First batch.

I was listening to Daft Punk's Daft Club earlier, which is a collection of remixes of their songs, mostly from Discovery. It's pretty bad. There was a cool Slum Village remix because they actually rapped over the song and one of The Neptunes' remixes (they were allowed two for some reason) was good but that was it. Guess you can't fix what ain't broken, especially when the OGs are so good. And why are there so many duplicate tracks? How many times can someone fuck up "Aerodynamic" or "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" before the songs are completely killed?  On the same compilation nonetheless.  Whatever.

Now I'm listening to Jandek's Later On from 1981. Aside from the fact that every Jandek song sounds the fucking same, I like this record a decent amount. It didn't make me think too much of the typical 'make your guitar out-of-tune and sing like Huckleberry Hound' formula he's so well-known for. I'll be coming back to this one, probably while drunk.
