Great start this morning, as I’ve just cracked open the new Prins Thomas album, which seems to carry on right where Lindström & Thomas’ “II” left off. In other goodish news, this long-running dickaround will finally be resolved in the next couple of days. I imagine you’ve all guessed what it is now? A bit of a mixed bag on the list this week – an unusually large number of records I can be at best equivocal about, really. Some good things, though: if you missed it yesterday, can I especially recommend the amazing Baloji video? 1 Flying Lotus – Cosmogramma (Warp) 2 Eddy Current Suppression Ring – Rush To Relax (Melodic) 3 Iggy & The Stooges – Move Ass Baby (Lemon) 4 Deep Purple – Singles & EP Anthology 1968-80 (Harvest) 5 Rufus Wainwright – All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu (Polydor) 6 Bill Callahan – Rough Travel For A Rare Thing (Drag City) 7 Various Artists – Elektronische Musik: Experimental German Rock And Electronic Musik 1972-83 (Soul Jazz) 8 Dirtmusic – BKO (Glitterhouse) 9 Small Black – Small Black EP (Jagjaguwar) 10 Jamie Lidell – Compass (Warp) 11 Lotion – Nobody’s Cool (Big Cat) 12 Steve Mason – Boys Outside (Double Six) 13 Sleepy Sun – Fever (ATP Recordings) 14 Dr Dog – Shame, Shame (Anti-) 15 Baloji – Karibu Ya Bintou 16 The Giuseppe Logan Quintet - The Giuseppe Logan Quintet (Tompkins Square) 17 Jerusalem And The Starbaskets – Room 8b (De Stijl) 18 Silvain Vanot – Bethesda (Megaphone) 19 White Hinterland – Kairos (Dead Oceans) 20 Disappears – Lux (Kranky) 21 Best Coast – “Something in the Way" (PPM) 22 Roedelius – Wenn Der Südwind Weht (Sky/Bureau B) 23 Bear In Heaven – Beast Rest Forth Mouth (Hometapes) 24 Local Natives – Gorilla Manor (Infectious) 25 Erykah Badu Featuring Lil Wayne – Jump Up In The Air (Stay There) (Motown) 26 Jonas Reinhardt – Powers Of Audition (Kranky) 27 Prins Thomas – Prins Thomas (Full Pupp)
