you don’t even know you’re being unkind

♫ White Town – Your Woman / 1997

Yowza, that is some brutal album art. I know the 90s weren’t exactly the height of graphic design but that hurts my eyes. At least my ears are happy because this jam was the business back then! A bit lo-fi/fuzzy, androgynous vocals, a sampled beat, and all recorded in the dude’s home studio! So how come White Town never blew up? Oh yeah, it was 1997. Oh well. Although I have never heard the rest of Women In Technology, “Your Woman” is still well worth my time. And I hear Wiley has sampled it for his latest jam. Does that mean that come 2010 the 90s will officially be far enough in the past that we are gonna hear more samples like that? I’m down.

Buy cheap

lol actually i don't live in Tunisia, i've just been here for few weeks visiting my parents, but i will definitely try to dig into Tunisian musical heritage to find sth interesting! meanwhile i still can share my musical taste, more Frenchie, somehow rare on your blog. Let's start with a French pop-rock band (a boy + a girl), Cocoon. They are really refreshing and relaxing: i especially recommand On My Way and Chuppee. Tell me what you think about it!
