Yes, finally some proper music produced after 1992! Crazy, I know, I never thought I’d say this.

Thanks to the advents of waffles.fm and The Pirate Bay I can get new music without spending a dime in instants and not feel too guilty. And so I snatched an mp3 LAME V0 (note: “LAME” doesn’t mean “lame”) copy of “Whip It On“.

The distortion somehow sounds very similar to The Jesus & Mary Chain though and not quite as “hard”. If there was an “awesome” dial, I think they turned it down a bit (from the makers of the “I-win” button). That isn’t to say it’s bad, just different. It’s kinda like they listened to Psychocandy and said, “o hai, i upgraded ur records”. I think The Raveonettes are actually felines. Yes, I’m a fucking lolcat addict, shoot me!

The rip is good quality and I suggest you all snatch a copy from waffles.fm. (Uhm… nothing to do with my ratio, no, no, not at all, what makes you think I just want to boost my ratio?) Overall, I like this record. It also seems to work as a record and not just as songs, which is rare these days (nobody buys records anyway). Very solid.

Edit: “Jesus” here (where’s Mary?) would like to make a point that he’s the one who introduced me to The Raveonettes. Unfortunately he’s a noob, so he doesn’t have a blog I can link to.
