Quarterly music round-up: OCT
It's OCTOBER, which means it's time for the quarterly music round-up (I ended up posting July's list over on poptimists instead).
Here are my top 20 songs of the year so far:
1. Tinie Tempah - Pass Out
2. Mariah Carey ft Nicki Minaj - Up Out My Face*
3. Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart*
4. Sleigh Bells - Tell 'Em
5. Big Boi - Shutterbug
6. Janelle Monae - Tightrope*
7. Joy Orbison - BRKLN CLLN
8. Tinchy Stryder - In My System
9. Kelis - 4th of July (album edit)
10. Caribou - Sun
11. Anja Schneider - iThought
12. DJ Fresh - Gold Dust*
13. Lady Gaga ft Beyonce - Telephone*
14. New Boyz ft Tyga - Cricketz
15. Hera Bjork - Je Ne Sais Quoi
16. Katy B - Katy On A Mission
17. Gabriella Cilmi - On A Mission
18. Nicki Minaj - Massive Attack*
19. Ikonika - Psoriasis
20. TashBed - Touch
This means Sophie Ellis-Bextor's "Bittersweet" doesn't make the cut! Sorry Soph. A song with an asterisk indicates that the song has a Very Awesome Video which you should go and watch asap.
Top 5 Albums (no particular order)
Sleigh Bells
Kelis
Ikonika
Various - Making Contakt (Minus semi-live stuff)
Laura Marling

she on a diet but my POCKETS EATING CHEESECAKE
actually did a Best of Minaj list of youtubes the other day too, here. Songs of the year is too hard bur if I had to rank my favourite Minaj guest spots of 2010 it would go:
1. "Monster" ("then imma start rocking gold teeth and fangs")
2. "Bottoms Up" ("RIMRIMRIMRIM")
3. "Fuck U Silly" ("Yo Cassie, you a bad bitch, imma call you Lassie") (and "I don't wanna brag, I Louis Vuitton bagged him/Hopped out the Jag, proceeded to sh-shag him/Thought he was a queen, I dr-dr-dr-dragged him/Back to the room and whipped out a Magnum") (AND "giddy up, giddy up! now wake Diddy up, Diddy up, Diddy up!")
4. "Shakin' It 4 Daddy" ("I'm flyer than an eagle that's balding/I throw it back line HAIRLINES THAT'S BALDING")
5. "Woohoo" ("left from Jamaica, go a foreign CONTOUR")
Sadly I haven't felt any of her solo stuff since the still-awesome "Massive Attack" ("Tom tom like in Lebanon, hotter than in Pakistan, click-click-click Young Nick the atomic bomb, yeaahhhh - see her than you lick your tongue"), kinda nervous about the album :/
(iirc "Shutterbugg" has an awesome video too!)
