Put Your Head Into The Speakers

Lenlow “Last Night” – Unlike The Grey Album and its ilk, this mash-up of songs chosen for their titular similarities (or, in this case, titular sameness) actually works and yields a cohesive, joyful tune out of three rather different sources – The Strokes, The Travelling Wilburys, and Kid N Play. If you’re into this, I recommend checking out Lenlow’s site, where there are more tunes available for downloading, including a song integrating Bill Cosby’s “Chocolate Cake For Breakfast” routine, which is something I’ve been wanting to hear sampled for years now. “Dad is great! He gave us the chocolate cake!” Yes yes yes! I used to sing that bit all the time when I was a little kid.

Circlesquare “All Sleepers” – This sounds almost as though it could be a gloomy, downbeat electronic answer record to David Essex’s “Rock On.” It’s a bit like a big rock anthem for people on barbiturates. This is taken from the album Pre-Earthquake Anthem, which is being released in the US on Output Recordings (home of LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, Colder, and Mu) in May.
