MADVILLAINY 2: THE MADLIB REMIX
The demand for a new Madvillain album has clearly reached a fever-pitch as Stones Throw Records is releasing a remix album of the original Madvillainy entitled Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix by none other than the original producer Madlib. While the sick rhymes from MF Doom might be the same, the new production from Madlib makes this album more than worth listening to, as his inspired new flavoring of all your favorite MV tracks (supposedly crafted while on a ten-hour plane ride to Tokyo) reignite the passion that came with the first spin of the original’s rapid-fire raps. Check out a few tracks below and order this album from Stones Throw (specifically the completely awesome sounding deluxe package complete with comic book) immediately.
Madvillain – “No Brain”
Madvillain – “Pearls”

NEW BAND CHEER: FIGHT BITE
After hearing about these guys from both Gorilla vs. Bear and Stereogum, and noticing that they live just up the road in Denton, Texas, we here at Cannibal Cheerleader decided to check out Fight Bite, and we’re definitely glad we did. Like stumbling upon the latest shoegazey-wunderkind before they’ve reached their full potential, the duo of Leanne Macomber and Jeff Louis produce such star-filled, dreamy, escapist pop masterworks to suggest they’ve been around for decades rather than just for a few months. Check out “Swissex Lover” below, the anthem to every teenage late-night firework fight captured in slow motion on super-8 film ever. They don’t have any shows planned for south of the DFW area right now, but hopefully they’ll take the roadtrip down to Austin and delight us with their syrupy goodness before too long!
Fight Bite – “Swissex Lover”
Fight Bite – “The Accident”
Also, be on the lookout for their debut LP Emerald Eyes (that’s the cover up above) which they’ll be releasing tonight at a special show in Denton. If anyone obtains a copy shoot it our way, we’d love to get a copy!
