some music of note, yep yep.

ah, such a sweet discussion thread...the heritage of the indie singer





Erlend Oye - DJ Kicks. a strangely satisfying singing DJ, that goes from the french-y sublime "So Weit Wie Noch Nie" (from Jurgen Pappe) to Cornelius' "Drop" to the fucking incredible "If I Ever Feel Better" (from real frenchies, Phoenix). and, villalobos' "dexter" for good measure (it wouldn't be a mix album without it). Dear friend who loves new order, pet shop boys, etc. - go pick this up on Tuesday and mebbe it'll make you happy.





The Shaggs - Philosophy of the World. The worst album in the world. that's why i heart it. plus, name-checked in "Top 10 Band Names to Drop to Blag Your Way Into Cool Music Circles"





Scissor Sisters - s/t. With a cover reminiscent of the blissed-glory of Xanadu, Scissor Sisters are already old news in those indie circles. But comfortably numb, as a disco number is something so incredibly irresistable. ah....


a tip to the cool - gabba / POD. mp3 blogs are GREAT... no more reliance upon P2P...find some good music right now! Nate recommends Ghostface Killah - The Beatles and Laszlo Beckett & Steve Taylor - Hand on the Plow (as of April 17th). Hand on the Plow has those nice yelled overdubs (if memory serves me right), like my favorite Modest Mouse moments.

similarly, bill cosby "dope pusher" is brilliant, my friends - go to Fluxblog right now and download this sucker. It's there under the heading 'I Don't Need No Bad Drugs.'
