Phagz on 45

You know the deal: John C. Hughes and the world’s foremost Belinda Carlisle impersonator, a.k.a. his buddy Matty (or “Bearlinda,” if you prefer), knock back some booze and review some singles, homo style. This week your rainbeaux duo take a listen to songs by Ladytron, Sparks (again?!), the Jesus and Mary Chain, and Tommy Keene while discussing dog farts and letting “the cute count” get out of control. Plus, stay tuned to the end to see their very first SPECIAL SURPRISE GUEST (it’s someone on the review list — no lie!). Enjoy, and as always, MP3s of the songs are below so you can follow along at home.

Ladytron — “Burning Up” (download)

Sparks — “Good Morning” (download)

The Jesus and Mary Chain — “Darklands” (download)

Tommy Keene — “Places That Are Gone” (download)
