| 6. Mike Ganzeveld,
“LFO!” I wish these electronic guys would come up with decent
titles for what they do. It would make such a difference. Anyhow,
this is something Mike just sent me today: they should play it in
churches. It would put the fear of God into some of these priests.
7. Jonene & Tony Senghore, “Dem Bitz.” Another guy on the sane music-discussion board I frequent says Swedish experimental house music is what’s next. How can I resist finding out what’s next? This is pretty listenable, too, for, a minute-fifty of house music; not sure how much more of it I could take without some pretty serious pharmaceuticals, but as it stands, it becomes mesmerizing just as it’s about to stop. 8. The Streets, “Got Our Runnins Now.” At least I think that’s what it’s called. I got it online (you try finding a copy of something by a bunch of Brit wanna-be homeboys here in Ames, Iowa), where it was marked as “Don’t Mug Yourself.” Whatever it’s properly called, it’s a disorientingly slick blast of cross-cultural polysemination: some guy with an English accent so thick you can hardly understand what he’s saying half the time trying to flex all South Bronx on you over a beat that’s a hundred-plus percent Dr. Dre. First time I heard it I couldn’t get past how completely unoriginal the sound was; now I am completely addicted. This is great pop music. Period. His improv toward the end will have you rolling on the floor laughing. |
