Mixtape 237 • The Way You Say It
The sound of Chicano Batman is a half-dozen ice-cubes liquidly clinking in a tall glass.
The sound of Chicano Batman is a half-dozen ice-cubes liquidly clinking in a tall glass.
It was a globe-spanning show, with listeners checking in from the Grand Valley, the Florida swamps, and as far as Japan, where it was already Wednesday lunchtime. Meanwhile, The Libertines are up to their old antics again, at least the ones where they sound like a recently unfrozen cadre of British Invasion troglodytes. Also fun: playing a track called “We Will Not Apologize” and following that up with “Stop Apologizing”. Sounds about right.
There’s something simply ADORABLE about a rapper with a British accent. Mike Skinner is no longer fronting the project, but expect more great things from him.
