I Love You On The Floor Today
Pleasure featuring Justine Frischmann “Don’t Look The Other Way” – I do believe that this is Justine’s first post-Elastica single, but it’s only a guest spot. I’m not sure when she’s going to be releasing more new material (It took, what, six years for The Menace to come out? I’m not holding my breath!), but this is very promising. She hasn’t lost her pop touch at all. I’m just wondering if this song is knicking its melody from a song that I either don’t know or can’t remember…
Peaches “Shake Yer Dix” – “Are the motherfuckers ready for the fatherfuckers? Are the fatherfuckers ready for the mother fuckers? No.” Yes! I’ve been waiting about three years for this song to come out – the first time I ever heard/saw Peaches was when she and Gonzales opened up for Elastica at the Bowery Ballroom back in 2000. About halfway through the set, they did this song, and I’ve been searching around for a copy of it ever since. It’s definitely one of the best songs on the somewhat disappointing new Fatherfucker album. It’s not that the new album isn’t good, it’s just that it’s lacking some super-joycore disco songs along the lines of “Lovertits” and “Set It Off.” Too much of the record is really slow and drowsy sounding. That works fine for a song like “I’m The Kinda,” which has a great hook to it, but it just gets a little repetitive after a while. The collaboration with Iggy Pop is really cute, though, and boosts the energy level a bit.
