News This Week's Mercury Music Section
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Another week, another Mercury music section to read while you prepare your jet pack. It's about damn time. Now where's my hoverboard?
Janelle Monae is just your average Outkast-approved, Prince-endorsed, sci-fi obsessed, cyborg love story writing, pop star. Yup, there just aren't any musicians doing anything new these days.
LISTEN:
Janelle Monae - "Many Moons"
As a proud member of the Jew-run media, I am obligated to run at least one Jew-related music piece every week. That would explain why this paper's fanatical Steely Dan coverage only mentions Donald Fagan (chosen person), and never Walter Becker (worthless gentile). Anyway, here are the Silver Jews. (They're easy, the word is right there in the band name).
LISTEN:
Silver Jews - "Suffering Jukebox"
The Shaky Hands show a little soul. And a lot of skin. Just kidding. They're clothed. I swear!
LISTEN:
The Shaky Hands - "We Are Young"
It's been 20 years and David Gedge of the Wedding Present is still sad. You know they make medicine for this sort of thing, right? It's called gin, and it's amazing.
LISTEN:
The Wedding Present - "Don't Take Me Home Until I'm Drunk"
Oh, but we're not done. In this week's music columns, Cary talks about Temper from Benoit Pioulard, while I interview Musee Mecanique about their new album, Hold This Ghost.
LISTEN:
Benoit Pioulard - "Golden Grin"
LISTEN:
Musee Mecanique - "Two Friends Like Us"
