STREAM: One Cross Apiece By Obits

So, you all know about Rick Froberg's new band the Obits, right? Well, their first single is coming out on December 8th, 2008 via Comedy Minus One. More deets are here.

The A-Side: "One Cross Apiece"
The B-Side: "Put It In Writing"

I can't say I love love the A-Side, as the studio seems to have muted the Obits energy a bit. I was picturing something more, well, rockin'. It may just be that my expectations were raised to ridiculous levels by the live stuff floating around the internets. I should probably knock my expectations down a bit. I suppose that riff is pretty kickass. Sorry there's no mp3, just a stream. Give it a listen.

Stream the A-Side:

Reckoner (Low Scores Remix) By Radiohead

So you no longer have to stream the latest Radiohead remix by Low Scores.

Downloadable: "Reckoner (Low Scores Remix)" (box.net mp3)

Vote for the above remix... here.

I gots to say I dig the Low Scores remix a lot more than the present top three remixes [1] Baskfield, [2] The Deadly Syndrome, [3] James Holden (although that James Holden one ain't half bad, in fact it's pretty awesome). Also, Low Scores has additional remixes in the works. More on that later.

We Multiply By AIDS Wolf

According to Ye Olde Wikipedia:

The noise rock band, AIDS Wolf "didn’t come up with AIDS Wolf as a concept. The idea has been floating around in the public psyche for a while. In urban legend, wolves transmit AIDS instead of rabies; in depressing college towns, street gangs spray-paint ‘AIDS Wolf’ on the side of buildings." To find out what they did to this concept, click on the links below.
