It's not every day you come across a tune that can bear
comparison with any of the above records, let alone all of
them at once, but maybe today's the day. Prepare yourself
for "Pick Me Up Uppercut," where sometime scryer, Astral
musician, occasional Liverpudlian and full time LA
resident, Pop Levi takes us up on to the pop high ground,
keeps us there for a classical three and half minutes and
then leaves us to reach across to the cd player and skip
back to the start all over again. Perhaps the most
throw-away, pure bubblegum moment on his critically
acclaimed album, "Return To Form Black Magick Party," its
exactly that quality which makes "Pick Me Up Uppercut" so
essential.
"Pick Me Up Uppercut" is, in effect, the tale of a boy who
wants a girl, the girl who will shag the boy until he runs
out of steam and then go and "find herself another man"
and, hence, the boy's desperate attempts to keep on going
until dawn and beyond. But Mr Levi turns this simple idea
into a lascivious, bumping boogie packed with synth guitar
squelches, frugging bass, booming drums and outrageous
vocal stylings. And, in its sheer outlandishness, its
refusal to conform, its attempt to pack as many hooks into
its short life as it can, "Pick Me UpS" becomes one of
those records that transcends itself and becomes something
close to great - a pop record, a stupid moment of pure fun
and impulsive compulsion that, we hope, you're going to
want to come back to again and again. Washing the car,
getting ready for an evening out, dancing on the tables at
two in the morning, having sex, cleaning the bathroom,
playing drinking games, nude lawnmowing - for these
activities and the rest of your life, you've just found
the perfect soundtrack.
