Guero: New Beck Album
http://www.beckbeckbeck.net/news/guero
On his new album, Beck worked with producers The Dust Brothers, (Mike Simpson and John King) and Tony Hoffer. Jack White also recorded a track with Beck. The songs on Guero (Beck’s ninth LP or sixth major-label LP) are more in the vein of Odelay than Beck’s previous release, Sea Change. Of course, if you’ve been listening to Beck for a while you know his albums tend to shift in style. Guero = dancey fun guitar rapping kind of stuff (yes, that’s my best description).

Monday, November 15, 2004. Choon of the Week - Super Furry Animals "The Man Don't Give a Fuck" (Live From London's Hammersmith). Now, the reason the live version of "The Man." gets the honor of the weekly write-up is because the Furries, being a band that is exceptionally considerate, have released a live recording of the song as a single to accompany their greatest hits collection that just came out. Songbook Vol. 1, The Singles. Posted by Phil @ 10:02 AM. Choon of the year! Choon of the Week.

Mega Mega Mega: Choon of the Week: Jay-Z "Threat"
http://megamegamega.blogspot.com/2005/02/choon-of-week-jay-z-threat.html
Thursday, February 24, 2005. Choon of the Week: Jay-Z "Threat". Jay-Z inspires strong feelings: most I know love him yet a few of my friends who are hip-hop stalwarts think he is a cocky punk (which, of course he is). "99 Problems" was the clear choice off of The Black Album and was one of my favorite tracks of last year. However, I need to be so sin-ser - "Threat" has been getting increased spins as of late. But can you beat lines like:. B) "I will kill you, commit suicide, and kill you again". To quote...

Mega Mega Mega: Choon of the Week - Mylo "Muscle Cars"
http://megamegamega.blogspot.com/2004/11/choon-of-week-mylo-muscle-cars.html
Tuesday, November 09, 2004. Choon of the Week - Mylo "Muscle Cars". One of my many unifying theories on film and music is that success can be achieved through a great hook or line. Most films that remain in our consciousness beyond the initial viewing do so because they got a few funny lines (ask anyone who swears by. Mylo has been a very fashionable flavor of late on the indie-dance/hipster club music/whatever 2manydjs and Erol Alkan spin circuit, with Mr. Alkan himself reworking the ubquitous "Drop...

Mega Mega Mega: Choon of the Week - X-wife "Eno"
http://megamegamega.blogspot.com/2004/11/choon-of-week-x-wife-eno.html
Monday, November 22, 2004. Choon of the Week - X-wife "Eno". On their debut album (only available at Other Music and at shows),. The stand out track is this week's choon, "Eno." While the rest of the album has frenetic 4/4 rhythms, "Eno" stands out by sitting back in the groove of a 16th note disco rhythm. Throw some catchy guitars and keyboards into the mix and you have a perfect indie-dance song that can be sandwiched between "Girls and Boys" and "Common People.". Posted by Phil @ 10:06 AM.

Mega Mega Mega: Everything Counts in Large Amounts - 101
http://megamegamega.blogspot.com/2005/07/everything-counts-in-large-amounts-101.html
Monday, July 18, 2005. Everything Counts in Large Amounts - 101. Recently, I watched. For the first time. Not sure if the actual title is. Briefly, the film captures the band's 101st performance (at the Rose Bowl on June 18, 1988) during their. Music for the Masses. Perhaps what was most aggravating about DA was his M.O. for documentary filmmaking. As someone who came into his own in the sixties, at the same time as the cinema verite/French New Wavers (the original New Wave). Either there is absolutely n...

Tuesday, February 08, 2005. Choon of the Week: The Stone Roses "What the World is Waiting For". What the World is Waiting For". Writing about how good a Roses song isn't exactly predicting all star talent while it toils in the minor leagues - if you love music and have any inkling of an Anglophilic bone in you, you know that the Stone Roses started their career off with about as much bang as any artist possibly can when they released. The Complete Stone Roses. Which contains a horrible edit/remix of "I a...
