New Music: White Williams: "In the Club" (Live on "Fair Game") [MP3]

The room has been filling up with White Williams' Smoke more and more often around here, and some live recordings have come along lately to make the songs sound new again. Was it only Monday when the Cleveland dance-pop dude's Daytrotter session went up, including a previously unreleased instrumental track? "Williams' oh so exhaustively documented tour with energetic East Coast art-partiers Dan Deacon and Girl Talk is finally over," we wrote, but the man born Joe Williams and his band must still have live music energy left to burn. The album cover suggests using a hookah.

Blunted T. Rex boogie is still in the air on this rendition of Smoke's "In the Club", recorded live in the studio for PRI's show "Fair Game". Toward the end, Williams sings Marc Bolan-like catchy nonsense about dancing with his "spider love"-- "We'll spit the venom"-- as keyboards plink, guitar goes off on a glammy good-time solo, and glassy echoes cloud up the performance further. The full show is streaming over at "Fair Game", plus an interview with host Faith Salie.
