I can't stop playing "Umo" by OOIOO. El Jeffie Wong thinks it reminiscent of the Slits. I'm not sure I hear that, but then I was never a fan. Until I saw their album cover, I thought they were named after a cheap beer.

Hat tip to the always fascinating Cartoon Brew.

When I first listened to this, I accidentally also had my Pandora Radio on as well led to this combining with Musiq Soulchild making some very strange music that I didn't quite understand mixed very odd imagery. What is this polyrhythmic Japanese groovy soul?? But then I realized that it couldn't be right. Time to send this song to everyone I know, because it kicks ass.
