#7 :: MAY I BURN UP THIS DANCE FLOOR?

Here's a nice little mix of rumpshakers and bootymovers that should brighten your day and get that head boppin'. I am no dancer but I am a sucker for a good beat. Make sure no one is looking when you start doing the robot.

Song: Chewing Gum .................. Artist: Annie
Annie is the perfect pop star. The music is addictive and glossy and she doesn't make you feel cheap for liking it.

Song: Wipe That Sound .................. Artist: Mouse on Mars
These guys rip. The music sounds so organic and bubbly, it hardly sounds possible and the vocals that aren't quite real is hypnotic.

Song: The Power is On .................. Artist: The Go! Team
I'd hate to see how many tracks it took to create such a dense landscape. Kinda reminds me of Action TV shows from the 80's. AIRWOLF!

Song: I Love Hip Hop .................. Artist: DJ Cam
This french DJ never really broke commercially the way others did but this song has been a long time favorite. Beware: its a FAT beat.

Song: Sunshowers .................. Artist: M.I.A.
The press keeps saying how amazing this girl M.I.A. is. Well this song finally sold me. It took a couple listens to get by the awkward reggae chanting. But soon I became addicted that chorus, so sweet.

Song: Daft Punk is Playing at My House .................. Artist: LCD Soundsystem
This song just kicks a whole of butt. So much swagger and bravado just seeping out the speakers.

Song: Nothing Gonna Stop .................. Artist: Folk Implosion
This is a little known ditty they put out on the Kids soundtrack back when they didn't just sound like Sebadoh.
Link O Commerce!

Song: Friendship Station .................. Artist: Le Tigre
I forgot how great Le Tigre used to be before I started seeing their videos playing in Blockbuster video. The evidence is here.

Song: Great Five Lakes .................. Artist: Buffalo Daughter
Buffalo Daughter used to hold the prize for weirdest-pop-sensation-to-be. Then they dropped the pop and I haven't heard much from them in a long time. Its 8 years old now but this song is so great that it would never feel dated.

Song: Move Your Feet .................. Artist: Junior Senior
These guys proved themselves to be the flash in the pan that everyone predicted but damn this song always makes me smile. And it always will dammit!
