Latest BPA release: Seattle ft.Emmy the Great

I want to love this track, but I don't. I have always been a huge fan of Norman Cook's work and love some of the stuff that Emmy the Great has done, but this track just doesn't do it for me. Maybe I should say 'yet'. Maybe it will grow on me.

Of course, with the US election going on right now (no results in yet whilst I am writing this), the song is well-timed. And if Obama wins and the world feels optimistic again about the future of America, it will be even more fitting. We will have to wait and see.

Personally, I am looking forward to the general release of the track 'He's Frank' from BPA, featuring Iggy Pop. Now that's a good tune. I wonder if it will ever be released as a single.

The BPA, Toe Jam. Featuring David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal

Great track from Norman Cook yet again on Southern Fried Records, under the name BPA or Brighton Port Authority. And how wonderful it is to hear a good David Byrne vocal on a track like this, the man's a legend! As a matter of fact...so is Norman Cook. Big up!

Oh, and I just checked with Norman and the backing vocals on Toe Jam are ones that he recorded here in Belize with us with the Garifuna women. I thought I recognized it. That just shows again how great Norman is at grabbing odds and sods from everywhere and turning them into something amazing.

BTW...the track he did with Iggy Pop is also fantastic. Top bloody producer!
