You might have heard Solange Knowles’ cover of Dirty Projectors’ indie-r & b smash hit “Stillness is the Move” but now White Rainbow, ex-label mate of the Dirty P’s presents his “double-dipped, flanged and screwed,” slowed-down version of the Solange cover. You can check it out on his Tumblr, it’s pretty great.
And you might have recognized the beat on Solange’s cover is taken from Erykah Badu’s “Bag Lady,” which is below if you haven’t heard it (you should).

So here’s a little bit of news for all you Hercules & Love Affair fans desperate for any news (there isn’t a lot).
You might remember that they put together a mix of a bunch of obscure disco songs but also snuck in their own new track “I Can’t Wait.” At the beginning of December they’re going to release that song as an exclusive single to celebrate their upcoming tour in Mexico and Europe. These are the first live dates in a long time for the band, so if you’re in any of these cities, don’t hesitate to go.

Also, Andy of H&LA put together this remix of Lady Gaga’s so-awful-it’s-catchy “Bad Romance” so check that out too (if you dare).
I haven’t mentioned Joe Goddard of Hot Chip’s solo project yet, have I? Well I don’t know much about it except that his album Harvest Festival is out featuring the first single “Apple Bobbing.” I haven’t heard anything from the album except this remix by Four Tet of the single.
You can buy the Apple Bobbing 12″ or digital download from Greco-Roman Records.
PS sorry about the lack of mp3 downloads/new artist posts. I haven’t been feeling like blogging lately! This is what cold weather does to me.

You might have heard of the comedy duo ThunderAnt, aka SNL’s Fred Armisen and ex-Sleater-Kinney/current NPR blogger Carrie Brownstein. They’ve done several hilariously quotable videos, and now it looks like they’re ready for a music video!
According to their Facebook page, St. Vincent played at the Women and Women First bookstore (from ThunderAnt’s videos “Feminist Bookstore” which you can see on their website). This was back in September, so hopefully the video will surface one of these days.
