No surprise, The Go! Team turn this pulsating Kim Gordon song (from SY's Experimental Jet Set No Star) into an indie dance raver. What's great about The Go! Team is their relentless lo-fi wall-of-sound; between the huge hip-hop drums and cherry red guitars, you can barely hear those creepy lyrics ("Tell me / That you / Wanna / Whore me"), so you don't know whether to boogie or recoil in fear. Nope, Ninja don't got half the star power of Gordon, but she gets the job done. A solid effort, as is everything I hear from this group; download the song for free off their website site.

He he, yeah, I can see a fan of the original not sitting well with the bubblegum-ification of the song. Still, I thought it was cool that they made it sound like a Go! Team track. |
Errr, I don't know. I'm not impressed. Why mess with a song that's that damn good in the first place? There's no way you're going to do it justice.
