And Not Just Because I Heart Erlend Øye
Whitest Boy Alive – Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix) (MP3)
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod… this is sooooooo good!
Rubicon co-making Frenchman Fred Falke remixes one of the best bits from the yet another can-this-man-do-no-wrong Erlend Øye project that is Whitest Boy Alive and IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS (I’m not sure that even putting it in capitals makes the point anywhere near as clearly as I’d like but check out the simply dreamy call-and-response between Erlend and his distorted vocoder counterpart; “there’s sadness written on every corner”).
I nearly passed on buying this earlier this week and I don’t think I could accurately put into words how truly glad I am that I didn’t (and that I’m now able to play it ad nauseam) and, I don’t know about you, but every once-in-a-while it’s nice to be reminded that “house” doesn’t have to be a dirty word.

Seriously though, the track is boss, and Whitest Boy Alive too. Erlend’s got the magic touch. Good call!

Here is that video I was going on about.
Prepare to die of extreme awesomeness overload.

Rather disappointingly whilst getting some links for this post I found a more complete list than the one on Discogs of things Mr Øye has worked on so I now have to start scouring the seven levels of hell (or eBay, Gemm, Discogs, CDandLP, but more on that in my next post) for more dodgy house music.
Damn my accursed obsession!
