La Vita Nuova (EP) – Christine & the Queens
If you liked the Chris album, then you are likely to really enjoy this, too.
Snap Crackle & Bop – John Cooper Clarke
I recently read I Wanna Be Yours, the autobiography of the talented poet and very funny performer that is John Cooper Clarke - a one-off who I have been fortunate to see live a couple of times (first time supporting Elvis Costello & the Attractions in 1979 at the Manchester Free Trade Hall with the mighty Richard Hell & the Voidoids on the same bill - wow! - and then supporting The Fall in more recent years where he was more stand-up comedian than poet). So I obviously had very high hopes for this autobiography. It almost lived up to them, but just...not quite. Nonetheless, there is so much to enjoy. Anyway, I decided to dig out my old copy of SN&B for the first time in years and was surprised to hear how drowned out some of the lyrics are are at times. Beasley Street still sounds magnificent though.
