Another great Muxtape from The Style Press. This one features My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Echo & the Bunnymen and Jesus & Mary Chain. I’ve been listening all afternoon, stuck in high school nostalgia.

Bonus: Barry on Echo vs. Jesus & Mary Chain:

They always seemed what? They always seemed really great is what they always seemed. They picked up where your precious Echo left off, and you’re sitting around complaining about no more Echo albums. I can’t believe you don’t own this fucking record.

Volkswagen is considering Chattanooga for a new manufacturing plant. This will be the 3rd(?) auto manufacturer the City has tried to get at Enterprise South.

Despite my skepticism for whether it will happen or not, I really like the idea of Volkswagens rolling out of Chattanooga - moreso than the other companies they’ve tried to get on that site.
