If you follow The FADER you know that on one of our favorite dudes in the world is New York writer and bon vivant T Cole Rachel. Cole has a DJ night where he almost exclusively plays Fleetwood Mac (and we get kinda drunk), but we also know him to like some dance music. So consider this CFCF cover of the Mac’s 1987 new age jam a dedication to Cole, but take it for yourself as well—it’s like balearic weed pop, or hairy wizard disco or something. If you like it, there’s plenty more on CFCF’s new album Continent, now available from Paper Bag Records.
Blame It On My Wild Heart: Fleetwood Mac Power Hour
- story THE FADER
Power Hour is a really fun drinking game to play. But like most drinking games and most games in general, it possesses an inherent flaw: sometimes more labor is required than the already-drunk (because you probably already are) can handle. For those who aren’t familiar, a Power Hour entails taking a swig of champagne/beer/champagne-of-beers every time the song on your playlist changes. To speed things up, each song only lasts for one minute. Sounds easy enough, but all of that fiddling around in your iTunes preferences to change the track lengths can get pretty lame.
Luckily, someone else took care of it and created Artisanal Power Hour Mixes for the Discriminating Binge Drinker, which includes a soundtrack to something we’ve all done before, whether it’s been in the company of friends or in the privacy of a candlelit bathtub filled with our own tears: drinking to the music of Fleetwood Mac. It begins with the haunting chimes of “Rhiannon” and ends with a feeling not dissimilar from Mick Fleetwood’s debilitating addiction to alcohol.
