PSA: Cassettes Won't Listen

This is probably not news to you.

But what might be news is that "Cassettes Won't Listen" is the name of one of those Gorillaz-like bands actually made up of one guy pretending to be several guys – and he's awesome.

You can listen for yourself to his "small answering machine mixtape" track (and others), which is a half-hour-long remix of songs by Midlake, El-P, Asobi Seksu, Pela, Morcheeba, and other CWL tracks. It includes "Paper Float," I believe, and "Freeze and Explode," which is one of those songs you feel unaffected by – until it get stuck in your head for three days and you still don't hate it – which are part of his most recent EP, "Small-Time Machines."

After listening to the mix, I went out on the wild, wild Web looking for the tracks he'd used (except "Flyentology," by El-P, which I already had – yes, I listen to underground rap, suckaz), and expanded from there. I'm still expanding, like CWL was a musical Big Bang.

It's a whole new world of music out there, post-Cassettes. Get into it.
