321 : Silver Columns

We have no idea who the mysterious Silver Columns is/are but this song sounds like Jimmy Somerville playing Mario Kart and that can only be a good thing. After the jump he/they talk dog shit and “the MP3 equivalent of AIDS.”

?: “1. The origin of the phrase ‘Pulling out all the stops’ comes from those push in things on pump organs.

“2. A lot of people who accidentally step in dog shit, throw their shoes away instead of cleaning them.

“3. In Germany, people actually eat ham and cheese for breakfast. And then again for lunch.”

?: “Our Lips Are Sealed by Fun Boy Three. There’s a few different versions, but my favourite is the full-album version, from the David Byrne produced, Waiting.”

“Star Eyes (I Can’t Catch It) by Sparklehorse & Danger Mouse (ft. David Lynch). Lynch’s voice on this is scary but beautiful.”

?: “We wish that the MP3 equivalent of AIDS would infect all computers
that engage in unprotected file-sex, forcing a new generation to trust
only in the aural-contraception of vinyl.”
