Spooky Ruben

Wendy McDonald Live (TVT)
by Lex Marburger

It’s just a live CD (plus some other stuff) of Spooky Ruben. It’s pop. Whatever. But amongst that “other stuff” is something that really gets me, down deep. It seems that TVT somehow convinced DJ Spooky to remix “Wendy McDonald.” He turns it into a completely different song. What once was a catchy flavor-of-the-month single has been turned into a tranced-out, just-sit-back-and-get-high eight minute groove. To me, this ain’t a Spooky Ruben CD, it’s a DJ Spooky CD. Set that player on repeat, buddy!
