Start holding your breath, readers, because in a few days we at Superstarcastic will (like all the other jerks out there) be posting an article about our favorite albums of 2006.
In the meantime, I’d like to take issue with Pitchfork’s top single of 2006. OF COURSE Justin Timberlake should receive the honor–it’s just that “My Love” is not his finest work. But “Dick in a Box”? That’s where it’s at. At the close of a year in which it seemed like every single was nu-gaze, cutesy pop, or sung by a chick wearing a deceased weasel on her head, “Dick in a Box” sparkled with originality by couching timely and helpful holiday gift-giving tips in the form of a satirical homage to ’90s boy bands. What more could you want from a song (or, furthermore, for Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa)?
So yeah–many of our writers believe that the single is dead, but I don’t. This year, I choose Justin Timberlake’s “Dick in a Box.”

dick in a sock,

dick in a box”

I just want to point out, without actually posting, that Rolling Stone nominated the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as the second best album of the year.
I didn’t even know they had a new album. WTF?
J Tim is waaaaay better. Especially Dick in a Box. In fact he probably out Chilli Peppers the Chilli Peppers with that one…..
