Not to be confused withe Eazy-E song of a similar name, this energetic track from band’s debut, With Love and Squalor, is the catchiest song on the album. The band’s frenetic sound is similar to the Strokes and Franz Ferdinand.
Listen to the full song here.

Adding insult to poor Boy George’s self-induced career injury, Culture Club are apparently looking for a new singer.
According to RememberTheEighties.com, an advertisement from Belerion Records has been circulating on the internet which states that the “original members of Culture Club are searching for a unique star vocalist” and are not interested in Boy George clones but instead want a “charismatic & unique performer in his or her own right with something truly fresh, contemporary and original to offer.” The advert also states that the singer is wanted for a world tour and TV series in 2007.
Okay, I know it worked for INXS, but, come on, if it wasn’t for Boy George, Culture Club wouldn’t have made it any bigger than, say, Roman Holliday. He WAS that band. This smacks of desperation worse than any move by any ’80s band that I can think of…and, baby, that’s saying a lot.
With a new “best of” compilation hitting the shelves this week (notice it’s not being dubbed “greatest hits”), the fabled Replacements reunion is as close to reality as ever. There are two new songs included which resulted from a brief studio session last year between Westerberg, Stinson, Mars, and longtime touring drummer Josh Freese. Considering their proximity to age 50, one can only imagine that their once-fanatical live shows will likely be tamer. Although having seen Westerberg solo several times over the past decade, I wouldn’t expect to see three guys in rocking chairs and argyle sweaters, either.
So greatest hits be damned! Here are the Deep Cuts from one of the most prolific underground college bands to never really get known…
Rufus Wainwright – son of Loudon III, brother to Martha – has once again embraced his total and utter gayness (not that there’s anything wrong with that) by paying tribute to Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall…but, oh, what a tribute!
According to Playbill.com, “complete with a 40-piece orchestra, Wainwright recreates the original April 23, 1961, concert she performed at the height of her late career. ‘The greatest single night in show business,’ as it was called, featured Garland singing 26 standards, show stoppers and songs from her films. Wainwright performs his own interpretations of the songs — not mimicking Garland — over the same orchestrations.”
The number of show tunes performed by Wainwright over the course of the evening would make any straight man in the audience go gay before intermission, let alone the end of the night…and, yet, damn, as a Wainwright fan, I gotta say, I really hope they release a CD or DVD of the evening.
To counteract this post, I’m now going to go watch a John Wayne movie and embrace my heterosexuality.
Granted, after eight albums, I’m a little late to jump on the Super Furry Animals’ tiny bandwagon, but their new(est) disc, Love Kraft, is pretty damn good, and “The Horn” is the most accessible single of the bunch. “Psyclone!” and “Zoom” are the other big highlights, but the whole album, consisting of less SFA psychedelia and more pop, is pretty solid.
