Roundup
Music is great and people like to listen to it.
1. Here at Stereogum, a bunch of musicians phone in their tributes to the record Meat is Murder, and then Drew Daniel from Matmos schools the rest of them with a really fascinating, considered, kind of beautiful tribute to the record Meat is Murder.
2. Blake’s favorite band, Wavves, have a new record, and it’s not as fucked up and distorted as the last one. So someone fucked up and distorted the first single:

Mini editing prompt: take something you just wrote, compare it to one of your first published pieces, and then try to rewrite the new thing as if you were still the writer you were when you first started writing in earnest.
3. Last night, Aaron Burch drunkenly decided to have a summer West Coast tour. I propose we all send him mixed tapes. Or mixed CDs. Or whatever the hell kids do these days.

I don’t know shit about music but I love the Smiths. Thanks for this.

the kids are whistling, i hear
The kids are brilliant!
Whistle for Aaron Burch. Call him while he is on the road and whistle songs to him.
Isn’t that little essay amazing?
The mixed flash drive, being that it mostly eliminates the necessary restraint needed to put together a great mixed tape, is possibly an abomination.

I’ve got 7k albums. I’d be happy to make him a mix CD like no one’s ever heard. Does he want a mix CD?

I liked the first Wavves album. It sounds kind of like Times New Viking, who did the song “Imagine Dead John Lennon” — a Greatest Hit for me as it really stuck in my head. Fuck Buttons are in there too, but the 2nd Fuck Buttons CD sounded tired. I only listened to it once.
But lately I’m just listening to Nico, “The Marble Index” plus three songs from “The End.” I don’t need the legend to be moved. She had John Cale, secret ingredient to the Velvet Undergroud’s best songs.
I like this and want more.
Yes to Times New Viking.
Disagree re. Fuck Buttons second album. It’s maybe not as good as the first, but I’ve still played it a bunch.

Anyone hear that new Japandroids song, “Younger Us”? Fantastic.
I’ll give it another spin.
