Song of the day

"En Particulier", by Blonde Redhead. Lovely song, this. Conjures the spirit of Young Marble Giants effortlessly, if a touch busier, and rolls along on a rhythm that is seemiingly the reverse of what it should be, just to keep you on (or off) your toes. I thought the Blonde Redhead of olden times were meant to be noisy f*ckers, but you can't tell that from here. (Did I ever mention that "23" is one of the great undersung albums of the last couple of years? It's got melody oozing from every pore.)
