The Weeknd – House Of Balloons
This mix tape (seems more like a short album to me) is some weird R&B that’s being made by two anonymous musicians. So far I’ve gleaned that they are (or were?) living in Toronto, and that Drake is a fan. My first impression was “This sounds like The-Dream got super depressed, developed a drinking problem and then made an album.” Which is to say, it sounds amazing. Best of all, it’s available for free on their website. Yet another rebuttal to anyone who says this isn’t the most amazing time for music in the last century.

Two twitter feeds that have been making my newsfeed lately:
@longreads
The Liberation of Lori Berenson: Life after 15 yrs in Peruvian prison. Jennifer Egan, @NYTimesMagazine http://t.co/ngYKYZW #longreads
@longreads
Longreads
Do you have a job that affords you plenty of time to read things on the internet? Well, @longreads is about to be your best friend. It’s basically a collection of long-ish articles that are available to read online, almost all of which are interesting. Articles are sourced from publications like The New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, and The New York Review Of Books, among others. If you’re not big on Twitter, you can also browse articles via their Tumblr. Essential stuff for the curious and/or bored.
@discographies
Broadcast: 1 "I had this hazy dream about the future:" 2-3 "I grasped at patterns that grew lovelier as they diffused. I never caught them."
@Discographies
Discographies
For the music nerd, @discographies offers short, amusing summaries of artists’ entire careers in 140 characters or less. Obviously, you’re not getting any real insight from this one, but it’s always good for a funny or poignant moment. This one about Joy Division and New Order is probably my favorite (so far):
Joy Division/New Order: 1-2 "He left notes." 3 "The funeral was hard." 4-8 "We got high & danced. It helped." 9-10 "But he was still dead."

March Top 10 Mix
Instead of putting out a late February Chart, consider this an early March chart (comprised of things I listened to during February, as it happens). Starts off with some balearic italo stuff before getting into some dancier disco and house tunes that I’ve been into. Relish had a good month, with releases from both Hannulelauri and Headman appearing here.
