Well, continuing down this somewhat bizarre path:

new_songs, old_songs = [], []
itertools.takewhile(
    lambda x: True,
    (new_songs if s.is_new() else old_songs).append(s) for s in songs)
    )

I'm not sure I got the syntax exactly right, but the idea is anything 
that will iterate over a generator expression.  That at least gets rid 
of the memory requirement to hold the throw-away list :-)
