Bruce Springsteen update
Not a criticism, but ‘Rosalita’ is really a remarkably ridiculous song. I’d look over my complaint about original soundtracks if Channel 4 made a programme entirely accompanied by Bruce Springsteen songs (the same goes, obviously, for Divine Comedy songs).
And, do you suppose Girls Aloud could be persuaded to cover ‘Dancing in the dark’?
Not a Bruce Springsteen update, but Common’s new album (available from a BitTorrent site near you) is very good. It includes some of Kanye’s best beats, I think; he expands his sample palette to include some soul tracks influenced by Afrobeat, which is nicely relevant to Common’s conscious lyrics. There’s also a great example of how Kanye’s samples and the lyrics can play off one another in Testify [MP3].

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It is excellent, probably due to its ridiculousness.
“Now I know your mama she don’t like me `cause I play in a rock and roll band…” indeed…

Quite. And what’s with the saxaphone part?
