Best of: A Great 8 With Cut Copy's Tim Hoey
Cut Copy's Tim Hoey has stepped up to the plate today and narrowed some of his favourite songs from the past year into a list.
We gave him the somewhat awkward challenge of listing eight of the best "experimental" - or at least - not mainstream - pop songs of the year. He saw our challenge and raised us with eight simply excellent songs. Enjoy.
