KaKa – It's a Long Shot
(from Swedes Please)
Mercifully/disappointingly not a novelty football record by the AC Milan wunderkind on the perils of shooting from outside the penalty area. Almost as sweetly delicious as his best play though.
White Fang – Space Gemz
(from Pampelmoose)
After wandering through the metaphysical rock finally gets dumb again. Three chords, one time signature: Francis Rossi would approve.
Beast – Mr Hurricane
(from Zeon's Music Blog)
A bit "believe the hype"-era Jamie Lidell. A bit Alabama 3. And nothing at all like Beast's Betty Bonifassi's previous incarnation – one of the singing voices of the three elderly ladies in Sylvain Chomet's Oscar-nominated animation Belleville Rendez-Vous.
Golden Triangle – Prize Fighter
(from MySpace via Covert Curiosity)
Coquettish guitar pop from (where else?) Brooklyn. Sprints endearingly along for exactly a minute and a half before boring itself and falling into a giggling heap of riot grrrl-ish cacophony. Oh you trendy things, you.
Shield Your Eyes – Come On Melissa, Are You a Kisser?
(from MySpace)
Last week angry young man (we assume – they're normally men), stealthbanana lambasted NMOW for promoting "middle-of-the-road, corporate-approved shite" on the blog. He kindly supplied us with some more curbward selections, with London trio Shield Your Eyes proving the strongest. More of your (polite) suggestions below please.
