??!! Brooklyn "Band" Re-Imagines "Grunge" Into "R&B Slow-Jams"
Posted by Kelly O on Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 2:21 PM
From the FOOL'S GOLD press release:
Telephoned go grunge with Singles, their new free EP inspired by the Cameron Crowe film (and iconic soundtrack) of the same name. Download the whole thing and check Sammy and Maggie as they flip Smashing Pumpkins, Alice In Chains, Screaming Trees and Jimi Hendrix (hey, it’s Seattle!) over repurposed Ryan Hemsworth beats, turning these four rockers into moody, bittersweet r&b slow jams in the process.
Click the record cover to listen... Is it as freaking awful as I think it is?
IN OTHER NEWS: A real-deal Sub Pop employee, Megan Jasper, gives an audio tour of Sub Pop Records to KUOW today. Listen and learn.

I seem to remember a former Stranger staffer doing something similar about 20 years ago. So does Kurt Loder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhuUWBCEx…

These are not moody nor are they slow jams...sounds more like drunk karaoke attempts as the CD skips.
