It's just like yesterday around here
This got Boing Boinged many months ago, but Ethan mentioned he hadn't heard it yet, and since one of the underlying tenets of Comfort Music is to consistently remain months if not years behind anything resembling any kind of hip cultural phenomenon, here it is. It's, uh, a techno version of "Man Of Constant Sorrow", if, you know, you missed it earlier.
Skeewiff - O Skeewiff Where Art Thou?
Actually, as long as we're hanging out in the wayback machine, Todd mentioned he'd never heard the original version of a song my acappella group covered, so here that is as well. It's from the soundtrack to the excellent Monkees movie Head, which is a demented post-modern masterpiece if there ever was one. Its theme is a beautiful, beautiful song, despite having lyrics that are so psychedelic as to be almost nonsensical.
The Monkees - Porpoise Song (Theme From Head)
And this came on the station the other day, reminding me that it's possible there are people on the planet who haven't heard it yet - a situation that must be rectified. The premise: Björk and metal band Skunk Anansie team up to create a rock version of "Army of Me". The results: ass-kicking. I mean, seriously - you just think you've heard Björk scream until you hear this. From various Army Of Me singles.

These and other fine, fine tracks can be heard on Comfort Radio. See you next week.

for some reason it never dawned on me that the Porpoise Song was from Head. Didn't we actually watch that together about 100 years ago?
Love Bjork. Dig Skunk Anansie too. Got my first taste of them on the Strange Days Sndtrk. Good stuff. Happy too!
