The Witches : Shivers

I came upon this Boys Next Door cover by a band called The Witches. They are from Israel and were apparently huge in the early to mid nineties. The lead singer died in a car accident in 1997. Nick Cave does background vocals on this, which is fitting since it is his song. This is a great version of this tune. Very moody, very fitting. I'm going to try and find some of this stuff online. I need to find a good place online to shop for LP's. The Witches translates to Hamechashefot in Israeli. Awesome.

Has Kanye Been Listening to The Kills?

I find this very interesting. Kanye's new single "Love Lockdown" sounds strikingly like The Kills' "Superstition" off of their first record Keep On Your Mean Side. I would also note that the drum line use in Kanye's song mimics the current use of the drumline in The Kills' "Cheap and Cheerfull", off of Midnight Boom. Coincidence? Only Kanye Knows, but i have a hunch. Have a listen for yourselves.

Here is Kanye's single "Love Lockdown" :

Who made who? I find it very interesting and understandible that Kanye would take on this new direction seeing as his life has been a shit storm latley. Cool to know he has been getting into the good shit. I cant wait to hear the rest of this record he has made. Cheers.

Current Favorite Album Covers

I havent heard either of these records. I would not be opposed to it either, but these record covers are fucking excellent. The first one is TI's new release "Paper Trail". Shit is badass and very un hip hop. Props. Second is Jenny Lewis's new record "Acid Tounge". I heard this was actually very good, so i may investigate.
