Download: Van She - "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" (Holy Ghost! Remix)
Not too long ago we prescribed you with Van She's cover of the Blue Oyster Cult classic, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper". But if that fever still persists then we highly recommend that it's about time for your second dosage, in the form of a Holy Ghost! remix of the very same track. As if the original wasn't enough, Holy Ghost! do what they do best and take team Van She's effort and make it their own.
Rumour of the day/week/month: James Murphy wouldn't let Holy Ghost! within an inch of the precious DFA cowbell, so he took a 'personal day and trekked to their studio in Paris to play it himself.

Jonathan Boulet Scores Feature Album and Single of the Week
His debut album has barely been out on shelves for a fortnight, but it still seems that 21-year-old Jonathan Boulet is on nothing short of a winning streak. After career highs most artists can only dream of (ie - the infamous Kanye shout out), Jono is well and truly on a roll: having scored the illustrious "Feature Album" slot all next week on Triple J.

Back To The Future with Severed Heads
When you meet Tom Ellard it's hard to ignore a resonating desire to forget about the past. His groundbreaking ideas as a musician came about from a contempt for rock 'n' roll and guitar oriented bands. It was a formula Tom had seen for years, one that felt tired and repetitive as the seventies drew to a close.
