2.28.06 (Mclusky, Why?, TV On The Radio)
Mclusky
"The Difference Between Me And You Is That I'm Not On Fire" (download)
from Mcluskyism (3CD Limited Edition) out on Too Pure
It's a surprise to find this unreleased track (which also sports the title of their final album) on the aptly titled "C Sides" section of the definitive post-humous collection by the best band ever. It shows, to and even greater degree than before, the versatile nature of the rocking beast they had in them. It makes me think they should have had more to say. But alas the God of Rock deemed it not to be and smote the landdwellers for their praise of false idols.
Why?
"Dumb Hummer" (download)
from Rubber Traits EP out on Anticon
More Why?!! I wish every day I woke up there would be more Why?. I'd never get tired of it. I hear there's a little more Why? coming this year. And that's good news. I also heard that a Why? storke factory and managment facility is being built that drops little Why? babies on the porches of aspiring young couples to feed and raise, and that it should be open by early 2007. But I think I may have heard that in my head. If only we could dance like he does.
TV On The Radio
"Dirty Whirlwind" (download)
from Return to Cookie Mountain out on Interscope
Mastering the treacherous climb up Cookie Mountain and crowning the icy, chocolate-chipped peak as our own was hardly the end of the struggle. Because once you climb a Cookie Mountain, how else do you get down? You eat your way down. By the time we reached the base we'd lost half our men to sugar exposure. Those of us who survived walked shakily to eagerly embrace real earth. We all looked eachother over and smiled. We were all dirty. Because when you're eating a mountian to save your life, you don't worry about the crumbs. And dirty is the right sound for it.
Elevate me later.
