Not quite as long a playlist as some weeks, maybe because a) I’ve been quite stuck on that Deslondes album, as well as the pretty Go-Betweensy debut from Courtney Barnett affiliate Fraser A Gorman, and of course “The Monsanto Years”; and b) Kamasi Washington’s often tremendous album is about three hours long, and eats up a lot of time.

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen an appalling photo of the new issue of Uncut that I posted earlier this morning, plugging the Rolling Stones cover story – it’s Jagger on “Sticky Fingers” – in the wake of them playing the whole album in LA last night. Our lucky subscribers should be getting this over the weekend, and it arrives in UK shops next Tuesday. Also featuring 13th Floor Elevators, Jim O’Rourke, Hipgnosis, Sturgill Simpson, Ian Dury, SFA, Ringo and me, at length, on Mick Head And The Strands.
