McCrank's Juke - May Mix (2009)
McCrank's Juke - May Mix (2009)
Looks like The Coup's Boots Riley has joined guitar favorite Tom Morello to form Street Sweeper, which sounds like a Marxist/Rap version of Rage Against The Machine. I will check them out May 22nd. Likewise, new albums are dropping for Summer from some large indie acts. Iron & Wine comes to mind, along with New Wave Passion Pit and upcoming releases from Girl In A Coma and others. Is it me, or have a few bands ripped of Prince's pre-"Dirty Mind" sound? I am hearing that synth Minneapolis shit in Ciara's stint on SNL and form some of those garage-based MGMT wanna-be's. It's Summer so fuck it, hit-it and roll down the windows, crank style. I have to say now, now every children is a refreshing rock band that gives me the driving guitars and the indie credit I so crave. Peter Hook joins the Crystal Method, cause his solo shit ain't together and a whole host of other inspirations for May. Enjoy all the fuzz and beats! Bonus: The Twilight Sad - A cover of The Smith's "Half A Person".
