I honestly didn't mean to slander Ben's mad cooking skillz (yo), that was just a photo of his proven domestication (he's far more house trained than I am!). I didn't actually notice the can and associated implications until it was pointed out.
I just voted in the Hottest 100, after much deliberation and cutting out of songs I really liked. But, I eventually managed to get my final 10:
Architecture in Helsinki - Wishbone. AIH nearly got a number of votes, but I ended up cutting the rest of their songs to fit in others. Rather unfortunate, seeing as they're all so cute I just want to take them home and feed them cookies.
Beautiful Girls - Ashes. About the only song I know by these guys, but it was fairly safe in the list (wouldn't quite have made a final 5 though).
Eels - Hey Man. Like AIH, Eels got cut down to 1 song in my list. Like AIH, it would have made a final 5. And I really would love to sit down to a good dinner with any of the Eels members (from Eels with strings), with a good bottle of wine.
Epicure - Tightrope Walker. This song gets stuck in my head on a regular basis, it's beautiful (another for the final 5). Unfortunately I still haven't seen Epicure live, though I want to.
Mountain Goats - This Year. My theme song lately, I think (also final 5).
Panics - My Best Mistake. I was pretty out of it when I saw these guys live, but I do remember this song rather well. Unfortunately for the Panics they tend to make great background music, which means I don't really learn their songs all that well.
Queens Of The Stone Age - Little Sister. Not a band that would normally make my final 10, but this song definitely does. A bit personal, really (though I haven't paid that much attention to most of the lyrics).
Sarah Blasko - Flame Trees. The first of the covers to make it in my list, and too beautiful not to. I love how minimalist it is, just helping her voice along a touch.
Sons & Daughters - Dance Me In. Another band that I hardly know, but this song is great. I really have a thing for awesome melody lines. And Scottish bands, it seems, though Idlewild didn't quite make the final cut (I don't know their new stuff so well).
Youth Group - Forever Young. The second cover, apparently, in my list. It's that whole awesome vocal melody thing that does it again. Would also be final 5, if I had to have one.
So, now you know what I voted for, what did everyone else vote for (I've seen Jen's list)?
