Hi there. I hope you all had good weekends. Were you, like me, glued to the BBC for the duration of the athletics?

Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon designs ‘cruelty free’ shoe

Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon has helped to design a sneaker for 'cruelty free' footwear brand, Keep. The double Grammy winning musician has joined forces with Los Angeles based company Keep to make a 'salmon' pink canvas shoe, which features "herringbone accents" and "a black fishbone detail across the toe".

The 19th Uncut Playlist Of 2012

A week somewhat overshadowed by the Dexys show that I wrote about yesterday. Apologies for banging on about this some more, but the comments on my blog are definitely worth reading, and I’ve embedded below some unusually high-quality clips of “This Is What She’s Like”, “Lost” and “Come On Eileen”…

The 17th Uncut Playlist Of 2012

One of a bunch of interesting Record Store Day exclusives just turned up for this week’s playlist; a lovely EP from Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy that involves Jonathan Wilson in some capacity, and features covers of Leon Russell and Merle Haggard.

Panda Bear: “Tomboy”

Listening to “Tomboy” on the way to work this morning, I started thinking about how Radiohead and Panda Bear have both played the internet these past few weeks/months. I read a very good piece yesterday by Stephen Troussé, that’ll be in the next print edition of Uncut, about “The King Of Limbs” and what he calls “the re-enchantment of the album release.”

Slow Previewing 2: International Hello, Fabulous Diamonds, Highlife

Following on from Friday’s blog, another round-up today of some records that’ve taken me an embarrassingly long time to write up.

The 33rd Uncut Playlist Of 2010

Good list, this one, I reckon. Among some really nice arrivals from old favourites: a new Voice Of The Seven Thunders remix EP; a stripped-back one from Hiss Golden Messenger; Etienne Jaumet’s Zombie Zombie project ramping up the Carpenter vibes; The Reigning Sound’s Greg Cartwright and Raconteur/Greenhorne Patrick Keeler in The Parting Gifts; and, maybe best of all, the debut album by Hans Chew, who you might know from his piano-playing on various Jack Rose and Helix jams. A lot more about that one, especially, soon.

The 32nd Uncut Playlist Of 2010

Bit of a mixed bag here: let me enthusiastically flag the Secret Sisters, Wooden Wand, Dean McPhee, Imaad Wasif and The Fresh And Onlys, and maintain a dignified silence about a few of the other records on the playlist this week.
