For those who think 16 hours is too long to wait for the digital release of the Knife's Karen Dreijer Andersson's solo effort as Fever Ray, noise-mongerers Fuck Buttons have something to tide you over. Fever Ray's lead single "If I Had a Heart" gets an overhaul from FB (the same young men responsible for Pitchfork's 20th favorite album of 2008) here in resplendent Street Horrrsing fashion: Andersson's ethereal vocal is deconstructed into a methodic chant, adrift in a sea (or perhaps afloat down the river Styx) of whirling synths, rigid thumps, and processed fuzz. The remix is undoubtedly more of a Fuck Buttons affair, almost as if Andersson were asked to take a very liberal stab at "Bright Tomorrow". If it weren't for the unmistakable aesthetic already attached to "Heart", it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to suggest that we may very well be getting into "cover" territory here. But for as much as the track leans on Fuck Buttons' own signatures, the pair have good enough sense to allow the atmosphere and dread of the original to remain intact, which is pretty much all you really need here for a solid remix.[from the "If I Had a Heart" 7"; due 02/09/09 on Mute; Fever Ray is due digitally on 01/13/09 and physically on 03/24/09 in the U.S. (via Mute), 03/23/09 in Australia/New Zealand (via etcetc), and 03/18/09 in Scandinavia (via Rabid) and the UK/rest of Europe (via Cooperative Music)]

Yesterday, as you are almost certainly aware, certain parts of the contiguous United got to experience a total solar eclipse. (I was working on a column, and I forgot to look out the damn window.) Naturally, the eclipse led to a revival of interest in Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 anthem “Total Eclipse Of The Heart,” arguably...

Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain died 30 years ago today. To mark the occasion, his daughter Frances Bean Cobain posted a heartfelt meditation on grief and the father she never really got to know. It’s a lovely message, accompanied from photos of Cobain with Frances Bean and from his own childhood. I encourage you to read it below.
