Album / ??!! / Business Best Buy Butters Up Hudson Mohawke
Posted by Dave Segal on Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 5:38 PM
Turn to page 54 in this week's Stranger. Peruse the Best Buy ad in the upper right corner. Whoa. WTF?
Normally the retail giant spotlights mainstream releases, but this week it includes Hudson Mohawke's glitter-glitch opus Butter CD (the power of a Rihanna recommendation? Or did Warp Records suddenly receive a huge influx of pounds?). I like this bit of ad copy describing HudMo's Polyfolk EP: "hyper melodic drum-and-synth sidewinders." Really honing in on Best Buy's demographic with that sort of talk.
This is all very peculiar... What next—Mike Slott 12s at Wal-Mart?
