2007, best of the rest, part 1.

[urgencytobleed]

Now that we've got all that top ten craziness out of the way, there were obviously tons of other awesome releases this year. And then a few that might not be so awesome overall, but have that one amazing song. So, here are some of my favorite songs of the year (excluding any from the top ten, obviously; I think I've got them well covered). Also, album title = purchase link.

• 1997 - Curse or Cure (from A Better View of the Rising Moon)
• Agent Ribbons - That's Not Edgar's Heart (from And the Star-Crossed Doppleganger 7")
• Art in Manila - I Thought I Was Free (from Set the Woods on Fire)
• The Bird and the Bee - I Hate Camera (from The Bird and the Bee)
• Bishop Allen - Flight 180 (from The Broken String)
• Bright Eyes - No One Would Riot for Less (from Cassadaga)
• Carina Round - Down Slow (from Slow Motion Addict)
• CocoRosie - Werewolf (from The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn)
• Dntel - Roll On feat. Jenny Lewis (from Dumb Luck)
• Georgie James - Cake Parade (from Places)
• Grand Ole Party - INSANE (from Humanimals - I'm not sure if the physical CD is "officially" out yet since I got it straight from them at the Rilo Kiley show, but that's the Amazon page for it anyway, with a few third-party sellers.)

And because I'm weird like that and want to stretch this out to last the whole week, the rest of the songs tomorrow!
