Whoa.  Richard Pryor with the introduction.  I know it was the 70’s, but why is the violin player wearing a yellow caped superhero costume?

Twist of Fate - Bad Lieutenant - Never Cry Another Tear

This album from Bernard Sumner’s group is an evolution to the New Order sound.  Less dance, more guitar, but still has the familiar NO feel.  Good stuff.

Jay-Z vs. The Verve - Bittersweet Dirt Off Your Shoulder

I didn’t think I could listen to that Verve song ever again, but this makes it bearable.

New Music Week

SONG OF THE DAY

The Raveonettes

“Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed)”

from the 2009 album In And Out Of Control

They put on one hell of a show last night!

I have no problem with the lyrics of this song, but it is a hard song to put on with others listening.  I also think this is the best song on this album.

“What happened was, as a band, we never intended to record our music,” Stipe says. “We just wanted to perform live. We hit a wall with that when clubs refused to book us unless we had a record or a single.” Digging for R.E.M.’s Gold Outside the Greatest Hits : NPR
