On M.I.A.’s new album there’s this great Bollywood disco cover, Jimmy (which i played on my radio show last night). Gorilla-vs-Bear ups the original (youtube below).
tonite around 8pm I’ll be on Susanna’s Rare Frequency radio show (WZBC, 90.3 FM Boston area) “experimental music lovingly presented.”

buzz- maybe.. we’re workin on it. i’d love to make em downloadable but its illegal to do so for any RIAA music… i.e. i need signed release forms for every tune i play.. live sets are different though… long story. stay tuned.

wow! OK, so when I was in my early teens and lived in Iran, I had this mixed tape that my cousin had give me, which had this awesome French song that we used to sing along to, even though we had no idea what the heck the vocalist was saying in French. Hearing this Bollywood “Jimmy” made me realize it is the same song. Who does the original of this? It is killing me!

hey buzz- if you want an mp3 copy of the show (and your using a mac) do the following
download sound flower (http://www.cycling74.com/products/soundflower) which is a digital routing/mixing application
download audacity a recording editing app
both are FREE
Stream the show in your proffered format (real and itunes supported) use sound flower to route to the sound through audacity and record using audacity- recording is real time so go to the corner store or something.
when the stream is finished recording export as Mp3 and……
BOOM!

I like “lovingly presented.” A nice tone to take with experiments.

LOL, I love the MIA song, but if this is the original, I can hardly even tell the difference. I usually like covers to at least present some new take on the original. Oh well, great song either way. Thanks for the video!
