Subtle’s woe be gone

There's no way to be Subtle about this: "F.K.O." (mp3) stands for "Fuck Kelly Osbourne" (img). Now, since this is out of the way, let's focus on the latest offering from the Lex Records supergroup, Wishingbone. Although it's meant to tide us over until proper full-length For Hero, For Fool in the fall, it's much more than a stop-gap release, since it's mostly made up of remixes and alternate versions involving the likes of Mike Patton, Beck, Fog, Hrvatski or Ms. John Soda (plus three videos by mavericks SSSR). Most of all, it features contributions from keyboardist Dax Pierson. Dax was very badly injured in January 2005 when their tour van hit a patch of black ice and overturned on the highway. He's been paralysed ever since, making a slow but encouraging recovery. However, his medical bills are ginormous. That means you have at least two reasons to pick up this CD/DVD package once you've downloaded these tracks: a) because the music is good b) to help Dax pay for his healthcare.
