Five things that caught my ear and eye this week: Panda Bear and Sonic Boom go mariachi, 'Flipside' hits home, Bono is slightly less insufferable for a moment, and more.
Always seemed to me that "If I Had a Hi-Fi" kind of tumbled out without much fanfare. (Like that Minor Alps record?) Ran across it at (the late, I believe) ear-Xtacy in Louisville on the way out of town to hit the Bourbon Trail. Had never seen the video. Now do the cover of Bill Fox's "Electrocution!"
It did sneak out there, but it is as strong as anything in their catalog. They make everything their own while maintaining fidelity to the spirit of each pick. They deserve praise for showing us what Bill Fox could sound like in a studio.
