Nothin’ to gain except killin’ your brain…
I like to have some music on in the background, and I found Chillout Lounge on 1.fm (beware the pop-ups) via WinAmp’s Media Library (it’s under “SHOUTcast Radio”). It’s an interesting variety of mixes, most of which are fairly good for background noise. However, every now and then they’ll pull out something that just stops me in my tracks and leaves me scratching my head and muttering, “WTF?”
Today, it was a remake of “White Lines,” which was originally done by Grandmaster Flash. This one was a strange jazz version from a group called Barefoot (click through to the Flash page, hit the ‘?’ in the upper right corner, then you can listen to some of their music, including White Lines).
There’s just something very odd about an English woman reciting Grandmaster Flash…
