- Here's a mixtape, too bad you can't make a playlist out of this ... where is web 2.0 when you need it?
Over the course of the year, it has been "Konijntje"[4] that saw me returning to YouTube most faithfully. It is my first entry in "Best single of 2008," in the category slow and sleazy. A second entry is "Everyone Nose (All the Girls Standing in the Line for the Bathroom)"[5] by P. Williams; category cocaine songs. A third "I'll Kill Her"[6] by Soko,; category violent jealousy. A fourth is "Raggamuffin" an unpublished composition by Belgian singer songwriter Selah Sue, currently playing on my MySpace[7]; in the category young and lively. The fifth entry is "American Boy"[8] by Estelle; in the same category as the previous song. The sixth is the Soulwax's remix of "You Can't Always Get What You Want"[9]; category dancefloor. Next are "Blind"[10] by Hercules and Love Affair; dancefloor, mournful, "Strange Overtones"[11] by Byrne; for the nobrow category and "Corporate Cannibal"[12] by Grace Jones; discotheque category and "You Give a Little Love"[13] (the GTA Coca-Cola ad commericial, unpublished); in the category last song of the evening.
