Mux134: November 2013

And just on the day I was about to start my always-far-too-long-to-finish-on-time-unless-I-start-in-October yearly music roundup, an Arcade Fire album comes out. So if nothing else, there's none of that here, since I, you know, usually make these about a week in advance. And my hope-it-proves-me-wrong first-listen of Reflecktor had me thinking, "Eh."

And why the hell is the mastering so low?

Boom.

2. HEALTH - High Pressure Dave (The Music of Grand Theft Auto V)

3. Haim - Forever (Days Are Gone)

4. !!! - Blue (Strange Weather, Isn't It? bonus track)

5. Sleigh Bells - Bitter Rivals (Bitter Rivals)

Mux132: Portland Part 3

Three Portland trips in less than a year. Better be the last before the longest-delayed move ever.

It also justifies the rather obvious addition of the bonus track.
