Vampire Weekend covers Rancid
posted by jaymboller in music

Indie rock fans had a collective WTF moment yesterday when blog Abeano Music posted an MP3 of Vampire Weekend's cerebral take on Rancid's 1995 pop-punk classic "Ruby Soho." Link: http://www.abeano.com/blog/new-vampire-weekend-ruby-soho-rancid-cover-and-minimix The heavily buzzed-about neo-Afro-poppers yank the fangs from the original, but the spacey cover is a nostalgic treat.

My City vs. Your City
posted by ikes in music

This site is interesting, it uses last.fm data to compare what people are listening to in different cities and gives the two a compatibility rating. It would appear as though Minneapolis has music tastes that are much more similar to Atlanta than Las Vegas. [...]

I am so disturbed by Melissa! On KDWB they were having a "Group Therapy" for this girl Melissa who is getting married soon. She wanted to know how to confront her friend since 4th grade on being too FAT for her wedding. [...]

Lili's Burlesque Revue Presents the Best of Midwest Burlesk Opening Gala
Love this comment?

If you had attended the "burlesk" festival and then gone out to a modern strip club, I can guarantee you would had two wildly different experiences in terms of the sexuality on display, the talent level, the sexual and financial politics, and your overall enjoyment. You say "stripper" like it's a bad thing, but the neo-burlesque performers (which include a couple men) are quite another phenomenon.We can argue about roller derby later. [...]

I agree with Sophie. Being an artist myself I constantly watch the hipster artsy fartsies make up rules to try and back up ideas such as burlesque or roller derby. No one really cares about the derby, it's just scantily clad chicks putting on a show for the guys. Sure most of the girls are kind of punk. [...]
