Been on an adventure lately? Maybe this will help get you off your ass.

Nice to see that Parker and Co. have figured out how to pull of most of his studio tricks in a live setting.
There’s a lot going on here, mostly positive (I see you back there, Warren Moon). Casablanca’s droll vocals can still be charming in the right context, and it’s nice to see Beth play something besides “brooding frontwoman”. But the best thing here is the song itself, a cover of a one-off collaboration between Lydia Lunch and early Danish punks Sort Sol.
You might’ve heard me play this one on the radio show a few times, but now you can experience it in video form.
This synth hook will be stuck in my head for days, so might as well get it stuck in yours, too.
This is some good power pop here. Hailing from Canterbury, this is from their recent EP Cuppa Jarra Brossa.
First off, let me mention that this video isn’t safe for work unless your boss is into some weird shit.
Anywho, apologies for my lack of post yesterday. I got busy and somehow wound up in NYC. Not that I’m complaining about that at all. Then I went here! And saw Kim Gordon help cover “Sister Ray”! And watched Lee Ranaldo play “Eric’s Trip” with Parquet Courts as his backing band! And about a half dozen other relatively cool things! All in all, not bad for a day that started off working in Philly.
PINS put out a really underrated LP earlier in the year. The video for “Got It Bad” is as good a reminder as any to go back and revisit it.
