First up,
The Jackson Five have been remixed along with a good many of their motown pals on
Motown Remixed (
iTunes,
Amazon) which takes the
Verve Remixed series to the next logical level. We heard the song "I Want You Back" the Z-Trip Remix. Next Queen-meets-Devo-esque
Sparks did "Suburban Homeboy" from their 2002 album
Lil' Beethoven (
iTunes,
Amazon,
Other Music). Next was Dalla... er, make that LA's
Sara Radle (she recently relocated from Texas to California) did "Dig Those Sounds" from her most recent EP
People You've Been Before (order from her label
Jeez Louise Records). I have featured her previous band
Lucy Loves Schroeder on
The Sounds in My Head before (
listen to the August 9th, 2004 show, it's also all in the
archive).
Sara Radle also has a new album coming out this fall so be on the listen-out for that. And finally, Virginia's
Sparklehorse did "Gold Day" from 2001 album
It's a Wonderful Life (
iTunes,
Amazon,
Other Music).
