This week’s playlist is dominated by 75 Dollar Bill, who’ve been in the country and whose show in Cambridge (which I wrote about here) was astounding; all reports from London have been similar.
New stuff, though: Filthy Friends is the usual Peter Buck gang plus Corin Tucker, and is probably the best post-REM record as a consequence; the new Four Tet single is beautiful; and Lambchop have rescored “The Hustle” as a lavish disco number in the style of Barry White and the Love Unlimited Orchestra. A bunch of things here I’d like to play you, though tracks aren’t yet in the public domain (especially the Zara McFarlane album). But do engage with Julian Cope and his family’s month-long SydArthur Fest, and maybe even risk a listen to Mike Love’s brutal new take on “Do It Again”… “DO IT! DO IT!”
