The new Cat Power album just arrived – or at least a stream of it arrived onto my computer – so that’s playing as I write this morning. Sounds pretty good, with a remarkable version of “New York New York” to kick things off, but I’ll blog about it properly in the next few days.
For today, though, I think these are all the records we’ve played in the Uncut office over the past 24 hours.
