who could forget my previous post about the english electronic band ? their first record was genius. beautiful synthy melodies with a friendly, melancholy feel. they made a second record that never came out. i got a hold of a few tracks and oooh damn, it’s good! it’s the same idea, but even more intensely so.

black sheep’s is undedniably one of my favorite albums and i am pleased to see that they dropped a new album yesterday. so if their first single is any indication, then this might just be a good album.

peep:
black sheep’s whodat from 8wm/NOVAKANE. 2006.

has tons of vintage scary album covers. each one is clickable and has all the audio available for download! there’s gotta be 200 of them. it’s mostly really campy stuff. there’s a bunch of kid’s records in there too. if you’re hosting a halloween party or just want to “get in the mood”, go grab some creepy music, stories, and sound effects. here’re some random bits:

do you ever meet someone and judge them by their ipod? you might be at a bar, say, dinner at limon in sf, or downtown at august in ny and your date runs off to the bathroom. you think to yourself, “i like this girl. mom was a teacher, dad, a doctor. family has good money, and she has down-to-earth tastes. that’s solid. she went to princeton but did a year volunteering overseas. hmmm, there is something going on here…but…what does she listen to?” then, you flip through the ipod and see if she is *clearly* the girl of your dreams. you click-wheel through. good stuff. mix of credible indie, and some majors–mf doom, peter, bjorn, and john, with some soulful van morrison and sam cooke. all the way around. good mix. she is a keeper…even if there is a stevie nicks track in there.
