Mux187: Mr. Mux's Snow Day

Wicked early, but whatever. I've had the sequence for an entire week and nothing new is coming out, so it seems safe enough to release into the wild.

"Depreston" hits way too close to home after my relocation to suburbia, but it's a solid track.

Radiohead's "Spectre" is a million times better than Sam Smith's "Writing's On The Wall." No matter, since Spectre was a crummy movie.

Pitchfork seems to not give a shit about Cheatahs, whose self-titled album is absolutely phenomenal, albeit more like a tour of every style of 90's rock. Their follow-up, Mythologies, has yet to completely grow on me, but they're a fine band that no one seems to notice. Except the AV Club, who are far more reasonable and not concerned with Pitchfork's increasing habit of clickbait "news" and no longer giving a shit about any band with guitars.

I've been massively pissed off at James Murphy lately, hence below. What a giant dick. He not only ruined the legacy of LCD Soundsystem (Sleater-Kinney at least had the wisdom of waiting a decade, though No Cities To Love is shit next to the we're-done-mic-drop of The Woods) but also the wonderful documentary Shut Up And Play The Hits.

Tech note: Audacity really doesn't like it when songs are amplified greater than 2 dB, so "Blown A Wish" might be a bit quiet. The program normalizes a hell of a lot better than GarageBand, though.
