MP3 Of The Day: Of Montreal- Jimmy (M.I.A. Cover)
-Kevin Barnes walking on stage at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, MI.
Ever the prolific patriarchal pop stars, Of Montreal have busted out yet another new tune. This one is in the form of a cover of M.I.A.’s sizzling 2007 track, “Jimmy”. Athens finest have slowed this track down into a funky disco swamp of fun. Kevin Barnes vocals come low and seductive, flitting about amongst a kaleidescope of effects. Nothing too out of the ordinary here, but another successful Of Montreal exercise in breaking a great tune down to its essence, and putting their own zany spin on it.

Smashing Pumpkins- American Gothic
This surprise release is a great way for Billy Corgan to start off ‘08. After a satisfying but questionable release last year with Zeitgeist, this fresh EP focuses on the acoustic side of things. Casting aside the gloom, American Gothic instead is filled with sunny, crisp tunes that beg for repeated listens. The new direction borrows heavily from Corgan’s days in Zwan, but indicates that there are still areas he has not yet traversed. This release has single handedly restored my faith in the Pumpkins future. I give it a solid B.
