Side note: I moved a bunch of old links over from Mediafire to Workupload. So if you've encountered a dead link in the past, it's high time you gave it another shot.
This is another Mojo freebie where I really wish I had the issue that this comp came with. Yet again, I find myself wondering how some of these songs relate thematically. Sure, I can get Mingus and Messiaen and Slint as inspirational touchpoints. And clearly there are a pair of Radiohead covers present. But it's another instance where how this was compiled would be a lot clearer if I just had the copy of Mojo. The "why" matters to me. It probably shouldn't, but I'm kinky that way.
This one leads off with Clinic, Can, and Charles Mingus, and that's pretty solid a trifeca as you'll find on one of these. Truth be told: I think I'd rather listen to each of the artists here, rather than Radiohead. I won't give any sort of Pitchfork-y snark; I'll just say I'm kind of worn out by them. And that's as someone who definitely queued up for a couple of midnight Radiohead releases.
