El-P "Rush Over Bklyn" Remix
(via Pitchfork)
As previously reported, El-P's gearing up to release a new album, Cancer for Cure, on Fat Possum. Now, El has remixed first single "drones over BKLYN" as "Rush Over Bklyn", mixing in a sample from Rush's "Tom Sawyer". "Rush Over Bklyn" is the first official sample-based single release through Legitmix, a platform that allows producers and DJs to legally sample music from other sources without going through a sample-clearing process. (We previously posted about a mix Diplo did through the service.) Proceeds from sales of "Rush Over Bklyn" will benefit a fund for DJ/producer Mr. Dibbs, who is suffering from liver disease.

Yuck "Soothe Me" NPR Song of the Day
(via NPR)
Musical influence is cyclical and recurrent. During a time of wistful looks back at the rapidly retreating decade of '90s rock, it's just as prudent to look expectantly to the gangs of new talent ready to inherit a legacy.
Yuck's knockout self-titled debut, released in February, didn't pack quite enough punch for the young British players, so they've repackaged the album with six new songs for a "deluxe" edition due out Oct. 11. The bonus tracks are hardly filler, with each more than holding its own, and "Soothe Me" stands as one of the more interesting examples. Leader Daniel Blumberg explores the polarities of his vocal range, with a deeper drawl only heard on the original album in "Suicide Policeman" or "Sunday." Blumberg's tone is gravelly, casual and uncharacteristically listless, but he quickly alternates it with a plaintive high-register cry: "Soothe me / Don't use me / I'm not your oxygen." The contrast is affecting.
Thoughthe comparison isn't made often, R.E.M.'s recent dissolution makes Yuck seem all the more valuable. Filling the void with a distinct mix of volume, sensitivity and precocious naiveté, Yuck is there to remind listeners of a time when distorted guitars and unsullied sincerity were
gripping enough.
