I've been listening to some really great music lately, which I thought I'd recommend:

1. Congotronics 2 - V/A - This is a compilation of bands from Kinshasa, released by the people who brought Konono No. 1 to international (European/North American) attention. Nine tracks by nine bands, and at least 3 of them are house-flatteningly good.

I've been listening to Nouvelle Vague (French chanteuse covers of 1980s New Wave and punk hits, like Echo and the Bunnymen's "Killing Moon" and Dead Kennedys' "Too Drunk to Fuck"), and an old favorite, the Rezillos (Can't Stand the Rezillos LP). New stuff? The new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album. Pretty much, I've been listening to a lot of dance-y music that doesn't require "moves." My dancing looks like a three year-old on speed, or like a throwback to the '80s.

Last night I listened to Kelly Osbourne's "One Word." It's so catchy!

Woah - chanteuse cover of "Too Drunk To Fuck" sounds wonderful. I assume it's at like 1/8 of the original tempo?

No problem. Now where did I put my jetpack?
