Fucked Up And Moby Cover The Ramones
There's bound to be more clips surfacing from Fucked Up's free 12-hour show at the Rogan Store (330 Bowery, NYC) yesterday (10/14), but seems like video of the Toronto-based bathroom re-designers doing a cover of "Blitzkrieg Bop" with Moby on guest guitar/vocals is as good a place as any to start. (Other guests included J. Mascis, Vivian Girls, Ezra Koenig, etc. Akon didn't show, ha ha.) Last night a friend and I were talking about how it's pretty fascinating to see Matador putting so much into The Chemistry Of Common Life. I'm a longtime Fucked Up fan and dig the new record (though have to say I think Hidden World's better at this point), but who'd of thought the label would be pushing hardcore -- even in this updated form -- so hard(core). Anyhow, Moby looks like he's having fun.
While we're here, take another listen to "No Epiphany" and "Twice Born." We'll upload any other highlights (Ezra) as we come across them.
The Chemistry Of Common Life is out via Matador.

How many people does it take to play a Ramones song?
(And no, that's not supposed to be the set-up for a joke, but if someone has a brilliant punchline, go for it.)
Score = 1
Depends on the liberal media.

i thought punk died a horrible death years ago. people still care about this crap?

Moby is such a pretentious douche.

God, you're so trendy. I wish I was you.
Score = 1
this band is not hardcore. their new album is not "challenging" and definitely not "revolutionary". it's boring. and i guess no one would ever expect a record label with a history of classic indie rock albums and new signees like jay reatard and tnv to "branch out"?
Score = 0
i disagree, stereogum. the new album is way better than hidden world. and hey by the way, to all you grouchy fucked up/punk-haters: grow up.
Score = 0
These old punk tunes are like awesome gospels.
