Song of the Day | Madvillain - “Great Day Today”
How is your day so far? If your spirit is also weighed down meteorologically and metaphorically by dreary weather and rumbling thunder, give it a dose of Madvillain (aka Madlib and MF Doom), from 2004’s Madvillainy. It’s not a matter of ‘zeroing out’ such an awful day with a burst of sunshine pop; sometimes you just have to feel too cool for it. Let Madlib help.
this is the most awful thing ever
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti signed for 4AD recently. Good for him. He also has a single out, “Round and Round”. Doubly great for him (shame it sounds like Hall & Oates on a lot of depressants, but even worse). This, however, the artwork from the single, may put a few potential listeners off, while simultaneously exciting those who “get it” and enjoy shocking us squares. I like to think that I have a strong stomach, but this image disturbs me on every possible level, viscerally so. It is so majestically awful, it awakens a nauseous, searing anger within me (a bestial anger?) that confuses me, deeply. So congrats, Ariel, your Haunted Graffiti, and whoever the hell drew this: you’re a bunch of dirtbags.
