Eddie Spaghetti – Cowboy Boots

eddie-spaghetti-sundowner

I have a soft spot in my early 20s heart for The Supersuckers, but following the release of the spectacular Must’ve Been High they fell off my radar, save the occasional blip over the years. Another one yesterday, when Eddie Spaghetti’s third (and forthcoming) solo record found its way through the leaky internet to me, and I was immediately struck by the choice to cover some old favourites: Steve Earle’s If You Fall In Love and The Supersuckers’ own Marie. The rest of it was no surprise – range, riffs, hooks, humour, and snarl – this record’s got it all going on and it goes on hard.

MØ – Get Raw

skweee-cruise

Skweee continues to develop quietly as an 8 bit synth-funk powerhouse, and even while dubstep has started to blur the margins in the last couple of years, it is known primarily as an instrumental genre entirely unique and largely isolated from electronic music production. MØ puts a little more pop and a lot more voice in the attitude, and is featured on the super-stellar Skweee Cruise compilation recently released by upstart American label Poisonous Gases.

Also: Dildo. Bong. Diamond.
