Did the song "Thrift Store Chair" inspire the chair mentions in the film Juno? I mean, this album IS about American movies, you know.

TOUCHED BY THE HANDS OF PRINCE

For those not hip to the FAT BOYS: These three morbidly overweight "dynamos" had as much old school soul and style as a chocolate cake has calories. Full of humor, full of fun, and full of pizza, the FAT BOYS are FAT, (and you know that they'll never be wack). R.I.P. Buff Includes the jam "WIPEOUT!!!!"

FATHER JOHN MISTY is the project of ex-FLEET FOXES drummer Josh Tillman. "Fear Fun" is a collection of lush pop songs with hints of country & 70's AM radio. Harry Nilsson is a heavy influence here with hints of Fred Neil, STEELY DAN, James Taylor & FLEET FOXES.

Straight-up, no frills rock and roll from this now-sadly-defunct midwestern band. Solid hooks and classic rock style songwriting kicks it up a notch. Noice!

A pairing so odd, that it makes so much sense; a few years ago, there were rumors about this circulating and now it seems it's true. Germany's legendary krautrock-art-terrorists FAUST teamed up with New Jersey's nihilistic hip hop scoundrels DALEK to craft some truly unsettling...um...kraut-hop? Hip-prog? Whatever it is, we can give you ingredients: frightening textures and sounds, gritty hip-hop beats, sub-zero basslines, primal homemade percussion and some fierce urban griots. Something to behold here...on STAUBGOLD.

2009 solo release from KNIFE member Karin Dreijer-Andersson - a much subtler affair, but still imbued with an impeccable sense of songcraft. These are not hot jams for your Saturday night, but rather beautifully arranged gems for your Sunday morning. Or a different Saturday night, if that's your thing. Which it should be. RECOMMENDED!
