Your song today is "Cocainium" from Baroness' 2012 Yellow disc, specifically because when that beat kicks in at about 1:40, it's pure disco. And yet it's still cool, which must be some kind of paradox or oxymoron or something similar. Whichever way you slice it "Cocainium" is a perfect example of a way in which a) disco isn't dead and b) disco doesn't suck. It's also a perfect example of the kind of quirky, catchy ditty that Baroness crafts to sneak into your brain. Check it lest you be branded a jive turkey.
