candy & fruit

couple albums i had been curious without holding my breath about leaked recently, and to my surprise i was pleasantly surprised with some of the results.

Eminem - My Mom (prod. Dr. Dre)

Eminem - Underground (prod. Dr. Dre)

dr. dre's production is probably the saving grace for 'relapse'. that and slim shady's morbidly black sense of humor that pervades most of the album. you'd think that his shtick, which hasn't changed since the slim shady lp, would have gotten tired by now. well it did, shortly after the eminem show. but dammit i'm a little embarassed to admit that this album, while small potatoes compared to the marshall mathers lp, was really fun to listen to.

Peaches - More

Peaches - Billionaire (prod. Simian Mobile Disco)

peaches is a pretty cool broad for somebody who occasionally dresses up as the bearded lady and refuses to shave her pubic hair. i don't know if you could call 'i feel cream' a feminist rallying cry, but i'm sure someone, somewhere, is considering writing her women's studies thesis on it. again, smart move by the woman who became a household name with the infamous opening line "suckin on my titties..." years and years ago to get some help on the production side of things. electroclash at its finest.

side note: word on the street is zshare is spotty, if at all functional, for a number of blog followers. it's always worked fine for me, but hey, the customer is always right. even if they're getting the product for free. so i'm using a new server, which is better because it can let you just play the mp3 right off the blogsite. if you wanna download it, just click 'divshare.' it's that easy.
