Jonathan Beckett - She’s a Vampire
Downloadable ep from Occultation the Wild Swan people. 3 songs each better than the last, and the first is good. Namechecks the Wild Swans, Soft Boys, Pere Ubu etc and the whole thing kind of has melancholia for that era. Epic, witty and lush. I love it.
Jeni & Billy - Longing for Heaven
Charming appalachianana via Nashville Tennesee. Single girls and conmen preachers figure.
Banjo players: They spend half their lives tuning, and the other half playing out of tune. thankyouverymuch.
Lucinda Williams - Essence
Been meaning to get this since i heard a track on Irish Radio (via me freesat) and the guitars sounded like I always want Quicksilver Messenger Service to sound but they never quite do.
And I keep hearing Plan B and he sounds alright to me. Eminem meets Marvin Gaye anybody?
