Scout Niblett in Montreal, October 2010 (more by Rachel Kowal)

Scout Niblett has released the new No More Nasty Scrubs 7" featuring a pair of reworked pop favorites. The A-side features a reworking of "Nasty" by Janet Jackson while the flip features TLC's "No Scrubs" with Emil Amos of Om/Holy Sons/Grails. Stream the latter below and look for a video of "Nasty" in the coming weeks.

In related news, back in August of 2010, Emil Amos said:

I've finally decided to prepare a re-release of My Only Warm Coals next, god knows when it will come out exactly...
