EBTG... WATN?
The shuffle decided it wanted to make be feel old today. Sometimes I hate the shuffle :P
Walking Wounded, the album which made Everything But The Girl, previously an acoustic/jazz-lite duo that not many people outside of a Starbucks really wanted much to do with, big fat stars in the electronica scene... came out 11 years ago, people. Over a friggin' decade! I'm going to sign up for AARP as soon as I finish typing this blog, I swear. But whattaya gonna do? It still holds up as one of the best albums of the '90s in my opinion, and if you disagree, I will fight you.
Probably has something to do with the fact that Tracey Thorn has one of the best voices ever. She's got a new one out, too, called Out Of The Woods and the first single made it's way into the interweb tubes a little while ago, followed by some pretty nice remixes. Here's a very groovy disco-fied version by Escort, a group from New York who have been putting out some great tracks in the last year...
As for Ben Watt, he's putting out the fourth volume of his Buzzin' Fly mix series next month, which promises to be quality. Watch this space ;)

And this, well... File Under: Awesome
