Who's Blogging  |
A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind.
Laura Marling: "Ghosts"
The 18-year-old British up-and-comer's quavery tale of relationship ghosts, both real and imagined, is almost as inventive as anything from her whimsical folk doppelganger, Feist.
El Guincho:"Antillas"
If "Mutations"-era Beck collided with an ice cream truck, this exuberant track by the Barcelona quirkmeister El Guincho is probably what it would sound like. If your idea of fun is a tinny, endlessly looped sample of indeterminate origin layered over fractured lyrics sung in Spanish, and we're guessing it is, this will make you very, very happy.
MURS: "Better Than the Best"
The formerly underground L.A. rapper, a rare bright spot in the Coachella 2008 lineup, wraps his signature deft rhymes around an upended Four Tops sample.
Foxy Brown: "Star Cry""
I cry real tears 'cause I'm a real person/Look beyond my fur coats and Chanel purses." That's crazy talk, Foxy Brown! Her addictive new track details her troubles with parole officers and paparazzi, and the many other ways incarcerated hip-hop divas are Just Like Us.
The Teenagers: "Starlett Johansson"
These formerly obscure Euro synth-poppers name-check most of Scarlett Johansson's movies, insult her ex-boyfriend Jared Leto and propose marriage, all in three glorious, creep-tastic minutes. Until leaks surface from ScarJo's own upcoming disc, it'll have to do.
