This cold weather and early evenings have gotten the best of me and I fear that cabin fever setting in way too soon. Here's a technicolor mix for these grayscale days. Sorry for the sloppy mixing.
I really love that CMG does counterpoint articles, especially when it's about an artist I really love like Destroyer or Spoon. Alan and Calum make some good points here, but I still think Spoon have their heads up their asses. But for sure, I'm glad the album is something different (even though that difference highlights what is still unfortunately very much the same). And also, I don't know Britt (I did meet him once after a show, he was a perfect gentleman) so I'll back off a bit with the personal for now. Also, sorry for the John Mayer rant, it won't happen again.
Oh, and a mix!
I got Chicago's finest sons The Clams here with an AMAZING new song, some Beach House, my favorite Sea and Cake track and some other songs for a lonely Valentine's Day. Or maybe even a romantic Valentine's Day, or maybe just for killing time while you're on the internet. Much luv...
