In one of his many magnificent, magically mundane stories, Japanese author Haruki Murakami likens freelance writing to snow shovelling — a routine chore that simply needs to be done. Having done plenty of both over the years, I could not agree more. Especially today. Why? Two reasons: 1 | Winter has arrived in a big way where I live, so I’ll be shifting plenty of snow in the next few days, and 2 | It’s time to plow through another weekend roundup of 191 new singles, videos, corvers and remixes — including dozens of keepers you won’t find anywhere else. Today’s coolest customers are tagged with a ❄️. Remember to lift with your legs:
