Waking Up Down
POP ETC
The Morning Benders have changed their name to POP ETC.
After 5 years as the Morning Benders the band discovered on their first tour of the UK that “bender” is English slang for “homosexual”.
Not wanting to insult the gay community or continually distract from their music (basically “The Morning Fags” in Europe) the band has opted for a new name.
The now POP ETC has an entire mixtape of new songs on their website. Free download
“Everything is Gone” is from the mixtape.
M.I.A.
M.I.A., one our favorite artist/provocateurs, has just released “Bad Girls”.
The song is a new version that first appeared on her Vicki Leekx mixtape that she made available on New Year’s Eve, 2010. Vicki Leekx is a combination of alternative versions of songs from her album Maya as well as new material purportedly inspired by the controversy over Wikileaks.
Vicki Leekx remains as a free download.
