Not a whole lot this week. The Pixies - Everything Not played them in the longest, and developed a real taste fer em' and binge listened to all the albums several times over. Bossanova still my fav, and Trompe Le Monde still my least fav'. B-Sides collection better than I recall, ditto Pixies at the BBC. VCMG - Sssss Wish they'd pair up again. This is a great album with a beautiful crunch and click to many tracks.

New Energy - Four Tet I've bought quite a few Four Tet albums over the years, but I reckon this one from last year could just be my favourite. Recommended if you like pretty tinkly keyboard motifs over scattery percussion. Maybe best avoided of you don't. S/T - Fujiya & Miyagi Unbelievably enjoyable modern day electro-pop. Great production. Low In High School – Morrissey I honestly didn't expect it to be this good! A Bell Is A Cup... - Wire Vien (CDS) – Wir Silver/Lead – Wire Three very different phases...the late 80's pop version, a cd single from the 90's three piece version (two long tracks, the second of which – Sexy & Rich – is fab!) and the latest album, which suffers from being too mid-paced and not different enough to the last few and yet...despite these criticisms I do find myself enjoying it more than I probably let on. Also... Remedies – Dr John “Here, My Dear” - Marvin Gaye The Hum – Hookworms Microshift – Hookworms Gargoyle - Mark Lanegan Band They Were Wrong, So We Drowned – Liars You Don't Have To Be In The Army – Mungo Jerry S/T – Secret Machines Version Galore – U-Roy There Is A Light (Uncut) – V/A

Swans - The Great Annihilator, My Father Will Lead me up the rope to the sky. Both definitely have their moments and are to these ears anyway, quite accessible. Not sure if I've heard them do a classic album though Sonic Youth - A thousand Leaves Shostakovich - Symphonies 7 and 8 The Stooges - S/T, Funhouse Siouxsie and the Banshees - Kaleidoscope Mr Scruff - Keep it unreal Smog - My Wild Love Sunno))) and Ulver - Terrestrials Squarepusher - Budakhan Mindfone Stone Roses - Turns into Stone Serafina Steer - Cheap Demo Bad Science Adrian Sherwood - Survival and Resistance Sultans of Ping FC - Casual Sex in the Cineplex William Shatner - Transformed Man The The - Soulmining, Dusk. I absolutely love Matt Johnson's songwriting. So reassuring and honest. Amon Tobyn - Supermodified Tears for Fears - Songs from the Big Chair Trad Gras Och Stenar - S/T Ultrasound - Play for Today Bas Jan - Yes I Jan King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland The more observant amongst you might have noticed that my listings are a lot longer these days. All because I don't bother listening to 6 music as much now.

Ooof, been laid low by plague… Skydive Trio – Sun Sparkle. More jazz/prog/rock Scandinavians, this time in a guitar-led trio formation. Nice if not immediately earth-shattering. https://soundcloud.com/hubro/skydive-trio-decending-from-the-upcoming-album-sun-sparkle Ryley Walker – Deafman Glance. Loving this now, with all its quirks. Blackwater Holylight – s/t. Did I say the last track on this album is called ‘Jizz Witch’? VA – Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present Paris In The Spring. So, here’s something which I think will be of serious interest to many here. It’s a companion (in terms of timeframe) to the excellent English Weather from last year (which somebody flagged up on this very forum), only this time, looking at the crossover in France between ye-ye, chanson and the funky orchestral soundtracks of Jean-Claude Vannier etc. Released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the May ’68 riots, it is brilliant: https://www.acerecords.co.uk/bob-stanley-pete-wiggs-present-paris-in-the-spring-1 The Nightcrawlers – The Biophonic Boombox Recordings. Primitive US kosmische from the late 70s/early 80s, recorded live. Definitely of interest if you’re particularly inclined in that direction… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iopLaEbbe1E Bark Psychosis – Codename: Dustsucker. Their second album, released ten years after their first, and completely overlooked at the time. Pretty much carries on from where Hex left off, though there’s some pleasantly trippy stuff here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyk11Vkxgzo Live: La Feline – Birthdays, Stoke Newington. I’ve blahhed on plenty about how brilliant I think the latest La Feline album is – wasn’t sure how it was going to translate live, but Agnes Gayraud & band did a great job. The keys/synths were mixed quite high, which gave the tunes a more electronic feel, which for the most part worked really well, particularly playing the ‘sequenced’ sections in in real time. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mlu_D0P_YIs

Ace are ace.
