I’m really excited about the new Shakira album. Did It Again, from the little samples I’ve heard, is an awesome, awesome song. I mean, I’ve only heard it in its entirety twice, and both times coming out of my crappy computer speakers, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being one of my songs of the year. Here she is, performing it on Saturday Night Live last week.
Speaking of videos, Vanity Fair has the new Fever Ray clip up. It’s a cover of Nick Cave and Anita Lane’s 1986 song Stranger Than Kindness. It’s a really awesome video and a very cool song (though I can’t say I’m familiar with the original.) It’s so awesome, in fact, that Vanity Fair thought it was okay to introduce it with the phrase “You. Hear It. First, muthafuggaz!!” (I don’t know, is that the normal writing style for Vanity Fair? I guess I haven’t read it in a while.) Fever Ray will be releasing the deluxe edition of her self-titled debut album this November. Hear that, Santa? (more…)
