Let Me Let You Down - Chewing on Tinfoil

In case you were wondering, I've been doing pretty much all of my posting at Google+ these days. While that's been quite interesting for me, it does leave this lovely mess in a bit of a stagnant heap. I'm going to try to find a better balance but, for now, I wanted to add this lovely bit of good stuff from Chewing on Tinfoil in both places. Let me know what you think!





Harry's Circumcision - Lou Reed

While I've listened to and loved a lot of Lou Reed in my day, Harry's Circumcision is the one song I will recommend without hesitation when his name is mentioned. I've not actually heard anyone else mention it but to me it's the perfect distillation of Lou Reed's sense of humor and lyrical style.

In his memory, I want to share it today. Even if you aren't a fan, listen to the story he tells. Then spare a moment for the guy who could tell it.

Mashup of the Month: Beautiful Joe - Fissunix

If anyone can give Sean Kingston some flavor, can prove that the man would sound the same in front of a frenetic set of fiddles as he does a drum machine, it’s Fissunix. That’s precisely what the DJ has done with this Mashup of the Month: taken the R&B idol and backed him with the country-fried electro madness of Rednex and their take on Cotton-Eyed Joe.

If anyone happens to have a picture of Mr. Kingston sporting a beat-up cowboy hat and a pair of boots, I’d love to have it. This song practically demands one, particularly if it somehow gives the impression of his being at a hoedown.

As always, you can download the Mashup of the Month for free, this time from the official Fissunix web site. Here you can see a mockup of the picture I'm picturing, if that isn't too redundant. I think all of this Rednex is shrinking my vocat...uh, vocan...er, vocaz...my words. I'm off to read a dictionary. Let me know what you think!

Retreat! - Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

It's been quite some time since I shared anything from Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings but this brand-new video has me jamming to them all over again!
