While the cinetrix is otherwise occupied, the devil makes work for idle fins. I will be spending the weekend refining my revision of the River Cafe's pork shoulder with fennel. (Shaded in blue and marked "picnic.") While we brine, enjoy a track missing from Le Tig's iTunes playlist as per Mr. Stereogum. Scott has been having some fun with these lately. According to me, it is kind of assy that you have to have iTunes to look at the lists-- if you click on the link for the list, you are taken here, and if you click the"don't got iTunes, because neither I nor my computer are cool enough" button, it takes you to the "get iTunes: only poor people do not have computers that are good enough to run iTunes" page. Putting content behind a wall of proprietary software seems like the kind of thing that makes Mac heads call Bill Gates a grinch. Anyway, not surprisingly, the list is solid, though somewhat curiously constructed: 33 tracks, Kathleen gets to pick 14, J.D. 10, and Johanna 9. The Hives managed to get together and make concensus picks, and even Beyonce, bless her, splits her 30 picks evenly with whomever the other 66.6% of Destiny's Child happened to be that day. Perhaps I am, in the words of Axl, printing lies and starting controversy, or not. Anyway, this track is from one of Trevor Jackson's Playgroup releases, this one eponymous, and featuring more celeb cameos than a two hour Love Boat special. Given the ubiquity of Le Tigre, it surprises me that this track seems as dormant as if Vince Wilfork were napping on it. The production gives KH's voice a somewhat more menacing aura than usual, and the whole thing is hard to shake.
Buy the album, and enoy Shinehead stepping into Paul Simon's shoes.
Playgroup, feat Kathleen Hannah, "Bring It On" Playgroup, Astralwerks, 2002.
