Looming deadlines mean my blogging has been sketchy this week, but I have at least kept a longer-than-usual log of the records played in the past few days. As you’ll see, a good few interesting new arrivals here, too.
Check out the new Lindsey Buckingham and Hiss Golden Messenger tracks by hitting the links: both pretty special. And Purling Hiss are unstoppable at the moment, I think.
