I like how the Australian genius kids are sticking out for each other, most recently when Ted & Francis remixed Empire Of The Sun making the Australian goodness even more Australiener!

Again Ted & Francis were there for another fellow OZ music makers, this time Ted (Rhys) lent his cuddly boyfriend material vocals to Bag Raiders for the B-side 'Shooting Stars' off their latest EP 'Turbo Love'.

The track itself sounds like a ride on a shooting star into space, extravagantly overwhelming, star dusted & therapeutically euphoric - I can't explain what the bass sounds like on this gem, but i guess if it was eatable then it would be hot fudge.

I've already at many occasions in the past have declared that the vocal version of Shooting Star is one of the best 20 tracks of 2008 simply because it's cosmically epic before anything else.

I've held back posting this for a while, respecting Bag Raiders wishes & last night they personally gave me the green light to put it out here for you all to devour & enjoy in all of its vocal & synth glory!

Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars (ft. Rhys of 'Ted & Francis')

I have so much love & respect for that continent, if it didn't exist i would've ended up blogging about rancid shit like Eminem, Lil Wayne & 50 cent.... well no not really, but my aesthetic radar strength wouldn't be as close as it is today.

Order it now from Juno & TraxSource!

You know, "Shooting Stars" in its non-vocal version is my 2nd favourite song (TBC) of 2008 thus far.

I REALLY love this version though, and had I heard it first, maybe it would have been as special to me as the original version that surfaced has. But I do, only slightly, prefer the instrumental.

I seem to like the instrumental over vocals for this. Dunno why, just how I was introduced to it I guess.
