Alright, there’s a lot of moving parts here, so stay with me: A few years ago, David Byrne (he of Talking Heads fame, amongst a million other projects) released a compilation of tracks by William Onyeabor, a Nigerian artist who recorded most of his output in the late seventies and early eighties. Just last year, Hot Chip covered “Atomic Bomb”, which was originally recorded by Onyeabor in 1978, for yet another compilation, this one featuring covers of the original compilation released by Byrne a few years earlier. Still with me? Good. Now, John Talabot has remixed that Hot Chip song into what your listening to right now. Confused? That’s OK. Hopefully you can still enjoy the tune.
It’s been brought to my attention that I forgot to post a song yesterday. I imagine this pysch garage thumper by Michigan’s Heaters is good enough for two days’ worth of posts. Call it even?
Check your April calendar… anything going on the 11th? Well cross that shit out, cause you’re gonna go see yourself a rock and roll show. The Mystery Lights play at The Shop with Pittsburgh’s own The Nox Boys and Dream Phone.
Somehow I missed this when it came out a few weeks ago. Grimes refers to this as demo-quality, but it sounds just fine to me. At the very least, the video (shot mostly in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia) should ignite some sort of wanderlust in you, which is certainly never a bad thing.
Featuring special guest Macklemore!
Tune into the show tonight, as there’s a special substitute-Jim coming in to play some of his favorite soundtrack music. I’ll also be there playing whatever’s caught my ear this week. Normal time and place, 9PM til midnight on 88.3FM if you’re in the city, or streaming at www.wrct.org anywhere else in the world.
