A long list this week, reflecting perhaps a certain current fixation on the work of Julia Holter and Elephant Micah.
Couple of other notes. Lubomyr Melnyk is purportedly the world’s fastest pianist, and is playing tonight at Café Oto: wish I could be there. And Lightships is the solo album by Gerard Love from Teenage Fanclub that he seems to have been loosely promising for the best part of two decades. That one’s just arrived, and I need to play it some more.
