i can't stop loving the fingerbangerz album vi-r-us, imagine david choe's paintings in audio, they've got that cursiv and dirty pop, robust, they braid breakbeats into your hair and let them grow jagged enough to juke the sky in two, this cd's got so much depth, don't be surprised to see crustaceans bumping it somewhere at the bottom of the ocean...

a dream "super group" band: san jose's dj sextet the fingerbangerz as backbone, kim deal will bring it with her basslines (from pixies to breeders, has she ever put out a bad album?), jonny greenwood (radiohead's mischief man) on guitar, xylophone, keyboard, or whatever he feels like playing this week, the mars volta's omar rodriguez lopez can get as wacky as he wants on the six strings, and, at the heart of this mess, the yeah yeah yeah's karen o and rilo kiley's jenny lewis will shriek and sing us beyond song and gregorian chant, chris cunningham and christopher doyle will collaborate on all their music videos, and, as an encore, what could top GLORIA ANZALDUA off the page with ELVIN JONES on the drums...
