Apologies for missing last week's post - I was in the wilds of Oklahoma and Kansas on a stormchase. It would have been fine if we'd got a tornado, but sadly we only got a couple of funnels. Damn. Never mind, hope these tracks make up for it.


LCD Soundsystem vs John Cale - All My Friends

The informed among you will know that the next LCD Soundsystem single in the UK is 'All My Friends' on May 28. Bit of a bizarre choice, if you ask me, but ah well. Backing the single are some covers of All My Friends, and one remix. The covers are by John Cale and Franz Ferdinand, and above is John Cale's version. It doesn't deviate hugely from the original, but puts a different slant on it. I'm looking forward to hearing the Franz Ferdinand version, so if anyone knows of a place I can get it, then do let me know.


Spank Rock vs Justice - Thunderous Bump (Back to Japan Edit #2)

I played this to my girlfriend. She didn't like it. I think it's awesome. Amanda Blank's rap is crazy awesome, especially when it doubles in speed halfway through, and backed by Justice it's mindblowing. I'm going to be dropping this at every possible opportunity when I get back to the UK and someone lets me in front of some decks.

EDIT: I should mention that (completely unintentionally) this post is nearly a carbon copy of this post on Headphone Sex. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and in this case that's certainly true. Headphone Sex is an AMAZING blog that never fails to post good music. If you like WNR?, make sure you check out Headphone Sex too.
