Yes, it's December everybody. Which means it is time for the CMU Track Of The Year thingimy thing - where the great and good that are the CMU Daily readership have the opportunity to big up the tracks that got them most excited in 2007.
If you haven't voted yet, there is still chance to get your votes in - you can pick a single, album track, b-side, bootleg, remix, demo, anything that first surfaced this year. You should email the name of your fave track and a couple of sentences on why it's great to [email protected].
Meanwhile, here's some votes already received...
Laura Marling - New Romantic
Great sentiments, super lyrics, wonderfully simple production and really evocative of this time of year too. And, the process of seeing her play on Jools Holland and then downloading the track straight away has been all about the spontaneous content consumption that was so 2007.
Andy Wood, Director, Tough Cookie
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
Foals - Hummer
The first is an epic, life affirming song that sounds like nothing before or since. It has got plenty to say about getting older, although it's plainly about being on the road and missing home. The second is a devastating assault where an indie band make the most convincing electro on guitars etc. An assured debut single that, apparently, won't even be on their album.
