Mixtape Wednesday: Slipmatt, Zora Jones, Forever Traxx and More
With .ext e n s i o n, Homedrone reaches deep into the Internet to map electronic sight and sound.
Each Tuesday, I drive around delivering this humble rag and I pick out a handful of mixes to listen to on my way. On Wednesday, I'll post them here. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're bad. Sometimes they're new, sometimes they're old, but these are the ones that get me rollin' on that route.

Hear a Track from Harvey Milk Bassist Stephen Tanner's New LP
Local sludge/doom/post-comedic metal trio Harvey Milk has been "on hiatus" since 2010's bleak, bone-crushing, career-defining A Small Turn of Human Kindness—which, BTW, you can stream on Bandcamp, along with much of the band's back catalog.
But fans of the group have reason to celebrate today, as it has been revealed that HM bassist Stephen Tanner—he of unkempt mane and perpetually befuddled facial expression—has constructed a solo LP under the name Music Blues (!). Inspired in part by a bout of depression brought on after the death of Tanner's friend (and former Maserati drummer) Jerry Fuchs, Things Haven't Gone Well is out Aug. 26 via Thrill Jockey, and you can pre-order the album on "shit-brown vinyl" here.
Noisey's got the premiere of "91771," the record's leadoff track, along with an extended Q&A with Tanner, who recorded the album in Athens while staying at HM frontman Creston Spiers' house but now lives in New York City. Below, stream the song and check out some of the best bits from the interview:
