A mixed bag today, as I contemplate giving up and playing a bunch of old Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings records in preparation for tonight’s Hammersmith gig. A couple of housekeeping things before I go, though. One, in my relentless and awkward campaign of self-promotion, please check out my new Twitter @JohnRMulvey; I’m using it a lot at the moment. Second, it seems an apposite week to remind everyone that these playlists are merely a record of the music played in the Uncut office, and consequently inclusion does not automatically equate with recommendation. Big cosmic thumbs-up for the new Starving Weirdos record, though, and enduring love for the Blues Control & Laraaji jam, which I’ve written about at length in the forthcoming issue of Uncut. 1 The Little Willies – For The Good Times (Parlophone) 2 Hot Knives – Hot Knives (Grown Up Wrong) 3 Lindstrøm – Six Cups Of Rebel (Smalltown Supersound) 4 Rhyton – Rhyton (Thrill Jockey) 5 Starving Weirdos – Land Lines (Amish) 6 King Krule – EP (True Panther Sounds) 7 Ital – Hive Mind (Planet Mu) 8 Handgjort – Handgjort (Silence) 9 Outfit – Two Islands (Double Denim) 10 Howler – America Give Up (Rough Trade) 11 Francois & The Atlas Mountains – E Volo Love (Domino) 12 Trailer Trash Tracys – Ester (Domino) 13 Blues Control & Laraaji – FRKWYS Vol 8: Blues Control & Laraaji (RVNG)
