This week’s special guest is AKA Joe Williams, the guy that Domino records is all excited about after the overnight smash hitness of his first single “New Violence” (which TV Carnage just did a video for bee tee dubs). The show went well except for the part where Gay Beach lived up to his name by interrupting everyone to awkwardly ask “Do you consider yourself a sex symbol?” Um, wha? He followed it up with, “All these hot girls have your picture as their mySpace” which makes us wonder how long it will be before “To Catch a Predator” catches him trolling the web for poon tang.
Anyhosers, here it is..

(MGMT on a horse)

MGMT “Electric Feel”
Bauhaus “Telegram Sam”
El Guincho “Palmitas Park”
The girl in that last track is nine-years-old.

White Williams “Blue Steel”
White Williams “Fleetwood Crack”
White Williams “Smoke”
None of these White Williams songs will ever see the light of day. “Blue Steel” never made it on to the record because the label thought it would remind people too much of Robocop, Jamie Lee Curtis and Zoolander. Fleetwood Mac wouldn’t let them use the sample in a song that mentioned crack even though we all know Stevie’s history with the powder version of that drug. And “Smoke” didn’t go anywhere because it’s boring.

Animal Collective “Water Curses”
Girls “Lust for Life”
C.R.A.S.S. “Our Wedding”
Yes that last song was Crass. You didn’t hear about this? They changed their name to Creative Recordings and Sound Services and got this sarcastic love song on to the top of the pop charts.

Buraka Som Sistema “Sound of Kuduro”
The Bug “Poison Dart feat Warrior Queen”
Wiley “Wearing my Rolex”
By the way, if you think that Wiley song is too bridge-and-tunnel gaylord, you should be happy we cut out Enur’s “Calabria 2007,” that corny Macarena of a dancehall jam you’ve heard in every bodega in the country. Sorry but Natasja was the best Jamaican singer ever to not come from Jamaica since Snow.
After this set we get to hear the one thing Joe Williams can play: The three chords from “New Violence.” You have never heard an acoustic set this uneventful in your life.

And finally, Joe’s favorite song…

Ramones “I Don’t Wanna go Down to the Basement”
