P-Model + El-P + another P?

A couple of songs today.


P-Model
Art Mania
In A Model Room
Warner Music 1979

The first time I heard this song was at a karaoke joint, of all places. There were only three of us left, drunk and bored of my lame assed attempts at Outkast! and Slayer.

In the real world, I despise karaoke. Get a few drinks in me and you will not get the mike out of my hands.

Anyway, Kage puts in this song and it's like, "Who the fuck are these guys?" It turns out that P-Model were a late seventies/early eighties techno pop band out of Tokyo. This song is from 1992's CD re-release of their first LP, In A Model Room. Produced by someone from the Plastics.
They are apparently still around in some form or another.


El-P featuring Cage
Oxycontin Part 2
Definitive Jux Presents III CD (buy)
Definitive Jux 2004

I love the chimes on this song, sort of gives it a trippy edge? From the newest Def Jux compilation, El-P teaming up with newcomer Cage. Seems to be a story in progress...don't know if there is a Oxycontin Part 1. The rap sort of seems to end without much of a conclusion...maybe Part 3 is in the works?

じつは、三つ目のPはピクシーズの１０何年ぶりの新曲！日本ではまだダウンロードできない。今の所はアメリカとヨーロッパのiTunesのMusic Storeのみ。いつ日本にMusic Storeが登場するんですかね？とりあえず、キムが歌う新曲はここ。
