Make Me A Killer Addict
The Bumblebeez “Fluffy White Rabbit” – This is taken from the Australian group’s new EP Red Printz, which is an odd mix of lo-fi indie hip hop, electro pop, and punk. They’re sort of like the Australian Beastie Boys, but with a distinctly contemporary sound. “Fluffy White Rabbit” is the highlight of the EP, but “Pink Fairy Floss” is definitely worth tracking down.
Love Is The Blood Of Destruction “I Kissed A Ghost” – This is a selection from the recent Electroclash Vol. 2 compilation. Don’t let the name of the compilation fool you, though – this song isn’t quite “electroclash” so much as it is electro goth. I feel like I should be dressed up like Azrael Abyss when I listen to this.
Also: Sean over at Said The Gramophone has the new Modest Mouse single “Float On,” which I strongly recommend trying out. Modest Mouse can be a very frustrating band, since their material is often either mediocre or stunning, with almost no middle ground. “Float On” certainly falls into the latter category, and could be their best song to date.
Please note that despite a false start last week, Freaky Trigger’s new MP3 blog Pop Nose is up and running.
