The Cure’s Triumphant-ish Return!
1. The Cure, “The Only Oneâ€
The good news is, on this new song, the Cure sound just like they did during their commercial peak. That’s also the bad news. [Burros y Perros]
2. The Rapture, “No Sex for Benâ€
This new Timbaland-produced track from the GTA IV soundtrack is awesome, even if your name happens to be Ben. [Hyperbole]
3. Bun B feat. Lupe Fiasco, “Swang on ‘emâ€
Bun B and Lupe rap about fast, tricked-out cars on this song from Bun’s upcoming record. The production makes it sound like they’re riding around in a Ford Model A with Elliot Ness in hot pursuit. [Attorney St.]
4. El-P, “Mike Douglasâ€
El-P drops 9/11 references over a sample of The Wall. Yes, this song is terrifying and should probably come with a prescription for Celexa. [ Passion of the Weiss]
5. Truckasauras, “Porkwichâ€
With a band name like that, you’d think of bluegrass or bar rock. Actually, they make synth-y dance music with a Game Boy and some keyboards. Shows what you know. [ Get Weird Turn Pro]
