After This Island I kept my distance. Not a tough thing to do actually, especially when even Le Tigre's biggest uppers-- one of whom called me the "harlequin baby of Pitchfork reviewers, and retarded"-- eventually conceded the record was total fucking garbage. Annie still had the heart to beat through the remixes though, which is how I heard this one (first released late '04, apparently, then again in the UK this summer) and why I'm mere syllables from crediting Junior Senior with a minor miracle. The song's diamond, that moody bronx bassline, desperately needed new shelter, so thankfully Junior Senior's frill-less chicken-scratch disco-punk has quite the soft spot for the bum-bum-bum. But let's cut the shit: Do you think, as I do, that Ms. Bergen only likes "Nanny" because it rhymes with "Annie"?
