The Download
Matt Mahaffey is probably best-known as the guy behind the Expedia.com jingle, which is a shame. His indie-pop outfit, Self, is just as catchy. It’s been seven years since Self put out a legitimate release (DreamWorks refused to release Self’s 2004 LP, Ornament and Crime), but Mahaffey promises via MySpace that a new set of songs is in the works. In the meantime, hit up the band’s fan site for a massive collection of rarities and online exclusives, including a satirical ode to the movie Titanic (to the tune of the Pixies’ “Gigantic”) and a cover of Liz Phair’s “Stratford on Guy.” Only at Selfies … dot-caaaaahm.
