Cornershop Presents Bubbley Kaur - Topknot

I wanted to do a vinyl rip of this, but records ordered on November 22nd still haven't arrived from snowy England, so we're doing this amazon mp3-store-style. I rarely say no to a double-tracked vocal and the chorus on this prayerful jam is no exception.

The Superimposers: Rainbow

Keith Mansfield: Big Shot [1975]
Skinnyman: Not Bonnie And Clyde [2004]

...and for kicks:
Keith Mansfield: Big Shot (slowed down by 8%) [1975]

This is the solution to this mystery.

The Mansfield track is originally from KPM 1156, "Metropolis". Also available on Shut It! The Music Of The Sweeney.

Buy Skinnyman here.

Skinnyman and DJ Flip: Not Bonnie And Clyde (instr.) [2004]

Does anyone know where this bangin' loop comes from originally? Thanks in advance.

Buy it from Netgroove records.

Múm: Once a Shiny Morning Puddle [2004]

This is the b-side from Nightly Cares, which appeared on Summer Make Good. Mum is my favorite band, about three days out of the week. I think they're brilliant.

Buy the single here.

Radiohead: Paperbag Writer [2004]
Radiohead: Where Bluebirds Fly [2004]

I was out vinyl shopping with Emmett when we found the Radiohead single There There, which is a nice purchase as an A-Side, but the two B-Sides on this record are even sweeter.

Paperbag Writer contains a mean funk rhythm that kicks in above the strings about 60 seconds into the track.

The abbreviated version of Where Bluebirds Fly served as an entrance song during Radiohead's 2003 tour.

Painting by the fearsome Jazione. (Private collection.)

Buy There There, and read insightful commentary on the A-Side such as "What follows the second chorus is, in my opinion a vocal very typical of the last two albums, which is by no means a bad thing, it actually acts as quite a distressing thing. The guitar then comes in, just to prove that even in a slowish song, Radiohead can still rock, although happily in their own special way" here. And be happy that we don't consider ourselves music critics at ArtDecade.

Miss TK & The Revenge: Unicornucopia (I Love Nico) [2004]

This post isn't as off-the-mark as it seems. I was thinking about Miss TK today, and their 2004 album which was released to no acclaim. I never mind hearing Miss TK coming out of the shuffle feature on my MP3 player.

Miss TK, when are you going to play NYC? I'd like to catch your 30-minute set sometime soon. Are you even real?

Buy Miss TK here. For reals.

And what's the spurious connection to the long 70s? See the post above.
