Lush / Voodoo Warriors of Love
Wow, it's the blog's birthday today, and what present did we get it?
A BIG FAT REDESIGN!
I know, I know, the love really shows.
On behalf of all of us here at the Comfort media empire, thanks for sticking around for an entire year. Honestly, I would be getting very sniffly right now if I was capable of any kind of real human emotion. Don't forget - all this week, Comfort Radio is featuring an all-Comfort Music playlist, enabling you to dig those glorious tracks all over again, only this time compressed even further!
And now, on with our trip down memory lane, with color commentary from long time staff copy editors Crank Boy and Laurel.
From July 13, 2004:
"I can still remember the barbecue at Weird Momma's many years ago when Bug first slapped this Lush remix onto the boom box. He and I marveled together at its magnificence. This was pre-file sharing, and I was forced to actually (gasp) purchase the single - thus enabling me to pass on the lurve to you. Note this is not DJ Spooky, it's just Spooky, doing the remix."
Lush - Undertow (Spooky remix)
"This track appeared on the dearly departed (and recently revived) em:t label, on one of their gloriously weird and lovely ambient/downtempo compilations. The band, Voodoo Warriors of Love, to my eternal dismay only put out four songs. This is the best one, a fantastic, dark, haunting groove."
Voodoo Warriors of Love - Believe
LAUREL: This is some really overblown language for such a puny little blog post. "Eternal dismay" is something you feel when you realize you are burning in the fires of Hell, or are stuck in the front row at an Alanis Morisette concert.
CRANK BOY: Well, you oughta know. GET IT? HUH, HUH, DO YOU GET IT?
LAUREL: And do people really "marvel" at anything's "magnificence"?
CRANK BOY: I'm here to tell you - the ladies "marvel" at my "magnificence" all the time.
LAUREL: I am going to be sick.
CRANK BOY: That is also a common reaction.
