more noise

So, new shit in the BlogRadio. Check it:

  • Editors- Munich. This is a bad-ass band, and they've put out a bad-ass album. You'll listen to it and think, "Oh, it's an Interpol ripoff." Well, no, because they're much better players than Interpol, and the singer guy isn't so annoyingly dramatic all the time.
  • Matthew Sweet w/ Suzanna Hoffs- Different Drum. This is a cover of the song by the Stone Poneys with which you're probably familiar. Hoffs was in the Bangles, Sweet is a power-pop force all his own. They played together as Ming Tea in one of the Austin Powers movies. In any case, a terribly shallow song, script-flipped for our shallow age. Uh, I mean our "empowered" age. Sorry.
  • Eels- The Last Time We Spoke. Sad bastard music.
  • Cocteau Twins- Rilkean Heart (acoustic version). Sad bastard music for girls.
  • Goldfrapp- Slide In (DFA remix). Cos you gotta fuckin dance once in a while. Dig the cowbell solo, too. It's the only prescription. You should listen to Goldfrapp's "Supernature," on account of it being awesome.
