Art Brut

Sardonic, Mark E. Smith-esque romps which, as my dear British colleagues say, "take the piss" out of "Top of the Pops" and other beloved mainstream icons. Unfortunately, these tracks are demo versions of sorts — several versions removed from the album takes, wherein the guitars typically come out in full force. Also on the Art Brut site are some really interesting remixes/mashups/covers ("Brutlegs," as they call them), including a rap version of their uncharacteristically tender love song, "Emily Kane," and "My Sharona Formed a Band," which is fairly self-explanatory.
