Track: The Raven
(
$0.26
)
Artist: Lord Buckley
“Lord Buckley was one hip cat, an old white guy who performed with the craziest hipster slang you've ever been rapped at with. This track is the perfect intro to his spoken word stuff, a jazzy revision of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven," redubbed "The Bug Bird." Give it a listen, you'll flip your wig.”

Track: I'm Wild About That Thing (The Lost Sex Tapes Posi
(
$0.36
)
Album: Let Us Play
Artist: Coldcut
“Coldcut, the seminal cut-up artists who started the Ninja Tune label, cut together sex education tapes with assorted moans, throw in some spoken word from Maggie Estep ("Big girls, ooh! Bad girls, ooh!"), and the end result: a slinky, fun track that you'll want to hear with your headphones on.”

“"Rubaiyat" was always a favorite of mine off the Let Us Play album, opening with a sample of Beat author William S. Burroughs and continuing into some laid back drum-and-bass grooves. A nice chill track from Coldcut, two of the founding fathers of sample-heavy electronica.”

“It's the equivalent of cultural recycling. Ochre takes a default ringtone that most have heard often enough to hate--and can you believe that whoever invented that ring tone thought it was charming once?--and he grinds it up and gives it new life. Or maybe Ochre is the Rumplestiltskin of cell phones, turning them to gold. It's a valuable service and Ochre should be rewarded.”

“It's hard to put my finger on what about this track is so compelling to me. The drums that sound like they come from a Casio usually push me straight away from a song, but layered over it are some horns sounding like sick cows, so I don't know what to expect. Then the guitars come in on a wave of lo-fi shoegazer noise that comes in, and when Mlee Marie Suprean's voice comes in singing about going down to "where the train stops and the hearts break," I'm captured. Completely. And then she harmonizes with herself, repeating the chorus, and every bedroom rocker in the country wonders what they're doing wrong that they're not capturing magic like Hearts of Animals.”
