Mux124: The Mux With No Name

Starts pretty coherent and then veers off into randomness. But isn't that every mux? I also need to note that the ten-minute Frank Ocean closer is included primarily because 1:12 to 1:29 is the best seventeen seconds of music I've heard in quite some time. I just want to loop that and watch Tron: Legacy.

Mystery tracklist!

I figure all two of you that jump at my muxes have already parsed the tracks. For those who haven't, or for those who want the tracklist to determine whether or not they will listen to this hipster slag:

1. Jay-Z - 99 Problems
2. Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
3. Eyedea & Abilities - Paradise (JDK Edit)
4. Gorillaz - Dare
5. YACHT - I'm In Love With A Ripper
6. Four Tet - Twenty Three
7. The Unicorns - I Was Born (A Unicorn)
8. The Magnetic Fields - I Think I Need A New Heart
9. Jens Lekman - Friday Night At The Drive-In Bingo
10. Pink Floyd - Fearless
11. The Mountain Goats - The Best Ever Death Metal Band In Denton

And if you haven't figured it out already, I post muxes on the first and the fifteenth. I usually do newish music for my first-of-the-month mux, then either some oldish favorites or some sort of theme for the midmonth mux.

* * *

Yesterday's post resulted in a relative deluge of texts and Facebook messages that, in brief, threatened DEATH if I quit Archetype. I thought prefacing the post-in-question with "I'm gonna air this out" meant it was sort of a theoretical exercise, but many took it literally. As I think I've mentioned several times, abandoning Arc is a ridiculous, childish, backward move, and to all involved it'd be disrespectful, unfair, and downright mean.

In the post I wanted to give some transparency to the often-conflicting process of filmmaking, which is, as this blog posits, quite often film-aching. It would be a lie to say it's always fun and easy. I guess I was misleading when I listed all the semi-valid reasons to just give up, and for those of you who were genuinely upset at what seemed like forfeiture, I apologize.

That said, I've pinned down a fifteen-day stretch at the start of October in which I think I have a very good shot at finishing what I need to get shot while it's still autumn-y outside; maybe I could even run a few marathon days and finish the bastard. I know it all sounds fairly dubious coming from me, given at this point I'm still getting everyone's availability and, as a result, can't unequivocally say that, for example, October 18 or October 30 or November 8 will be the last day of shooting. We'll know once we get there.

At the point where I shouldn't bother with naming these based on months, given that I've made like six mixes this month.

Starts off with two newish tracks, then kicks into some classic jams that, for whatever reason, haven't been put on a Mux yet. The Pitchfork 500 Tracks of Whatever reminded me to include them.
