Best of 2005: Part the Third
15. Fiona Apple - Please Please Please
Fiona Apple seems like one of those musicians who can't produce music unless they're experiencing some kind of emotional breakdown. Which might be why she didn't put out an album for the past 6 years or so. Or why she didn't finish the new one until her demos got released on the internet. If I was the head of her record label I would poison her cats or something, just to get some more product out of her.
14. Danger Doom (featuring Ghostface Killah, Brak and Zorack) - The Mask
Viktor Vaughn (aka Doom) does hard, fast hip-hop without choruses (the 'hook' as its sometimes called). That's what makes it cool. That and the ubiquitous Danger Mouse.
13. The White Stripes - My Doorbell
Ahh... The White Stripes.
They're pretty cool. Don't you think?
Remember they used to say they were brother and sister? That was funny.
Meg is hot.
Yeah. Can't really think of much else to say.
12. Kanye West w Adam Levine - Heard Em Say
The video for this song w/ animation by Bill Plympton is really cool.

11. Kate Bush - King Of The Mountain
Kate Bush explained in an interview that this song was mostly completed only a short time after her last album was released. That was 11 years ago. In between the recording of her latest hit single and it's eventual release, she took time off, she had a baby, and she began working on the double album, Aerial. King of the Mountain kicks off the first disc. Its very nice to have her back.
