Amanda Blank has been a guilty pleasure of mine for a hot minute now. Her debut album, I Love You hit stores the other week; I picked it up last night to make sure I know some songs before I go to her in store performance at Amoeba Records in Los Angeles later tonight (7pm 6pm). The album is decent overall, but this track, I liked a lot.
“DJ” is has this sick throwback beat that hardly belongs in the club, though I smell a handful of great remixes in the near future. This song features a side of Amanda Blank that doesn’t come out often. Even her mushier songs, like “A Love Song” lose whatever charm they managed to grab onto after a couple of listens — but “DJ” sounds like a keeper. Listen to it here

She grabs you by your hair and forces you to suck her dick. This album is short and sweet. Ms. Blank will be relevant for years to come.
i doubt it
“She grabs you by your hair and forces you to suck her dick.”
Uhhh, interesting way to describe an artist.
So according to you, she’s a sadistic transsexual who has musical longevity? (i’m just kidding)
LMAO!
dope album. she features santigold and lykke li on some tracks, two of my favorite female artists right now. She’s gritty- badass you know? Sounds like kid sister a little bit.
I was hoping for something new, but this track (well, a demo, at least) has been floating around for well over a year.
DJ has been floating around in various forms for a couple of years now. I’m pretty sure I heard it back in 2007. this version is slightly updated, but basically the same. RCRD LBL is also offering ‘make it take it’ as a free download: http://rcrdlbl.com/2009/07/09/exclusive_new_download_amanda_blank_make_it_take_it
I want to fill in her Blank
this song was originally on her myspace in a different version & it was titled “for the unloved”…
