Who's Blogging  |
A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind.
Jay-Z: "Jockin' Jay-Z," a.k.a. "Dope Boy Fresh" This Kanye West-produced track, apparently slated to land on the upcoming "Blueprint 3," implies that Hova is still kind of cranky about Noel Gallagher's Glastonbury dis. Never mind that even acknowledging Gallagher's existence is probably beneath Jay-Z's dignity at this point -- do people even say "dope" or "fresh" anymore?
Johnny Cash: "Big River" (Count De Money remix) From the Department of Things That Could Have Been Awful but Mercifully Aren't: The European duo Count De Money rework -- but do not harm -- a moderately obscure Cash song on this selection from October's "Johnny Cash Remixed."
Natalie Portman's Shaved Head: "Beard Lust""V for Vendetta" was something we'd all rather forget, but don't worry: NPSH doesn't really sing about Natalie Portman -- as with most electro-pop bands, their best songs are about themselves. In this case, the care and feeding of the lead singer's beard -- which, because he is a hipster, refuses to grow.
Bomb the Bass (featuring Mark Lanegan): "Black River" Bomb the Bass was one of the top remixers/samplers of his day (that being 1988, or thereabouts). His comeback disc features appearances by Jon Spencer and Fujiya and Miyagi, though nothing matches this contribution by Lanegan, doing his best "My voice is this deep because I am sad" gloom-rock thing.
Paul Westerberg: "5:05>" Westerberg's recent download "49:00," which was technically only 43:55 long anyway, was recently, mysteriously disappeared from the Internets. Released in its place: The remaining 5 minutes 5 seconds! Why? The world may never know. But after years of patience-testing songs about animated bears, it's nice to hear Westerberg getting sloppy again.
