Liz Phair Soberish

Various Artists Uncut: Bob Dylan... Revisited feat Richard Thompson doing "This Wheel's On Fire" and many others doing Bob Dylan songs for Dylan's 80th birthday on a bonus CD for Uncut, the great British music magazine.



SINGLES


Quilloughby "Everyone Is Horrid Except Me (And Possibly You)"(feat Lisa Simpson). Parody of Morrissey (The Smiths), feat the voice of Benedict CumberbatchMusic by Bret McKenzie (Flight Of The Conchords), lyrics by Tim Long, a writer/producer for The Simpsons, who wrote the episode "Panic On The Streets of Springfields". Lisa Simpson makes a new imaginary friend Quilloughby, a moody singer from the 80s band The Snuffs, who by 2021 becomes an overweight racist/bigot (sadly, much like real-life Morrissey). Team Morrissey cried foul against The Simpsons, which only sounded pathetic, along with the news that Morrissey has a new album recorded, but no label to put it out, as he was dropped by BMG last November, largely due to his racist & bigoted statements, which have alienated many former fans. We're just glad that The Smith's Johnny Marr is still cool, still rocking, and NOT a racist or bigot...

Wye Oak "T.N.T."

Lana Del Rey Three Songs from Blue Bannisters: "Wildflower Wildfire", "Text Book", and "Blue Banisters"

The Linda Lindas "Racist, Sexist Boy"
