Over a week on, I suppose we’re still dealing with a kind of Neil Young & Crazy Horse feedback. This week’s major live distraction in the office, though, has been a stream/download of Wilco’s covers set from their festival last Friday night. The whole thing is hugely recommended but, if you’re pressed for time, please have a listen to the uncanny version of “Marquee Moon” I’ve embedded below.
Lots more to try out here, as you can see. A good week, in general, but worth dropping the monthly caveat that I’ve just listed the records I’ve played, and not limited it to the ones I liked. It’s in playing order rather than any rank, too: ie Nils Frahm got an airing first thing on Monday morning, so that’s why it’s Number One, not because it was my favourite out of the 18 (I did like it, though, especially the Clark remix).
Enough pedantry. Unexpected appearance of the week is Judy Dyble from the first Fairports lineup singing with Füxa. Unexpected shift of the week comes from Arp, who’s mostly ditched the kosmische jams and reconstructed himself, not unpleasantly, in the image of Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci. Have a listen…
