Q and Not U - “Line In The Sand”
Produced by Ian Mackaye in the year 2000. Little did they know they could’ve made a lot of money with the sound they transition to at the two-minute mark.
Vic Chesnutt - “Vibratile Nerves”
I had to join eMusic to download this song; you’re welcome. Apparently this was supposed to be on the album Distortion Petals, but I can’t find any record of that album ever having been released. It’s required that you mention that Vic has been a paraplegic since the age of 18 due to a car accident. Here’s an interview with Guy Picciotto talking about touring with Vic.

Joe Goddard - “Strawberry Jam”
Following in Cibo Mato’s footsteps, Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard has brought us an album based entirely on (or maybe just named after) food. Fellow Chip Alexis Taylor’s solo outing was a bit of a disappointment, but Mr. G’s work on Harvest Festival is much stronger, even bestowing upon us this quasi-banger. While not a wholly satisfying release, there are many moments that hint at greatness which probably just means these boys have saved their best for the new Hot Chip album while choosing to explore sonic territory in their solo efforts.
Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, China
What if they built a San Jose in China and nobody came?
Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em - “Turn My Swagger On”
Undeniably catchy.
Tragic
