Rockcritics.com’s Scott Woods has posted a new Muxtape consisting entirely of interviews and news items: Marshall McLuhan, Bob Dylan, and audio footage of news of John Lennon’s 1980 death. The big kahunas here, though, are the two 45-minute halves of a long session with Lester Bangs, in which the late critic goes on about new wave (he finds it lacking: the Pretenders’s Chrissie Hynde “sounds like Sandie Shaw” and the band “sounds like a thousand other bands”). Though these long pieces cut off midway through, this is recommended to criticism fans, which hopefully means you. [Muxtape]
