Destroy Rock & Roll

Today's Music That Jason Really Shouldn't Like But Does, Kind Of is Destroy Rock & Roll, by Mylo. I don't really know anything about this group/artist/kitty, so I'll just talk about the music. It's a CD that I found at the library after getting a recommendation from an online music source.

The music has been best described, I believe, as "Daft Punk meets Fatboy Slim". It's very much electronic dance music, but catchy, easily the kind of stuff I'd play if I had a house party and the guests were just too rowdy for regular Twister. It's not quite what I'd prefer to work out to, though some of the tracks are upbeat enough for it; enjoying this music takes a fine balance of actual appreciation and ironic appreciation. Still pretty interesting after having listened to it off and on for the better part of a year now, which is probably as much of an endorsement as I can give this album. Favorite tracks are "In My Arms", "Zenophile", and pretty much anything but the title track, which is really just an awful four minutes of rock name-dropping. I generally skip that track when I listen to this album, which, given that I haven't for a while, might be later today.

In other news:
Yesterday sucked hard enough to make up for three and a half days of fun weekend. But I did have a very good capoeira class last night, and it's also not yesterday any more. Today is going to be a better day.
