“Fish Is Always A Kickass Opening Subject For Any Show”

The Jicks “The Fisherman” (live in Chapel Hill, 2003) – Here it is, finally, courtesy of Hunter. It’s such a shame that this isn’t a Malkmus original, it makes me melt and swoon every time I hear it. The Jicks really ought to put together a proper covers album/ep.

For those of you visiting this site who are not Stephen Malkmus obsessives, you can check out this bizarre answering machine tape taken from an episode of the Audio Kitchen. I’m not sure what to say about it, other than that it is a particularly odd and disjointed answering machine tape unlike any other that I’ve heard. It sort of crosses the line from found audio into unintentional sound art.

Also: Nate is absolutely right – “Shannon Stone” by Go Home Productions is a must-hear. Their “Christmas On The Block,” “Dirrty Magic,” and “Daft Britney” boots are also fabulous.

In other “bootlegs never went away” news, the Beyonce Knowles Vs. James Brown mash-up on page 3 of DJ Crook Air’s Sounds page is well worth checking out, as is Dsico’s Britney Vs. Chic “Goodtime Girl.”
