Petra Haden and Bill Frisell - “Floaty” (Foo Fighters cover)

Artist: Petra Haden Track: Tattoo Album: Petra Haden Sings The Who Sell Out Label: Bar None Year: 2005

After years of Classic Rock™ radio (and it’s attendant cultural fascism) pummeling all the enjoyment I once had for The Who into a fine dust… Petra Haden, with her a capella re-imagining of The Who Sell Out, managed to make it all sound new and exciting again.  Good work by her.

Return Of Gringo

Prince Fatty Meets The Mutant Hifi in 'Return of Gringo!' is the fevered and frontal lobe-damaged brainchild of Nick Coplowe (The Mutant Hifi) and Mike Pelanconi (Prince Fatty), the result of years of plotting, planning, laughing and procrastinating. Put simply, it is a surf/ska/spaghetti western soundtrack album for a film that is yet to be made. Think Dick Dale jamming with the Skatalites with Morricone at the helm, including appearances from Alessandro Alessandroni (the original spaghetti western whistler) and you're in the right section at the record store, although it is possibly a very small section.
