Today's Quick Mention: In case you haven't noticed, Pitchfork has
posted up their "Top 50 Music Videos" list. At the top, somewhat
surprisingly, is The White Stripes with Fell In Love With A Girl, and
the rest is a semi-balanced mix of pop culture and art. Not bad.
Check it
out.
With a new Why? album just around the corner (Eskimo Snow is due in
21 days), I'm looking for any reason to mention them, and their recent
collaboration with Themselves is really an example of perfect timing.
Only, I wish there was more information, as it would appear that the new
track seems to have randomly been created by the pair of Anticon acts.
Oh well. Enjoy.

And Themselves - Canada:
Before I even gave the song a listen or read a single word
from the press release I was expecting the vocal/songwriting
combination of Yoni Wolf (Why?) and Doseone (Themselves) to
be the most impressive part of the song. But, while
the two of them are certainly good, I think the lush
arrangement is where it's at. Actually, it's
undoubtedly what's most worth paying attention to.
This means you need headphones, so grab them, turn this up
and try not to zone out for too long.
