Her Booty’s Got A Rise

Shame 69 “No Business” – This could be the ultimate hipster novelty record – a cover of LCD Soundsystem’s “Losing My Edge” by a mysterious band on a split promo 10″ with Negativland featuring all-new lyrics full of nasty anti-record industry bile and slanderous slams on Gary Glitter. Shifting the point of view of the lyrics from that of a seen-it-all fan to the ranting of a bitter British record exec makes the song seem about ten times more desperate and sad, but I suppose that’s exactly the point.

Iggy Pop w/ Feedom and Peaches “Motor Inn (Felix Da Housekatt remix)” – This puts the Iggy/Peaches collaboration on Fatherfucker to shame – it sounds relentless, menacing, sleazey, and crazed whereas “Kick It” was just kinda cute. “Motor Inn” brings the scuzz, and it’s much better for it. The original mix of this song appears on Iggy’s most recent album, Skull Ring.
