What has caught the ear of the Texperts this week (23nd Feb)
Love- My Little Red Book. A classic cover of Bacharach/David from 1966. Nerd fact! Also covered by Brian Wilson as an out-take from the elusive Smile Sessions!
Weezer- My Name is Jonas. Fred and Thomas have been addicted to Guitar Hero III for several weeks, and this is one of the key battlegrounds…
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds- Dig, Lazarus, Dig. (single) The latest single from Nick Cave has Lazarus resurrected in New York…
Roots Manuva- Witness. Thom has had this in his head for weeks now. And it does have a great video…
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks- Jo Jo’s Jacket. In anticipation of another album from the former Pavement man, there is always time to listen to a classic.
UNKLE- Eye for an Eye. Darren is off to see UNKLE this week.
Mogwai- Punk Rock. Not many people would open an album by putting music to an Iggy Pop interview. But that all depends on what is being said…
Broken Social Scene- 7/4 Shoreline. The greatest song ever in 7/4 timing?
The Kinks- Waterloo Sunset. The Davies brothers has been bothering Henry’s iPod this week.
The Klaxons- Gravity’s Rainbow (Van She Remix). A great remix from Australia’s Van She. Thom hopes they get credit, as their “Kelly single was ace”.
Elgar’s Cello Concerto. Barbara says it reminds her of when she was a young ‘un.

That Van She remix is legendary.
I can think of a few contenders for that 7/4 crown though…

I’d like to add that I’ve also been seriously addicted to The Cinematic Orchestra’s “Ma Fleur” for the last week or more:
To Build a Home (Live at the Barbican)

“I can think of a few contenders for that 7/4 crown though…”
Agreed - for me it’s “Money” by Pink Floyd.
