These two ‘Timb’s are best when they’re chilling together in the studio, pushing one another to do something interesting, and thankfully Justin took some time out from snuggling Jessica Biel to give his pal a hook up. Expect three minutes of syrupy smooth choruses, cowbells galore and some weird food-based sexual fetishes. So basically it’s pretty awesome.
Hystereo - Cityspeak (Bang Gang 12 Inches):
Well, damn. This is just an out and out stomper. Having teamed up with local heroes the Bang Gang for a new EP, Hystereo drop six minutes of blissful banging electro that’s more down-tuned Casio chords and pummelling beats than you’ll ever need. You should probably OD on this today.
Ignore the terrible name – yeah, it is terrible – and focus on the tuneage here. Penguin Prison comes off like JT’s indie loving cousin, obsessed with bedroom-built synth pop and grooving guitar lines. And just as you’d hope, his knack for a hook is incredible. This is fire.
Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be/Rocking That Body (UMA) :
Wedged together as two singles for total Video Hits domination, the latest move by the Black Eyed Peas to sodomise their original fans is one of their greatest. Will.I.Am goes bonkers on the pitch shifted vocals (dude, we get it already), Fergzilla tramples the small township of Taste-ville, and oh, wait, there are two other members in the band? No kidding. Inescapable, but you know, so was the plague and right now I don’t see a difference.
