Popcast #539 • Now with 100% more video
categories: cinéma marnie, popcast

POPCAST #539 TREATS THE FOLLOWING: Bad luck, bad weather, fender-benders, missing paychecks, taxes and sprained ankles. 

RECOMMENDED USE: 2010 was supposed to be better than 2009. Sure, in many ways it is. Though every now and then a doozy of a week creeps its way in, disrupting all of our 'fresh new starts'. Maybe its the post-recession, maybe its a bad moon, maybe Scorpio's rising a little too much, maybe the dark cloud just isn't going anywhere for a little bit more. Whatever it is, while our luck is down let's listen to songs that make us feel good about feeling bad. (Note: songs 13 and 14 are specially formulated to get you out of any possible popcast-related funk and back into fighting shape.)

ADDITIONAL NOTES: You're probably thinking: "Whoa, a P&C video! What marvelousness!" Isn't it though? Super thanks to the star of the show, Lil Bruder Alex Z! He helped pick a buncha songs this week too! There's a pretty good chance there'll be more cinema shennanigans to come, so stay tuned P&C Popsters! 

 

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
1. Hard Times: Run DMC
2. The Message: Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5
3. Life is Shit: The Dead Milkmen
4. Novocaine for the Soul: Eels
5. It Ain't Easy: David Bowie
6. My Neighbor the Firefighter: uh..(?)
7. Why Took Your Advice: Grandaddy
8. All You Need Is Hate: The Delgados
9. Help: Deep Purple
10. It's All Over Now Baby Blue: Them
11. What's Happening Brother: Marvin Gaye
12. Think About It: Flight of the Conchords
13. A Town Called Malice: The Jam
14. I'm Not Down: The Clash

New Popcast coming Monday! It'll blow yer socks off. But in the meantime, try to keep your socks on while you watch my new favorite thing this week: The Clientele covering M.I.A.'s Paper Planes. Makes me wanna stick it to the man… while sipping on Pimm's Cup, wearing a ruffled shirt and velvet pants, of course. Pip pip, ol' bean.

Check out the Onion's AV Club for more fun covers in their Undercover project.
