Jack's Track of the Day v2

[Jack of Arcades]

Sep 6 2006: Basement Jaxx - Take Me Back to Your House

The new single off of the new album Crazy Itch Radio, "Take Me Back to Your House" exemplifies a shift world music. It certainly helps that the song uses heavy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balalaika]balalaika[/url, a russian instrument that looks a bit like a retarded banjo. (The Pitchfork-annointed standout track "Hey You," sounds like it could fit right into the Lion King soundtrack.)

The real reason to check this out is the video - taking place in Russia (where else?) the video mocks the standard dance video with hilarious results.
