Had some straights (as in' people who don't really like music') over today, and it's actually quite stressful trying to find stuff to play them that won't make them shit their pants or make wise-ass comments about how Autechre sounds like someone raping a dishwasher. The following worked:
'Too Long In This Condition' by Alasdair Roberts
'The Red River' by Micah Blue Smaldone
'Punky Reggae Party' V/A
The following most certainly did not:
'Causers of This' by Toro Y Moi
'Splazsh' by Actress
'My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky' by Swans (what was I thinking?)…
