Waddling Under The Beat

Edu K “Popozuda Rock N’ Roll (Original Version)” – The “original version” tag seems to only be in relation to the remixes on the same single. As far as I can tell, this is a cover of a cover of a cover. But let’s not get caught up in trainspotting – this is a celebration, full of cheesy pop metal riffs, favela funk, and lyrics offering words of encouragement to women with large asses. (That’s what “popozuda” means.) There’s even a strange nonsequitor reference to Star Wars! (Click here to buy it from Forced Exposure.)

Nous Non Plus “Fille Atomique” – Power jaunt au français! NYC-based RISD-educated Frenchies bop on a new wave guitar vamp like it’s a pogo stick, musically approximating the sound of exclamation points! EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! (Click here to buy it from Aeronaut Records.)
