New reccurd from The Sidekicks. It's super, super nice.

A bit less rockin' than the last. This one's a bit more spacey, floaty, airy, I dunno. NICE SONGS.

This is really good.

 

'Hinterland' by Lonelady is out now.  It's easily one of the best albums I've heard in the last few years.  Every track is stunning.  You can stream it here:

So is this.

 

I like good albums.

I am going to listen to all of those because it's okay to judge albums by their covers, don't let anybody tell you anything different, and I think I would enjoy them based on that.

 

I have mostly been listening to these recently. (Photaes!)

Mac from Superchunk's record that I've mentioned a billion times on here already. Turns out it's really excellent. More synthy and 80s-sounding than I'm used to with his vocals, but it works. Sounds like a really nice soundtrack to a cool film that none of us have seen.

Sometimes the vocals remind me of the Vaselines, sometimes The Male Nurse and that is okay.

Such a grower but I'm glad that it has turned out to be so good.

There's a new Jeffrey Lewis album (new band, JL & Los Bolts) called Manhattan that was released the other day. I haven't listened to it yet but I can guarantee it will be brilliant.

 

He's playing two shows in Scotland in December.

Saturday December 12th - CCA, Glasgow

Sunday December 13th - The Mash House

 

Sadly nae ABZ date. The show last year at the Moorings was possibly the best I've seen him. He is just the greatest and I love him very much. 

 

Cool.

I have listened now. It is good. Highlights are 'Support Tour' and 'The Pigeon'. The latter is his Jewish reworking of Poe's The Raven that he used to do on tour, so glad it's been recorded! "Quoth the Pigeon, 'Bupkis'."

The new Grimes and Rustie albums are both great. Rustie's especially is a nice return to form.

I'm not sure about the new Grimes album. I really, really want to like it but it's not ticking the boxes for me at the moment, I will persevere though, hopefully it's a grower.

I loved her single "Go", if the album had been mostly like that I'd've been all over it like stink on a monkey!
