The Electronical Rattle Bag
For Media Day - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy: ‘Television, The Drug Of The Nation’
“T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined
like “recession” to “necessary downturn”
“Crude oil” on a beach to “mousse”
“Civilian death” to “collateral damages”
and being killed by your own Army is now called “friendly fire”
T.V. is the place where the pursuit of happiness has become the pursuit of trivia
Where toothpaste and cars have become sex objects
Where imagination is sucked out of children by a cathode ray nipple
T.V. is the only wet nurse that would create a cripple”I LOVE this track/album/band! Thank you for posting it. I’ve had my copy of this album, long since stolen, and have this track in particular in my head a lot! this is fabulous!

barbque mojo returns, eyebrows intact
New Here We Go Magic!
“Collector” by Here We Go Magic
Luke and the band performed this song during a recent Daytrotter session, which you can stream and download here. If you’ve seen the group in concert (and you really should - the experience is nothing short of ethereal) you’ve probably already heard this one, but there’s nothing wrong with adding another Here We Go Magic song to the collection, especially if the songwriting is as clever and the hooks are as sharp as ever.
(If you’re in Chicago, the band will be performing at the Metronome Festival in Logan Square next weekend on the “Rock” stage curated by The Empty Bottle.)

Check out this group from down under. Album drops in early November. In the mean time, you know where to look for more:

“Jump in the Pool” by Friendly Fires
Like a poppier/disco alternative to Abe Vigoda. They’ll be opening for the lovely Lykke Li next week at the Empty Bottle.
(Speaking of Abe Vigoda, they’ll be playing a set at the Abbey Pub next Thursday. So many good shows, so little time.)
