Who's Blogging  |
A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind.
Pitbull: "American War" Pitbull turns Estelle's benign summer hit into the depressing indictment of the Iraq war we all knew it one day could be.
Santogold and Diplo: "Guns of Brooklyn" Department of Oddball Remakes, Take 2: The borough's hottest export teams with Diplo, transposes the Clash's 1979 classic "Guns of Brixton" into a dub-heavy tale of present day life in the 718.
One Day as a Lion: "Wild International" You probably stopped wondering what happened to Zack de La Rocha about five minutes after Rage Against the Machine broke up -- turns out he was putting a band together with ex-Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore. Will their new EP sound like a more electro, even less pleasant version of RATM , without the annoyance-mitigating presence of Tom Morello? Yes. Yes, it will.
Rush: "Tom Sawyer" Until this, Rush hadn't played on American TV in more than 30 years. And if their recent appearance on "The Colbert Report" is any indication, they haven't aged a day since (especially you, Geddy Lee). It's kind of spooky. (The performance section of the clip starts around 5:25.)
Native Korean Rock: "Rapt" These recently leaked, extra-lo-fi tracks from Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O's side project are pretty much what you'd expect: They're slight, super-serious and strangely transfixing.
