SummersRadio™ Presents... Love Stinks! - A Valentine's Day Spectacular! White Stripes!

SummersRadio™ Love Stinks! - A SummersRadio™ Valentine's Day Spectacular! continues... White Stripes - 'Jolene' (Studio Version) Dolly Parton has certainly written some classic love songs - the heartfelt 'I Will Always Love You' and the innocent 'Love Is Like A Butterfly' come to mind - but they sound worlds away from the pleading insecurity that fuels her chart topping 1973 hit 'Jolene'. Sure, you can meet the right person - but what if they find someone else or someone else decides they want them too?? 

No doubt you've heard by now that the White Stripes have called it quits - as officially announced on their website on Feb. 2nd. This studio version of 'Jolene' was first released as a b-side to their 2000 single 'Hello Operator' - and a live version was later released as a single in 2004. Aside from being a great cover, what makes this version particularly interesting is the fact that Jack White is singing the lyrics - thus putting a bit of a gay twist on it, adding an entirely new dimension to the song... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Spiller!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor - 'Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)' Sophie Ellis-Bextor first gained fame in 1997 as the lead vocalist for the indie band theaudience, who subsequently broke up at the end of 1998. In 2000 her vocals and lyrics were added to the then-instrumental track by Italain dj Spiller called 'Groovejet' - which relies heavily on a sample from the sublime 1977 disco club classic called 'Love Is You' by Carol Williams. The song entered the U.K. charts at number one, and it also reached number one in several other countries - selling over 2 million copies - setting the stage for her solo career. The track also holds the distinction as being the first song ever played on an ipod! This is Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! 2 AM/ FM!

SummersRadio™ New Music! 2 AM/ FM - 'Desolate Cities' Some more new Chicago house for you - this one dipped in acid! 2 AM/ FM is a duo consisting of D'Marc Cantu and James T. Cotton. You may know James under one of his other alias's - Dabrye, SK-1 - or his real name Tadd Mullinix! Tadd's 2000 release 'Winking Makes A Face' was the first album released by the Ghostly International label. He's released three EP's with his former roommate D'Marc under the 2 AM/ FM guise - this is their monstrous new single 'Desolate Cities' - Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! The Avalanches!

SummersRadio™ Classic Video! The Avalanches - 'Frontier Psychiatrist' The Avalanches are from Australia and they released one brilliant album in 2000 called 'Since I Left You' - which contained nearly 3,500 vinyl samples! And then... not so much. Talk of a second album has been going on for more than half the decade. Latest updates suggest that there have (perhaps not surprisingly) been issues with sample clearances - but apparently the album is done and will hopefully see the light of day next year. No doubt it took quite a bit of work to edit this fine video together as well, but it fits perfectly. I love it when the bird and the monkey dance... Enjoy!
