This week taking in new album tracks from Stricken City and Daniel Johnston, new singles from LCD Soundsystem, Two Door Cinema Club, Four Tet, Yeasayer and Kid Sister as well as a Hypnotic Brass Ensemble-bolstered version of Golden Silvers’ ‘Arrow of Eros’.
The original was kinda cheesy to begin with but this video has gorgonzola on a platter for me now. It reminds me of those mid-90’s hi-NRG dance numbers that came out of the US which were totally suspect then, except updated for ‘08: hipster DJs in hipster baseball caps, Kid Sister rapping instead of an R’n'B singer giving it socks, zeitgeist-friendly neon graphics, dance-offs and a general novelty vibe. Kid Sister comes across as eminently likeable all the same.
