Happy Friday: One Track Lover

Happy Friday again! This week is a song from Garth Marenghi's 'Darkplace,' a British comedy series let in the 80's. For those who don't know, Garth Marenghi is a master horror writer and has written more books than he has read. If that doesn't make him good, I don't know what does. This song 'One Track Lover' would have totally been a hit in the 80's.

Fresh Biscuit: The Shivers

Hmmm, looks like there are only going to be nice posts today. I'm not sure what is going on. Could be that sweet early summer breeze bringing on my carefree, snarkless attitude. Anyway, I was taken by this song by a band called The Shivers. 'Just Didn't Need to Know' has a breezy feeling to it, though there is a bit of emotion. Check this band out, they look like regular people!

'Just Didn't Need to Know'

Fresh Biscuit: Dan Auerbach

Fresh in the wah wah wah wah wah guitar category, Dan Auerbach. Most will remember him as the guitar/voice of The Black Keys. Well, he decided to record a solo album in a style nearly identical to his full time band. Whatever. This song is so simple, yet so catchy and listenable, Fresh Biscuit, baby. Videos a little weak, but no complaints.

This Just In...

More on the recent YYY's Karen O actually being Marilyn Manson (Karilyn O Manson) scandal. It turns out both Karen and Marilyn, seen here:

may actually be the infamous 'Batboy' (below), formerly found on fake tabloids at your local grocer who later had a crappy off-broadway play made about him. More on this story as it unfolds.

Stale Biscuit: Dead Science

So I found this band a while ago doing while doing some Myspace hopping, Dead Science. I'm trying to figure out if anybody likes this. They specialize in a type of goth rock which I've heard described as vaudevillian. His voice does this quivering like he has some breathing problem over high pitched crawling guitar. I'm kind of addicted to it. Let me know. Like it? Hate it?

'Throne of Blood'

'Make Mine Marvel'

Fresh Biscuit: Patrick Wolf

We are all abuzz here at eatdogeat central for the new Patrick Wolf. We only hope that the buzz isn't our last lingering threads of heterosexuality (see video below). All homophobic tendencies aside, Patrick is releasing his new album 'The Bachelor' soon, and so far it looks really promising. Second video from that album, 'Hard Times,' has a great strings riff. We also like to hear Patrick singing the word harder repeatedly.

The first video he released is pretty much soft-core porn.

Fresh Biscuit: Jay Reatard

Hey Hey its new Jay Meantally Heanicapped for ya (I read that aloud and sounded like a Russian Guy). Turns out he's recording a new album, and lead single is called 'It Ain't Gonna Save Me.' Its a turn towards the more pop styled ditties he had on his singles collections. Heres to hoping he puts out a few more songs like the ones on 2006's 'Blood Visions' (check out the video below).

'It Ain't Gonna Save Me'

This is the exact moment I fell for Jay:

I Don't Hate This?!?!: Scarlett Johansson

Thanks Scarlett Johansson, for allowing me to post the raciest picture yet here at eatdogeat. Why is this posted, you ask? Why its because Scarlett is producing even more music! Well, she produced it with Pete Yorn in 2006. I was really impressed by her album last year of Tom Waits covers. I mean come on, Tom Waits covers produced by David Sitek of TV on the Radio? You can't miss. Anyway, here is a link to her new posted song from the upcoming album, 'Break Up.' 

And just because I didn't hate her last album so much, here is a video from it:

Fresh Biscuit: Yeah Yeah Yeahs

You heard it here first: Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs is actually Marilyn Manson...in slightly less makeup. Weren't we all shocked when he wore breasts for that one album? It turns out he/she was just wrapping the breasts Hillary Swank style all of the time he didn't have them. So, anyway, my only evidence for this theory is how they look uncannily alike. Consider exhibit A:

Eerily similar, right? But they could just be making the same creepy face while being born with the ability to open their mouths super wide. Lets then get a good side-by-side face comparison. Exhibit B:

So Marilyn's jawbone looks thinner, right? That isn't something a little aging/weight gain can't fix. Seriously.

Also, there is a new YYY's video out for 'Heads Will Roll.' Enjoy!

'Heads Will Roll'

Fresh Croissant: Charly Greene

So this isn't really a Fresh Biscuit, I thought it was hilarious. I'm pretty sure this Charly Greene is France's answer to Asher Roth. Dear France: we aren't that proud of him. We are proud of our Gossip Girl though.

UPDATE: I am completely addicted to this song.
