Our B-Sides to Admire

The album is barely out on the streets and we have a b-side from Interpol from their latest release Our Love to Admire. The track seems to bring out the old atmospheric Interpol of Bright Lights (think a newer Leif Erikson). Perhaps it was their move to a major label that caused this track to be nixed from the current domestic release. But thankfully, there are imports and this track is found on the Japanese version. As well as the upbeat instrumental track Mammoth (Also on The Heinrich Maneuver single).

Oh and Carlos D has an Italian Greyhound. I know I have said this before but my dog is better looking.

Either way, the tracks are pretty good. As well as The Scientist Remix of The Heinrich Maneuver. Maybe if you guys are nice, I put that out there for you guys. In the meantime, enjoy...

23 + 2

Blonde Redhead strays even further from their Sonic Youth beginnings with their newest album 23. The follow up to Misery is a Butterfly was going to be difficult, everyone knew that. The emotion that went into recording it would be too difficult to recreate.

Perhaps Kazu Makino's wounds have healed (a horrible horse riding accident that left Makino bed ridden, inspired much of Misery is a Butterfly) because the songs in the new album are full of hope and discovery.

They chose to go further into a blissful dream pop but with muscle. The beats and bass lines are still there. Here are two bonus tracks from the Japanese import.
