Iceage - White Rune

A very promising, upcoming "punk" band.
More like this retro "post-punk revival" stuff. But where most of those bands go for more of the upbeat party sound, this one seems to take more from the darker likes of Joy Division, Killing Joke, and Bauhaus. I don't really see much point in a band like this existing, except for those who just really like that music and want more songs of the same, which I suppose is sorta legit (there's certainly no shortage of shitty blues/roots-rock bands out there, especially on the bar/club/festival circuits). Nothing new here, though.

You're being far too kind here.

after looking around the tube a little, i found my new favorite version of this song:

Ella Fitzgerald - Sunny

That arrangement!! Haha the key change at 1:23 is really, i don't even know what to say.
(The arrangement in Frank Sinatra's was nice too. Don't care for his voice though, not sure why I find it uninteresting...)

No. As much as I love Ella, and while she characteristically sings wonderfully in spite of the wretched musical context, this is some of her worst stuff. The performance with Tom Jones really illustrates what this rendition is: commercial lounge shit. That is a cool change, though. Look up Ella's stuff with Louis Armstrong and Joe Pass.

Wes's version of the same song was similarly an example of his lesser, commercial cool jazz pablum. Aside from the original, the renditions by Oscar Peterson, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, and James Brown are where it's at. That song has been done to death, though.

Eminem- When I'm Gone

Only good kind of rap: Songs with a meaning rather than just cash, women, and guns :P

But, dude, that's Eminem. >_< There's a lot of rap and hip-hop outside of the minstrelsy of the mainstream. So-called political/conscious hip-hop. Ditch Eminem, the misogynistic, homophobic, minstrel ass.
