Cheap Trick- In Color (Steve Albini Mix)

Cheap Trick re-recorded In Color with Steve Albini in 1997, because they were unsatisfied with that album's original mix. Here's the unreleased (and in parts, unfinished) bootleg. It rules.

Black Tamborine "For Ex-Lovers Only"

Kind of feeling this song right now- Its the lead track from the recently released Black Tambourine retrospective on Slumberland Records. As a native Virginian with a (sort-of) indie rock pedigree, I just can't believe I'd never heard Black Tambourine before now.

M.I.A. "Born Free"

Whoa. M.I.A.'s "Born Free" has become an instantly controversial sensation. Be warned: This video's political narrative is delivered with shocking, unforgettable violence. Don't watch this if you're not up for being disturbed. Viewing also not recommended for school or office. Song samples "Ghost Rider" by Suicide.

M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.

Single Shot: Max Berlin- "Elle et Moi"


Max Berlin's "Elle et Moi" is a smooth rhythmic 1978 french disco track with whispered male vocals. Sounds a bit like a slow jam for sleazy old men. Regardless, this track is totally classic.
