See here for insatiable funk gold and very rocky numbers. Thank god for the found soundtrack…

The Bar-Keys – Too Hot To Stop (opening)

The Rapture – The Echoes (played in the house party scene where Seth becomes a blood brother)

The Remains – Why Do I Cry? (backgrounded when McLovin is in the back of the police car)

KC & The Sunshine Band – I’m Your Boogie Man

Cities in Dust – Chop Chop You’re Dead

Guess Who – These Eyes (sung by Evan)

The Rolling Stones – 2000 Man (from the close of Bottle Rocket)

The Kinks – Nothing In This World Can Stop Me Worrying About That Girl (from Bill Murray’s bomb into a swimming pool in Rushmore)

Paul Simon – Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard (from the boy’s rebellion with Gene Hackman in The Royal Tennenbaums)

Peter Sarstedt – Where Do You Go To My Lovely (from The Darjeeling Limited)

David Bowie – Queen Bitch (from the close of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou that is a very cool tribute to Buckaroo Banzai)

Out 15th November…

Your Disco Song = banging, but could take or leave it in the end. Poison Lips is better. Terminateur Benelux is like Prodigy without having to listen to Keith fucking Flint scream ‘Take me to the hospital’ (Come on, we all know Warrior’s dance was the best tune on that album and Keith fucking Flint didn’t say a fucking word). When it comes to dance music, all you need is a gargantuan tune and any shitting vocal sample you like, don’t care. Let’s get on with it… Where’s the big bass line?…Why, right here:

However, his best move so far has been passing his Black & Blue track in to the trusty hands of Tiga (which was then passed in to my not so trusty hands by my good friend, Celia).

This tune, no doubt, was made for the club.

Listen here for acidic squeaks, bellowing tribal toms, vocal swells, reverb and a rocking sub bass line that you no more hear than you feel, if your subwoofers up to the job anyhow. Careful, this tune is so filthy you’ll need a hazmat suit to listen to it.

But here are a few reasons why Sub Pop is as strong as ever, even in the noughties, bar on-the-radar reasons like Postal Service, The Shins, Iron & wine, blah blah blah, fucking blah.

No Age – Losing Feeling

Sub Pop’s most promising outfit. These guys can swirl their sounds like any Slowdive or My Bloody Valentine can. This could easily feature on Lost in Translation’s soundtrack (ah 6 years old that film and I’ll never stop name dropping it, just try and make me).

Kinski – Rhode Island Freakout

Sonic Youth inspired? It grows into a super beast towards the end, trust me – a summer open-roof tune.

Band of Horses – No One’s Gonna Love You

Bit more recent than Kinski and a bit more reflective of Sub Pop’s current focus on Shinsy folk-inspired collectives.

Sera Cahone – Baker Lake

I included the vid to this one because it’s pretty beautiful, just like the tune. Ah, the sound of brushed snares, plucked banjo and acoustic guitar chords.
