CSS Covers L7

'90s alt rock through the prism of Brazilian electroclash mayhem may sounds promising enough, and it's a surprisingly tidy fit for Lovefoxxx and the Cansei De Ser Sexy kids, who did a session at the BBC and offered up a reverent cover of "Pretend We're Dead." Gorilla's got the goods, including an original from the party starters: another "artist"-referencing tune ala(la) "Meeting Paris Hilton," "I Wanna Be Your J. Lo." You know what to expect -- CSS wants you sweaty on the dancefloor. Who's got the Cachaca? Thanks for the proposition, Lovefoxxx, but we'd sooner take up Sleater-Kinney's Ramone request. At least Joey would never do American Idol.

I hate to be 'that guy' but 'I Wanna Be Your J-Lo' isn't new. That's been floating around since some of the first tracks.

it deffinately has been around for a fucking long time but, not to be that person as well, it's like the only song they didn't fuck it up after getting famous.
