hey i’m so excited about that mix cd i made for my friend and by all the other great things that are happening to me at the moment - almost all of them unlikely and most of them probably undeserved - that i want to share some love. so i’ve decided that anyone who orders one (or both) of my cds for the rest of april is going to get a free copy of that awesome mix cd thrown into their package. love love love!

Skeletons & The Girl-Faced Boys - Fit Black Man
this band is on the ghostly international label. and this mp3 is hosted at the ghostly website, where they also have a few other tracks for download. and when i say a few, i mean, like, 12. ghostly seems to be essential listening at the moment, with a really diverse and interesting double cd sampler doing the rounds (this song is lifted from that sampler). this track stands out amongst more technical (distant maybe?) electronica/house type stuff that, as interesting as a lot of it is from a production kind of perspective, isn’t the kind of thing i’m going to be going back to next year, in five years, in ten years. this song though is something else and i don’t know how to describe it which is always a good thing. doom lounge soul rock? gotta love those lame compound attempts at nailing a song into some kind of context. you only really need know one thing - “this guy can’t control the shape of his face.” true that.
