The ever-edifying, Mark from Music For Robots converted me to the San Diego-based Muslims when he posted them about two months ago (Does this mean I’m no longer allowed to eat lox and bagels in good faith?). While their band name and penchant for playing conehead in the hot tub might preclude their chances for running for U.S. president, “Extinction” provided a lovely soundtrack for my walk to the eye doctor today (so so hip-hop). Easily one of my favorite rock singles of the year, the song is a two and half minute, Nuggets/Modern Lovers-type, end-to-end burner. Thing is, I could strive and strain all day long to describe the song with faux-eloquence, but really, Mark already cut to the marrow when he said, “The Muslims make rock ‘n roll music that’s catchy as fuck.” Allahu akbar.
