1. Stars, “Your Ex-Lover is Dead.” The Torquil/Amy duets are always the best, and this captures their frosty chemistry at its finest, contrasting nicely with the opener, featuring a creepy old guy in a burning house.
2. J Dilla, “Wild.”
3. Beck, “Dark Star.”
4. Feist, “So Sorry.”
5. Lavender Diamond, “Like a Prayer.”
6. Starlight Mints, “Inside of Me.” The Mints indulge in the kind of arresting stop-action work that Peter Gabriel and the Talking Heads helped kick off during the mid-’80s.
7. Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, “Born Secular.”
8. Brookville, “Golden.”
9. The Delgados, “The City Consumes Us.”
10. Propellerheads, “History Repeating.” No one ever accused Shirley Bassey of possessing too much nuance and subtlety.
