Song of the Day - February 1, 2006

I guess I just can't resist Japanese influenced music. The latest band to catch my ear is the Buttersprites with their self-titled debut release. This album will draw you in despite the fact that on many of the songs you will not be able to understand the lyrics. They even throw a few covers into the mix with Altered Images "Happy Birthday," their variation of PIL's "Public Image" entitled "Yellow Fever," and Iggy Pop's "Dog Food," which is a real treat. Other recommended tracks include the angry "Fever," the upbeat "Fresh Mochi," and the enchanting "Cherry Blossom." My song of the day however is the pop sounding "Panic Attack." I especially like the Lene Lovich dolphin like noises as described by The Negative Creep. Click here to listen.
