Dan Weiss is a young writer who seems well-meaning and smart enough, but honestly, does he really think DFA associates Hercules and Love Affair’s disco track “Blind” is really “a projected summer hit”–maybe in England or New York, and if so he should’ve said so–much less “a mélange of Primal Scream’s ‘Swastika Eyes’ and Blur’s ‘Girls and Boys'”? Is this really as far back as Weiss can go with a record so swimming in ’70s and ’80s sonic signifiers? [Village Voice]
