From America to Iceland, the world is going through something I like to call "the recession blues". So as a nice contrast, I'd like to introduce a phenomenally freaky band from Malmö, Sweden, coined "Quit your Day Job". One listen to Quit Your Day Job's intoxicating beats and fantastically erratic ghoulish screams will obliterate all your cash concerns and wealth woes. They sound a bit like Gogol Bordello, but it is as if Eugene Hütz has been injected with lightening and chained to a keyboard. My two favorite songs are "Bodypoppers" and "Vlado Video. Bodypoppers is all about oiling up popcorn (or maybe yourself) and putting the whole mess into the microwave and watching it pop pop POP!!! "Vlado Video" has a lovely quick beat and ghoulish falsetto voices throughout. "Sweden we got a problem", "Sperms are germs", and "Freaks are out" are also spine tinglingly two-steppingly terrific. They could literally burn a house down, but you'd get the insurance money. Listen, gobble, oogle, and enjoy!
