Amy Winehouse or Dizzee. Or maybe Maps in a pinch. The others can toss off.

Of course, in this instance, "enormous pile of shit" means "stuff I've never heard, so I automatically assume it sucks." I'm more like Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer: "Your unknown indie rock bands confuse and frighten me!"

I'm listening to Basquiat Strings' "Double Dares" right now. I didn't see this coming, but it is fucking strings. It's the Kronos Quartet doing West Side Story., or some other languid drama type thing like that. I don't hate it, but I don't think it's worthy of the name, 'Basquiat'

Now I'm checking out New Young Pony Club's "Ice Cream." It's no Le Tigre, that's for sure. It's no Peaches either.

Check out either What's A Girl To Do or Sad Eyes. I can up the album for you, if you like.

thanks for the offer, but I can't do any of those media share things on my work account for a while. I'm just doing songs off of blogs. I'll try to check those songs out.

That video is like the David Lynch version of Lily Allen's LDN.

As much as I love the Winehouse album you'd think they could find a few more acts to pick from. Cuz like they're around and everything.
