Donna Juana Ø - Pussy Cats, Lost Weekends
WHFR took the weekend off for toikey. So I’ll take a holiday too — not only from my radio show, but also from this not being an indy-rock or album-blog…
I’ve always liked The Walkmen. We share a love of Christmas, a taste for the John Szarkowski canon of photographers, and maybe more basically, a similar ‘tude.*
Like, redoing an entire Harry Nillson album song for song — Pussy Cats in particular (mostly covers, recorded with friends over one drunken weekend) — is a real Ball Deep kinda move. So in lucy liu of my show, here’s…
Pussy Cats starring the Walkmen and Harry Nilsson’s Pussy Cats (ZIP file) Oh, and no effing “Bonus Tracks”. 37 minutes is the perfect album length!
Yeah, you knew Momma Donna wouldn’t leave you hungry.
Thanksgiving,
DJ Hot Donna
P.S. I probably won’t leave the album up long, so grab it while you can.
* Our ‘tudes were more aligned when I thought the song They’re Winning was We’re Winning. “Weeeeee’re winnniiiiING. I know it’s not faiir, but what is?” just seems more honest. But whatever — I’m sure it’s a typo.
