Goodbye, Ten to Try, Required Listening has been reformatted for 2008. Friend Zach previously suggested that one post featuring ten new music tracks each month was too much too infrequently. I agree, and so I’ll now be highlighting individual singles (it sounds redundant, but I don’t think it is?!) throughout the month.
But I couldn’t go the whole nine yards and nix nine entire tracks cold turkey! I’ve just discovered two more songs from last year on someone else’s Best of 2007 compilation that I want you to hear before we listen to what 2008 has got in store for us. First, Mother Mother (I dare you to not move to the beat!)
Artist: Mother Mother
Track: Dirty Town

Mother Mother’s fellow Vancouverians (or are they Vancouverites?) The New Pornographers are very likely the last artists I will knowingly feature as creators of outstanding music in 2007 (but I’ve included several loopholes in that statement just in case.)
Artist: The New Pornographers
Track: Myriad Harbour
This track is available on ![]()
That brings us back to the present, with Vampire Weekend’s Oxford Comma. I actually discovered this on that aforementioned Best of 2007 collection, but the album doesn’t come out until next Tuesday, so it’s close enough for yorkrules.
