My recent faves – some are old, some are new, some are red, some are blue:

Your English Is Good – Tokyo Police Club

Fidelity – Regina Spektor

Moves – The New Pornographers

Bulletproof – Le Roux

End Love – OK Go

Flathead – The Fratellis

All massively spectacular.

Spectacular and kitschy and inventive and expansive.  This tugs upwards at the corners of my mouth.

Who’s the choreographer?  Is it the band themselves?  They deserve some hardware. Maybe a Webby.  Their acceptance speech could be “Your Mom Loves OK Go.”

Love the goose at 3:55 by the way.

Finally see you were naturally
The one to make it so easy when you show me the truth
Yeah, yeah I’d rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

Sunday morning, coding and jamming along with Jack and Meg:

I can see your man can’t help but win
Any problems that may arise
But in his mind there can be no sin
If you never criticize

You just keep on repeating
All those empty "I love you’s"
Until you say you deserve better
I’m gonna lay right into you

Tonight I’ll dream while I’m in bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tomorrow I’ll bet
that you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna to be friends
Yes I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Recently fell in love (again) with this track from 2003:

And if I catch it coming back my way
I’m gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear
But thats what I’ll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

It’s obviously relentlessly subjective and personal, but nevertheless, my list of the most danceable tunes of the 00’s, in no particular order except for the last:

1. I Kissed a Girl – Katy Perry
2. Paper Planes – M.I.A.
3. Rehab – Amy Winehouse
4. Sexy Back – Justin Timberlake
5. Ain’t No Other Man – Christina Aguilera
6. Say Hey (I Love You) – Michael Franti & Spearhead
7. Le Disko – Shiny Toy Guns
8. Cobrastyle – Robyn
9. Calabria 2007 – Enur

And finally,my vote for the best dance track of the decade:

What Planet You On? Bodyrox featuring Luciana

View the video here at DailyMotion.com.

Just missing my list, but still way up there: Cascada, Milky, Kylie Minogue, Justice, The Killers, Lady Gaga, Rihanna (several times!), Avril Lavigne, and the Gorillaz.

What tracks would be on your list?

Great tune from Jack’s Mannequin:

You gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music that saves you
When you’re not so sure you’ll survive

You gotta swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven’t come this far
To fall off the Earth

The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
Cracking the armour, yeah

I swim for brighter days
Despite the absense of sun
Choking on salt water
I’m not giving in
I swim

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of your silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what’s next
I’d make you believe
I’d make you forget

Merely one of my favorite songs of ALL TIME…it was on this morning at the gym and put me in a great mood.

Don’t it feel good!
