1. Neon Trees- I love you(But I hate Your Friends)
I went to a lot of shows this year and I just got to see SO
MANY AMAZING FUCKING ACTS but the show I was honestly THE MOST hyped up for was
this little power pop group’s free offering up in Power and Light because not
only did they manage to make my favorite album of the year, NOT ONLY did I get to
see an AMAZING SHOW FRONT FUCKING ROW, not only did I get to shake Tyler Glenns
hand, and not only DID I get the most important record I’ve had in quite some
time for free but in all honesty I think that same album and show was probably
the therapy I needed.
Like I said my life went to a really dark place people and
in some sick fucked up way there wasn’t too many things that consistently gave
me any sense of joy or happiness but oddly enough it was the songs that were
the most important and Pop Psychology as an album is one of those records that
filled with them and while I’d say Living In another World is the song I really
NEEDED to hear live and did and of course loved it’s a bit hard to really think
of it as the best because of all the songs released and meant to promote these
acts and the efforts they were making this was probably the song that sold me
the most on Pop Psychology and it’s still the most consistent tune that I find
myself loving all these odd months later and constant rotations.
It’s a big energetic ball of wonder with a music video that
seems like some odd art house bojankies that only the Talking Heads would do
that is also something true as hell in that you may like someone but you never
like their company and everyone can attest to that.
I honestly think this was the best song of the year for many
reasons but if I had to say anything it’d probably be this amongst all the
amazing shows, bad ass new artist, and amazing songs I’ve heard this one
without a doubt when I look at the list I compiled was my clear cut choice of
what I truly thought was the best and because of that its ranked accordingly.
Neon Trees had an amazing year and followed up an album
amazing enough to make me write a fucking screenplay to it with a collection of
songs that was the strongest effort I’ve listened to through and through and
because of that I just can’t help but be glad their music actually hit me in a
special place and gave me some encouragement to really REALLY write something
special and this song is a good example of the joys I can feel because of the
music I hear so sorry to be all preachy and kind of cheesy but this song
FUCKING KICKS ASS PEOPLE and it’s my pick for the best song of 2014 thanks for
reading through these 20 day’s people here’s to a hopefully great 2015 and of
course go like the fucking facebook page it’s all I really could ask for shit
I’ll link it AGAIN!
But all jokes aside I’m going to attempt to come up with something hopefully the beginning of next week then most likely take the rest of the year
off because I didn’t post enough this year and I’ll be back January 1st
but until then listen on and keep on kicking ass…
