Xiu Xiu - "Fabulous Muscles". No, this isn't the version from the new album by the same name. This is the cut from the earlier-released InSound Tour Support EP split with the Jim Yoshii Pile-Up. Unlike the sparse take on the full album, the one heard here is less breathy, more impassioned, more raw, and more violent. Jamie flubs a couple of the high pitches, but there's no telling if it's intentional or merely the result of his committing to a laryngeal strangulation for the sake of intensity. Still, with a little bit of found-object percussion and some vocal doubling from a female bandmate, I certainly prefer this version.

Oh, and in case you've never heard the song at all…

Break my face in
Was the kindest touch
You ever gave.
Wrap my dreams around
Your thighs, and
Drag my hope upon
The chance to touch your arm.

Fabulous muscles,
Cremate me after you cum on my lips!
Honey boy,
Place my ashes in a vase
Beneath your workout bench.

No romance—
No sexiness—but
The star-filled night.
Kneeling down before
The now-familiar flesh
Of your deformed penis.
Wigging out before
The unfamiliar flesh
Of my broken neck.
