Fagget Fairys & The Angry Them



So this is my first music post. I'm mostly trying out the format, so I figured I'll post something new and something old.

I'll start with the new. I just can't get enough of Fagget Fairys' Dainish ghetto-funk baile raps (it'll make sense when you hear it) over their big grimey beats. They have a 12" soon to be released in the US by Palms Out Sounds. I was able post the original along with remixes by Boody B and 3 is a Crowd for your enjoyment, but I'm a bit partial to the original.

After some thought about what the classic song to post, I figured I'll post something that you might have heard. Van Morrison has always been one of those musicians I've always wanted to learn more about, but never made the effort to. Boy, that was a mistake. His first band, The Them made some brilliant garage rock. The song I am posting is a classic by The Them covered throughout musical history by many bands including The Doors and Patti Smith.

The Them - Gloria
