We Had No Conception, Coming Out Of Nowhere

J.O.Y. “Sun Plus” (DFA mix) – This song is just…wow! The DFA strikes again; this time lending their signature sound to a track featuring Yoshimi of the Boredoms. It sounds almost like a Slits song turned inside-out, if that makes any sense. Mp3 removed at the request of DFA.

People who missed out on the mp3, but still want to hear the J.O.Y. song can listen to it in the archive of this week’s episode of Brian Turner’s show on WFMU.

X-Wife “Eno” – This is a selection from the Portuguese band’s debut album Feeding The Machine, which is only available in Portugal at the moment. Though the band is signed to an EMI label in Europe, some smart label should find a way to put out the album in North America, because I imagine that this could go over very well right now. They are sort of like a stadium rock Clinic, or a more keyboard-heavy version of The Clean. They definitely have a bit of that New Zealand sound to them, which makes me wonder if that’s their own quirk, or if a lot of other Portuguese bands are like this.
