Lasers and Lawn Mowers, Together At Last
The latest MP3s to hit the blogs.
1. Hot Chip, “Shake a Fistâ€
Six minutes of bongo-fueled mayhem, punctuated by Star Wars lasers and lawn-mower noises. Not that we’d expect anything less. [Stereogum]
2. The Coral, “Who’s Gonna Find Meâ€
The sixties-psych revivalists continue to work their way through the Rolling Stones’ discography. They’ve made it to Aftermath. [Dead Flowers]
3. Queens of the Stone Age, “Goin’ Out West†(Tom Waits cover)
Waits’s original is still the creepiest available version of this Bone Machine track — at least until Scarlett Johansson releases her cover. [Pitchfork]
4. Smashing Pumpkins, “Gossamer†(live)
This new, 21-minute long Zeitgeist b-side should help you reconsider dropping the cash for that upcoming Pumpkins reunion tour. [Culture Bully
5. Wilco, “You Are My Face†(live)
Probably the prettiest song that could ever be written about Jeff Tweedy’s face. [Culture Bully]
