PDL.
OTHER TIME (JOHAN SIGERUD REMIX) (alt): Not gonna lie. This is my bestie's song getting the Cyndi Lauper "Time After Time" '80s treatment thanks to a sweet Swedish producer. THE END.--BUY IT
ANORAAK.
N.E.R.D. (NEVER ENDING ROMANCE DISASTER) (alt): The protagonist in this song sounds like a total douche, but Anoraak's sleek electro groove keeps me coming back.
BUNNY RABBIT.
PUSSY QUEEN (alt): It makes me sad that there are people in this world who still don't know about Bunny Rabbit, Black Cracker and the Cult of Miracles. Can't wait for the new album! THE END.--BUY IT
TOKIN' BLACK GUY.
BODY CLOCK (alt): After receiving a mysterious all-caps-lock e-mail from "Kanye West", I was intrigued by Tokin' Black Guy. But now that I've seen his top friends on the space, I'm even more fascinated. Admittedly, I'm a little disappointed, given that my friend Crystal …
THUNDERHEIST.
CRUISE LOW (alt): You know I love me some Thunderheist, but I hope they're not offended by me saying that this is probably the best thing I've ever heard them do. It's got a chill, laid-back vibe a la The Clipse and a reference to "I Know What Boys Like". So necessary. …
HOLY SHIT.
I can't believe I just did that. I'm going to celebrate by vagina-clapping, which is pretty much the most self-promotional thing I could do right now. There's no shame on the internet (I'm lying).
Happy Valentine's Day. Don't get herpes.
VAGINA CLAP (alt)
KERI HILSON.
NUMBER ONE SEX F/ R. KELLY (DEMO) (alt): Much like the Chris Brown song I posted earlier, this song falls into my favorite non-genre of unintentional gender-bending. I love hearing Keri sing about how she's the pussy champion. I hope this girl sells some albums, because …

MICKEY GANG.
VIRGIN (WISH YOU WERE) (alt): I can't tell whether the concept of this song is romantic or entirely creepy. I lean towards creepy, but it makes me want to dance. All is forgiven. THE END.
BAT FOR LASHES.
A FOREST (THE CURE COVER) (alt): The prospect of this cover worried me, but anything this gal does is golden. THE END.--BUY IT
VOTE JOE JOHN SANCHEZ III FOR QUEERTY MUSIC REVIEWER!
SOLANGE KNOWLES.
SANDCASTLE DISCO (FREEMASONS REMIX) (alt): You know what's gayer than me being up for Queerty's next music reviewer? This remix and the fact that I enjoy it. I will take no shame for liking the latest Solange album, but there's really nothing I can say to get me out of …
LIL WAYNE & ROBIN THICKE.
TIE MY HANDS (HURRICANE KATRINA DEDICATION LIVE AT GRAMMYS) (alt): I never enjoyed this song until I heard the live performance. I was a little disappointed that Weezy didn't launch into a big-band version of "A Milli" when the crazy breakdown happened. More …
BISHOP ALLEN.
DIMMER (alt): New Bishop Allen makes me insanely happy. THE END.--BUY IT
OTIS REDDING.
RESPECT (LIVE AT MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL) (alt): One of my favorite songs of all time. Before Aretha did "Respect", Otis rocked the hell out of it. When I was younger, I used to pronounce her name as "Arethra" so it sounded a lot like urethra. Ew!--THE END.--BUY IT
LILY ALLEN.
CHINESE (alt): Pretty much the perfect love song. Don't judge me for saying that. I totally hated Lily Allen until I heard this album. I'm glad she ditched the whole faux-reggae thing, and I'm glad that she can't keep her fucking mouth shut. Katy Perry can eat a bag of …
THE CAPSTAN SHAFTS.
CHERRY MAGDALENE (alt): How was I never told how much I would love this music? At times, it's slightly reminiscent of Pavement. THE END.--BUY IT
BANGLADESH
IKE TURNER F/ BIG FRAZE, TOM FOOLERY & MUFFY (alt): Okay, you know I love Bangladesh. How could you deny the man who brought us "A Milli", "Bossy" and the best Ludacris songs ever recorded? And despite all my jokes, I really have my fingers crossed for Muffy. With that …
CUT OFF YOUR HANDS.
STILL FOND (alt): The Killers meets The Strokes meets someone else who used to be cool to like, but somehow less shameful. THE END.--BUY IT
MIRROR BOIYZ.
ANIMALS IN THE JUNGLE F/ GIRL (alt): In the spirit of homo shit, I thought I'd embarrass myself by sharing an unreleased song from my gay rap duo. This song is so weird, a little off and makes me so happy.
BIGDADDY.
WOMANIZER F/ ANDRE 3000 (BIGFADDY EDIT) (alt): Okay, I can see you judging me from a mile away, but the real star on this edit isn't Britney. Though it doesn't make much sense to put a verse about settling down (from "International Player's Anthem") on a song about a …
M.I.A.
BOYZ (LEIF REMIX) (alt): Oh man, remember when M.I.A. released this single? I totally liked the non-single "Bird Flu" more, but let's not argue. I have my fingers crossed that Maya will use her baby as a fashion accessory. Imagine it--she dresses it as a watermelon and …
