I am smitten and kicking myself for missing their debut album’s release last summer, but I am fiercely making up for lost time. This evening’s Velvet Potty Mouth award goes to STRFKR, whose distinctive FUCK sat like a rock in a river of glitter and was carefully edited out for the Grand Valley’s sensitive ears.]]>jclackingMixtape 223 :: Paige Machine2024-03-07T00:00:00+00:002024-03-16T22:42:06+00:00https://the.lacking.org/mixtapes/2024/0223-paige-machinePacks’ uniquely unbalanced delivery gives me the woozies.]]>jclackingMixtape 222 :: Machine Shop2024-02-29T00:00:00+00:002024-03-16T22:42:06+00:00https://the.lacking.org/mixtapes/2024/0222-machine-shopIt’s time to take perspective on our hyper-technologized society, through the audio lens of song.]]>jclackingMonolith2024-02-27T00:00:00+00:002024-03-16T22:42:06+00:00https://the.lacking.org/playlists/2024/monolithA very quiet night, perhaps everyone is hunkering down for the leap day. Featured is IDLES, who all look like they could recommend a good IPA, and also would be willing to kick my ass for thinking so. Tonight featured more than our usual ration of covers, starting with a not-unlikely take on Beck’s “Loser” and following up with takes on tracks originally made famous by Muppets and Devo.]]>jclackingMixtape 221 :: Top Brass2024-02-23T00:00:00+00:002024-03-16T22:42:06+00:00https://the.lacking.org/mixtapes/2024/0221-top-brassIs there anything Matt Berry can’t do and do well?]]>jclackingMixtape 220 :: Big Air2024-02-22T00:00:00+00:002024-03-16T22:42:06+00:00https://the.lacking.org/mixtapes/2024/0220-big-airEveryone loves the Office Dog, and is giving it snacks in secret.]]>jclackingMixtape 219 :: Zaddy Mountain2024-02-15T00:00:00+00:002024-03-16T22:42:06+00:00https://the.lacking.org/mixtapes/2024/0219-zaddy-mountainThick Paint has a sound you just want to slather and spread on.]]>jclackingInzane2024-02-13T00:00:00+00:002024-03-16T22:42:06+00:00https://the.lacking.org/playlists/2024/inzaneIt’s the evening before Valentine’s Day, which means absolutely nothing here at lacking org.
