn't understand what I was trying to do. You'd be like "huh? WTF? 50 CD's? Kid is crazy!" and you'd get violent.

thanks very much for the kind words.
if u really wanna buy something u could buy 1 of the last 5 handmade OLO 'Bare Foot' cds?
or maybe hang on for a couple of weeks and buy something off my new website that'll have artwork for sale.
i promise i will keep updating my podcasts this year.
cheers
