A lot of good stuff out in the last few weeks - new albums by Richard Hawley, Beach House, Best Coast, The Cribs and reissues by My Bloody Valentine.
Theres hope... THERES THE VACCINES!
Quite a few nice pieces under this link. Some sounds very "music for a movie" but there are some beautiful piano pieces. Hats off.
Seems that Setanta Records is closing & this collection is it swansong.
Emmy the Great. I know I first heard of her years ago but never listened to her and forgot about her completely. Spotify Radio came across her for me today and I really like what I've heard so far.
I was in Brighton at the weekend, I saw no starlings.
Listening to Natalie. A great day to relisten Flock on the hi-fi system.
... Chop Chop by Bell X1(streaming live on the Paste Magazine website http://bit.ly/10Rkhvj. I just got through my first listen. First impression is that I am not overly impressed. I had heard The End is Nigh, Motorcades, Careful What You Wish For, and Starlings Over Brighton Pier before the album came out and I like three of the four a lot. I'm not going to make a judgement on the entire album yet as I feel that I have prematurely done that before, and forced myself to eat my words later on.

OOh, well thats my work day soundtrack sorted for tomorrow.
Sandymount strand everyone (long time no sea). Low (C'mon), The Great Balloon Race (Cardboard), Idiot Songs (Natasya's Tears, patiently awaiting the record: taster... https://soundcloud.com/pearsemcgloughli ... syas-tears ). Actually, link, Balloon Race until recently shared a bassist with Altered Hours who are first on the bill at the Marquee next Thursday. Get in early. They're great.
