polvo - beggar's bowl

i don't know how i missed this but one of the best bands of all time is apparently back in action and has a new album coming out in september. frankly this is more exciting than chrome OS. the link to the song is hijacked from stereogum.com - i just couldn't resist. it is probably another sign that i'm out of touch but stereogum.com has a couple of interesting track-by-track cover albums available free on their website.

Nadja - Only Shallow

i didn't quite see this one coming - a covers album by the fuzzed-out Nadja! it kicks off, or rather meanders off, with perhaps a little too faithful rendition of only shallow (which of course means that it is still pretty damn good). it is not a stretch to see how Nadja's drone get's applied to gem's like Codeine's 'pea' but the real treats here are the covers of a-ha's 'the sun always shines on tv' (the album title cleverly combines the opening lines of 'pea' and the title and a-ha's 'classic') and elliott smith's 'needle in the hay'. and it goes far beyond being simply the 'oh look what they have done' sort of thrill. nadja actually adds something to a-ha's original and manages to preserve the spirit of elliott smith's song although it sounds vastly different. overall an unlikely success.

Papercuts - Future Primitive

white rabbits - percussion gun

Patrick Wolf - Vulture

Hmmm, interesting. After toying with orchestral pop on his last album, the Magic Position (see below), Patrick Wolf has now transformed into some combination of Marc Almond, Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails.
