I think I would just end up rewriting this as

for s in songs:
    if s.is_new():
        new_songs.append(s)
    else:
        old_songs.append(s)

but then we're back where we started. I don't think any of the
solutions posted in this thread have been better than this. If you
want to make this a nice one-liner then just put this code in a
function.
