A little Friday afternoon bike music

I noticed a couple of bike-related tracks in the music blogosphere this week.

First, among the 763 South by Southwest sampler tracks was Be Your Own Pet’s Bicycle Bicycle You Are My Bicycle (Video - “Their bloodlust knew no equal!”). Stereogum made it a featured download on Wednesday. My take: Imagine Lisa Loeb singing lead for White Stripes. The refrain (“We’re on two wheels baby…”) rocks. Paul Ford at The Morning News reviewed all 763 tracks in 6 words: His take on BBYAMB: “Punky ladies sing goofy bicycle ditty.”

Speaking of ditties, former band on the roll the Ditty Bops, were Thursday’s Top Tune at Santa Monica’s KCRW with the title song from their album Summer Rains (Video). This one feels like it came straight off a 78-rpm wax cylinder — very laidback.
