Boozoo Bajou Ecard

Friday, July 29th, 2005

If you were to lock M. Ward, Mirwais and Diplo into a studio for four years, they would come out with an album sounding and feeling something like Boozoo Bajou’s Dust My Broom. Dust My Broom (quite obviously a reference to the Elmore James album of the same title) is Boozoo Bajou’s sophmore album and [...]

In 1996, I listened to a lot of The Cardigan’s “Love Fool.” I had that song on repeat. It was hot.

I need… I need… Phones

Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

Phones aka Paul Epworth has remixed Bloc Party, New Order and The Kills. Well he can now add Goldfrapp to his quickly growing, high-profile resume. Epworth has taken this nu-Glam Rock dance number and made it sound more Black Cherry and less Supernature. Not that the guitar and T.Rex influences aren’t still there, but he’s [...]
