February is like a miniature dark age every year. Feel free to write to us at mail@mutablesound.com. Gabe has been reading a lot, and listening to Lilith, by George MacDonald, a post of which is up now! Animal Hospital’s new album will be released on the fourteenth of this month. The theme for the week is authenticity, a word which Gabe barely understands.The eighties were certainly far from pure, but there was some purely synthetic music that came out of the eighties. For Book You, Gabe reads from The Green Hills of Elsewhere, by Thomas Frank, editor-in-chief of the Baffler, founded right here in Chicago, though now published out of Washington, D.C. The article in question was published in another periodical, however, the late great Hermenaut, though still existing as a blog aggregator at hermenaut.org. Malcolm always thought the postal service was part of our heritage, but now it’s really sad. Gabe used to get collages in the mail, and now nothing. And what of the switch from candle light to flourescent light? Advertisements are discussed, from ABC to Pepsi. We can change the world, but what will happen in 2012? Malcolm is optimistic, but no, Gabe is talking about the apocalypse. Adam Sandler in an Aztec romantic comedy? The show ends with Gabe’s guide to really sincerely being himself.
