Since I know how well double-hits, second doses, and the good ol’ fashioned rock-block (I’m sure a radio station in a city, which is every radio station in every city, has a “Led Zep get the Led out” programming double-tap) go over with you kids, here’s another, newer bit of Patrick Wolf, since, as Res friend Jill Dehumidifier put it, “that stuff was…kinda dark”. As such, here’s a little something to glitter up your strut, and to take a little chewychomp nibble into Hacks’ regular-like-FiberPlus Friday Remix Shits n Wiggles:
Mika: Love Today (Patrick Wolf remix)
If Lycanthropy, Patrick’s first album and the record from which the songs yesterday came from, can be summed up in one sentence, it’s “run run run from the childcatcher who will catch you and chop your penis off in your own shit”. This, obviously, is much newer than that-in fact, it’s the most recent output from Camp(or is it campy?) Wolfy. A re-take on Mika’s “Love Today”, this makes the original song’s vamping and posturing a bit more dance floor friendly, with Patrick taking over a bit of the laptop controls. I really do intend on posting more from Mika (whose “Grace Kelly” is one of the best, most obnoxious things I’ve heard this year), but I’m trying to prep myself for the inevitable Mika vs Scissor Sisters war that’ll result when I do (Mika fucking wins, in my book).
Once again-if you’re headed out to spend the night with Wolfy, say “hello, Resonator”, and if we find you we**’ll buy you a drink. And we’re hopping on the phone with Wolfy here in a couple of hours for the exclusive Resonator Mag interview-don’t worry, we won’t tell him his earlier stuff scares you.
***we=Trixie.
