blog 2010/05/12 - don't do it!  stay away!

Don't read this post!  There's a monster at the end!
No wait, what I mean is that it's probably TOO EARLY for another update.  But the thing is, I'm off to Toronto this weekend and won't have the time nor wherewithall to get my planned update out.
So you get it early.

But no worries!  You can just turn your computer off right this moment, and not turn it back on until Sunday.
Then, you won't feel pressured to get this update and plough through it.

Yes, that's right.  Just close your email down and shut off the computer.
Pull the plug from the back.
Now toss that monitor straight out the fucking window.
OK, now the pants come off.  Tear your pants in to strips of fabric.  Bite in to your hand until you break the skin, streak some blood across your face, and tie one of the pieces of fabric across your forehead like a sweatband.

If that fails, just listen to the update.    It's all gravy to me.


We have FIVE, count 'em 5 cover songs in this update.  5!


Cicada - Metropolis (The Twelves Remix):  The Twelves are back with another rockin' pop remix.  love love love.

CocoRosie - Surfer Girl (Beach Boys cover):  From the Lemonade single, CocoRosie do an appropriate breathey take on this Beach Boys classic.

eLDOKO - Woodworm Blues:  Filtered and chopped horns?  On a funky house beat?  you don't say!

Franz Ferdinand - All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem cover):  Probably one of my favourite LCD Soundsystem tracks!  Covered by FF on their A Bunch of Stuff EP from 2007.

Gogol Bordello - Immigraniada (We Comin' Rougher)
Gogol Bordello - My Companjera
Gogol Bordello - Sun Is On My Side:  NEW GOGOL BORDELLO!  Trans-Continental Hustle is fresh for 2010 and I fucking love it.   The song writing really glistens, and they can still rock party.  Highly recommended.

Kings of Convenience - The Weight of My Words (Four Tet Remix):  Not a new release, but how can I resist a lovely Four Tet remix?  The correct answer is:  she can't.

Mike Patton - Kickin' (Crank, High Voltage OST)
Mike Patton - Organ Donor (Crank, High Voltage OST)
Mike Patton - Supercharged (Crank, High Voltage OST)
Mike Patton - The Hammer Drops (Crank, High Voltage OST):  I've never seen the movie, but FUCK, the soundtrack is flipping amazing.  Mike Patton gives exactly the performance you'd want for an action film.  If you love Mike Patton, Naked City or Mr. Bungle, the Crank: High Voltage soundtrack comes very much recommended.

Mochipet - John Coltrane on Atari (Daniel Day Trio Remix):  Everyone and their mom is remixing Mochipet, and considering this is Master P On Atari Transformed Vol. 1, it implies at least one more volume in the works.  This was the standout for me, a guitar and drums rework of the original breakbeat mutant.

Phoenix - Sad Eyed Lady of The Lowlands (Bob Dylan cover):  from the Live & Unplugged album.

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Ropa:  This is off the 2008 Koko EP.   It's great to hear Sakamoto getting back in to depth of the piano.

She & Him - I Put A Spell On You (Screamin' Jay Hawkins Cover):  Taken from the comp "Sweetheart: Our Favourite Artists Sing Their Favourite Long Songs"

The Joy Formidable - The Greatest Light Is The Greatest Shade
The Joy Formidable - Whirring:  It was an accident I stumbled on these songs, but they are fabulous!  The tags say they are from the brand new "A Balloon Called Moaning", which I will happily hunt down.  And so should you.

The Pack A.D. - Crazy:  A fabulous rock pop number from the new album "We Kill Computers".

The Rest - The Close Western:  It's the end of the day, I'm out of words, and I'm just blissing out to this song...  from the album Cried Wolf.

Yelle - Qui Est Cette Fille (Who's That Girl) (Robyn cover):  Robyn, done en Francais!  Hell yeah.

YJKII - Ipypyna Horoa:  From the new album "Songs of Tradition Revival by Karitiana Tribe".  Expect to see this fabulous recording heavily sampled by epic trance artists, ala Orb.
