I was delightfully surprised to hear Spank Rock was playing Bushwick's Bodega yesterday along with Brooklyn's Japanther and Ninjasonik, especially since it's so closeby my apartment.It was the typical crowd of sweaty, shirtless guys, girls with messy hair and a cloud of smoke floating right above.

The tune actually reminds me a bit of the sound Bjork was going for with the 2007 record, Volta. Out of respect to the artist, I've posted a streaming ...
