February Playlist

Some nice MSTRKRFT mixes this month, making up thankfully for that crappy DFA79 remix album. With SXSW 2006 a little over a month away and showcase announcements becoming an almost daily occurrance, MitM has begun the exhaustive raking over the coals of many of the acts scheduled to perform in Austin. So far the results are mixed. There are no standouts aside from the already established groups who play for the notoriety they've already established through their Pitchfork reviews, etc., however it would be absurd to write off 1100 or so performers with such a broad generalisation. A few of the more interesting bands heard so far manage to find the bottom of the list, but based only on a few listens.
