First up, Julie - England Expectorates / Self Civil War. Both new to me this week. Gave the latter far more plays - mainly because I thought it was much better. I gather that the former is pretty much all Cope and found it a bit lacking - certainly sonically. Self Civil War on the other hand is mostly fab, benefitting from great glam solo guitarwork by Mr Holman. Cope definitely benefits from collaborating with others.
Starting to work through my Mp3 collection this week:
808 State Ex:El. Haven't really listened to this much but found it favourable this time round
Akron/Family - Meek Warrior
Alabama 3 - Outlaw
Amadou & Miriam - Dimanche a Bamako
Arab Strap - Philophobia
Bas Jan - Yes I Jan / Instant Nostalgia EP. Anyone else going to see them on their Leyline tour with Pictish Trail? Thought not. Love the playful lyrics with a modern indy sensibility.
Still working my way through my CD collection around about the letter U:
Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman / Onehundreddaysoff
