I AM DAMO SUZUKI
Some more awesomeness for you today...
You may have heard of a recent album of re-edits by Glasgow glamour queen 'Betty Botox'. It's been causing a bit of a stir.
What was a big secret, but now seems only to be a small secret, is that Betty Botox is an alias of JD Twitch. Who's JD Twitch? Well does the word 'Optimo' mean anything to you? If not take 5 paces back and click.
Well the album was preceded a few months back by a superb 12", which I happened to recently pick up in my aladdin's cave of a second-hand shop. And one of its 4 tracks has been locked onto my turntable and fixed in my brain ever since.
Since Betty Botox specialises in re-edits, and the EP is called 'Kraut', you can probably make an educated guess at the source of this fantastic track, 'Can Can'.
Yes, it's Faust of course.
Nah, not really. It's Can.
Although endlessly being namedropped as one of the most influential bands of all time, I must admit they're a band i'm not particularly familiar with. However a quick google of the lyrics revealed that this track 'Can Can' is a remake of a song called 'Hoolah Hoolah', from their 1989 album 'Rite Time'.
I've not heard the album, or the original of this track, but this is so fucken excellent it's untrue. This will never ever leave my record bag.
BETTY BOTOX - CAN CAN
Although you won't find 'Can Can' on it, Boomkat have just got another consignment of the album in. You can also pick up an mp3 from the album at Big Stereo.. a re-edit of 'Is It Love You're After' by Rose Royce... the song that will forever and always make you think 'S-Express'.
