I Hate To Think About It

Freddy Wilson “Where Is She?” – File under: I Can’t Belive It’s Not James Brown. This melancholy slow burner is from the b-side of Wilson’s 1972 “Promise Land” 7″ on the Eastbound label, by way of the Downtown Soulville 2003 marathon premium cd Mr. Fine Wine’s Detroit Soul.

Hush “Ghetto Mantra” – Though not quite “more Bollywood material!” as requested in yesterday’s comments, this sitar-heavy hip hop track should satisfy those interested in bhangra/rap crossovers. As far as I can tell, this is only available as a UK white label, and on the Urbanstars Vol. 2 compilation.

The Fiery Furnaces 3/26/04 North Six, Brooklyn

I’m going to put this all here in this entry, so I don’t knock things off the front page prematurely.

Setlist: I Lost My Dog / Broke Mind –> Spaniolated –> Single / South Is Only A Home –> Quay Cur (only the first section) –> Bow Wow –> Inspector Blancheflower (only middle section) –> Don’t Dance Her Down / Inca Rag/Name Game / Up In The North / Worry Worry / I’m Gonna Run –> Leaky Tunnel –> Blueberry Boat (only middle section) –> Asthma Attack / Crystal Clear / Tropical Ice-Land // Two Fat Feet (Matt & Eleanor only) / Bright Blue Tie (Matt & Eleanor only) / Chris Michaels / Rub Alcohol Blues (Matt & Eleanor only)

Reviews of the show can be found on A Face In The Crowd, Clap Clap and Freezing To Death In The Nuclear Bunker. The latter has a scan of the setlist too, so you can see how that matches up with the proper running order as listed above.

It was a pretty amazing show, and much better than the last time I saw them at the Mercury Lounge. I will write about this in detail later on.
