10 Songs

Rafter's 10 Songs

Asthmatic Kitty is set to release Rafter's 10 Songs on September 12. Rafter has worked with Pinback, Castanets, Black Heart Procession, The Album Leaf, and just about every other good band ever from San Diego, but you probably know him from his work as a member of Bunky. From the AK website:

"This pop gem has been buried in the rough since 1998, when Rafter put the finishing touches on his garage-built masterpiece and called it 10 Songs...Some simmering impulse in Rafter's soul told him it was time to create an album of beauty, and so he went to work on ten luscious, wistful, sad and beautiful songs (after it was finished he suspected it was all to get the ladies to like him...)"

wamp wamp (what it do)

You guys seem to never tire of the mash-up, especially when people keep sending me ones that are this good. Aaron Brink of Chicago's May or May Not sent me this one, in which he artfully mashes the Clipse's "Wamp Wamp" with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth," and they sound like they were made for each other.
