  i know as soon as i post this im going to want to revise the hell out of it. but ok here goes:  top ten songs of 2003 10.  urlLink the cardigans -  couldn't care less this song lulls me into the same shitty ass mood as when i initially heard it when it came out in the 1st quarter of 2003.  09.
 urlLink the killers -  on top 'indie rock and roll' might have taken this tracks place if not for the cheesy lyrics about thrift store nonsense or something or other.  08.  urlLink moving units -  between us and them 2003 was definitely the year of the disco beat.  everyone should have known this when eminem hit us with 'without me'.
 the moving units nailed that shit down with this track.  07.  urlLink sufjan stevens -  they also mourn who do not wear black ( for the homeless in muskegon)  the melody of the vocals definitely reminds me of the late elliott smith.
 if this track were a christmas song it'd be 'carol of the bells',  which by the way is the only acceptable holiday jingle ever.  you'll know what i mean if you take a listen.  06.  urlLink outkast/ andre 3000 -
 spread if you can figure out a way to not have 'hey ya' on repeat,  skip back a few tracks and give this gem a chance.  my favourite part of the whole 2 disc mess is the sweet ass ending of 'happy valentines day' fading away and then 'spread' just starts slapping the crap out of you.  05.  urlLink !  -
 me and giuliani down by the schoolyard you have absolutely no idea where those sweet ass nine minutes had gone 'cause you were too busy trying to get your seizure- induced legs to quit.  04.  urlLink stellastarr*  -  in the walls most ppl who know whats up have heard this song by now.
 you love it i love it everyone loves it blah blah.  03.  urlLink deerhoof -  panda panda panda while 'dummy discards a heart' would certainly take a spot on a 'top best openers on an album' list,  this song makes you think the band is nothing but a recording of a little lolita absentmindedly twirling on her toes,  knees,
 and other random pivotal body parts in her bedroom until you actually decide to listen and realize you've just been graced with a legitimate and polished scheme of sound.  02.  urlLink interpol -  length of love ok.  i'll admit that i used to bash this band more than most ppl want to bash george w's nuts,  but im over that ewww-
superoverhyped- band- must- avoid- at- all-
costs phase and now i seriously cant get enough of 'turn on the bright lights'.  i know this particular track hasnt actually been recorded yet but live versions are floating around soulseek and i owe it to this band for sticking around despite my initial supreme destructive hatred.  yeaaaah 01.  urlLink the strokes -  i cant win the strokes.  you know how they do.
 i never cease to smile when it hits back into the main guitar riff at exactly 1: 57 minutes into the song.  some obvious givens and runner- ups i should mention just for the hell of it :  outkast- hey ya /
 the rapture -  house of jealous lovers ( yes yes it came out in 2002 blah blah)  /  junior senior -  any song off the disc really /
 doves -  words /  client -  here and now /  lcd soundsystem -  give it up /
 stars -  what the snowman learned about /  von bondies -  c'mon c'mon /  the shins -  kissing the lipless /
 clearlake -  almost the same /  menomena -  e.  is stable /  the strokes -
 the end has no end /  goldfrapp -  crystalline green /  moving units -  unpersuaded /  the cinema eye -
 what you die for /  no doubt -  its my life cover ( ugh its so good!  /  fuck me usa!
 -  infinite slope /  the unicorns -  inoculate the innocuous /  knife skills -  track 2 i dont know the song name ahh!
 but that no wave noise bastard in me loves it /  dandy warhols -  you were the last high /  the thrills -  don't steal our sun /  metric -
 dead disco /  grandaddy -  now its on /  radio 4 -  certain tragedy /
