You Schmooze You Lose: Jeremy's Iron

This installment of You Schmooze, You Lose is a mash-up of neo garage and old favorites. Your DJ is out of her slump and ready for action. Tonight's lineup will do the same for you, consensually or forcefully. So let's dust off the turntable and start spinning. You Schmooze, You Lose: An Imaginary DJ Set By Jennie Willis The Clash- This Is Radio Clash Introducing the Schmooze set for the evening is the untouchable, the undeniable, unstoppable Clash. DJ Motherfucker is kicking herself in the ass repeatedly for not including the Clash earlier. Never fear though, your silly DJ has come to her senses. So here is a track that is sure to bring you to your feet. If not, then something is seriously wrong with you. Ken Boothe- Ain't No Sunshine Moving right along, we have Reggae crooner Ken Booth's take on the 1971 Bill Withers Soul smash. This song has been covered countless times, but the Lovers Rock adaptation courtesy of Boothe makes it one of the standout versions. See for yourself. Thee Oh Sees- Graveyard Drug Party We are quite familiar with the surreal workings of Thee Oh Sees by now. But you need it in your life. Meth Teeth- World Is Going To End Soon A new favorite, Portland's Meth Teeth regale us not only with one of the best band names ever but also with refreshing lo-fi noise code violations. Psychedelic Horseshit- New Wave Hippies This track from shitgaze rabbel-rousers Psychedelic Horseshit proves that every generation has their own version of hippies, whether they're dropping the brown acid or renting lofts in Williamsburg. Abrasive keyboards and all-around hatred for all. Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk- Jeremy Irons Couple Skate Your DJ will admit it, she is not all too familiar with this band. Miss Motherfucker chose this track simply for the title. The thought of Jeremy Irons on roller skates does seem a bit ridiculous, does it not? Though we at the Schmoozer are confident that it would still be awkwardly sexy in a way. The King Khan & BBQ Show- Teenage Foetus Another group we need to do a bit more research on, and yet another selection that was chosen for the song title. Regardless, this track is a fun romp through the garage of absurdity. Woven Bones- If You're Gold I'm Gone Winding down the evening we have this last call sleaze fest from Woven Bones. You better stay away if you're a good girl, because these fellas want nothing to do with you. The Fall- Totally Wired Yes, yes, we know this is not the first time the Fall has made an appearance on the Schmooze. But come on, it's THE FALL! This selection is a classic track of post-punk paranoia. Here at the Schmoozer, we are always nervous too.
