Cover Up: Barrett Strong, Gloria Jones & George Clinton

DJ GrannyYou know when you discover the original of a track that you didn’t realise was a cover? Here are two examples of said type of tracks; Gloria Jones’ ‘Tainted Love’ and  Barrett Strong’s ‘Money’. Both are totally rad, but both have been totally overshadowed by their later covers.

The Gloria Jones track was originally recorded in 1965 and covered by Soft Cell in 1981. While the Barrett Strong tune has been covered by a shitload of artists, but The Flying Lizard’s version is the one you will see on rage and being played in indie bars.  Enjoy!

Sample Snitching: Xzibit and Gabriel Faure

Gabriel Faure

When I’m not listening to songs about sex, money and violence, I like to fill the room with one of my favourite French romantic composers, Gabriel Faure.  Pavane in F-Sharp Minor is a piece he composed in 1887, and was sampled more than 100 years later by Xzibit. At the time when he wrote it, he was unhappily married and earning very little for his compositions, which were selling for about 50 Francs to the publisher. He was a bit of a depressive, pedantic sort of a chap. In his time off from his day job working as a church organist, he would write these large scale works and a couple piano pieces, but unhappy with how they were received he would destroy them just after a few performances. Here is the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra playing one that thankfully survived.

Wiley’s Zip Folder Giveaway Bonanza… Our Favs!


So a week or two ago Wiley had a bit of a spaz and decided to put up all his unreleased material online in about 10 separate zip files, including an album which he just signed a deal for. I been working my way through the zips, and thought I would share some of the gems I found amoungst all the half finished tracks.

One of the standouts is ‘Georgeous Girl’, where Wiley gets his Shakespeare on with lines like “She had eyes like Granny Smith apples”. Breath taking!

Download: Justin Bieber – Baby (EL-P Remix)

justin bieber cut into arm
I almost spat coffee at the computer screen when I saw this one. I did this interview with El-P ages ago. One of the things we were talking about is a bet that he made with a friend that he couldn’t make a happy song. Years later El-P remixes Justin Bieber and he still manages to come out losing that wager.

Quickly have a listen as two polar opposites collide. You have only a few minutes before this very song creates a contradiction in the music time continuum causing the universe to implode on it’s self.
