All Of Us Sing About It
The Dandy Warhols “Plan A” – Thanks to Gaston, who told me a few times over to check out the new Dandy Warhols LP Welcome To The Monkey House, and was totally right about it. I always take it as a good sign when I want to post a song from an album on this blog, and I have to have a little pros-and-cons debate in my head about which song to pick. It was either this or the single “We Used To Be Friends,” but this one won out because I like that it’s the first song that I’ve heard that sounds like it may have been influenced by 13/Think Tank era Blur. Great Albarn-y falsetto on the verses, by the way.
Timbaland, Magoo, and Missy Elliot “Cop That Shit” – Please embrace the irony of downloading a song with an anti-P2P/bootlegging/burning-cds-for-friends message. (But do buy the new Timbaland album if you can afford it. No need to be too spiteful about it.) Those of you who may not get a mischievious thrill from that should at least listen to it for the great Missy verse about halfway through. Never stinking!
