#1 'ice cream,' new young pony club [mp3] [video]
'i can give you want you want.' so sings nypc front woman tahita bulmer. never was a truer statement ever uttered 'cos 'ice cream' is exactly what i wanted this year. how did she know?
in a year of so many stupidly good songs, 'ice cream,' was my favorite. there, i said it. it's a brilliant combination of a seedy, 70s-inspired bass line, simple but effective keyboards, punchy drums, crunchy guitars, a mountain of dirty double entendres and euphemisms, crazy energy, and tahita's playfully deadpanned, detached vocals. talk about chewy, sticky retro new wave awesomeness.
'ice cream' is also my favorite video of the year. it's so corny and rad and wonderful and silly that i can't help but love it. and yeah, i like watching lou hayter in her blue dress play single notes on the keyboard. niiiiice.
so, yeah. 'ice cream.' i'll have some more please!

That is a pretty cool song. Orson loved the video and wanted to watch it over and over. It really kind of takes me back to the 80's. I still have a love for 80's music. And I have almost convinced Reed that he still does too. We do try to keep up with the new but when it comes to picking out a record I often pick out something from the 80's.
