Quick Round-Up of what’s new and good on vaguely affiliated sites, since I’m probably going to be too a) busy b) glum c) banjaxed by server arse to do much today.
– Fred reviews the new Johnny Cash album.: I think it’s one of Fred’s best reviews. And the album might be good too: you need to hear Cash’s version of “I See A Darkness”, that I do know.
– Josh talks about music and emotion: an interesting discussion which would be more so if I knew more Mogwai. Possibly, anyway, though Mogwai leaves me inert, and not in the desirable way Josh is on about either.
– Tim talks about Green Velvet and house music, and makes it all sound extremely tasty.
– Ally hasn’t talked about music much this week, but this is probably my favourite recent blog entry anyhow. And yes, after hearing the same live tracks as her I am very keen to hear the Pulp album, too. More on that later should I find the time.
– Tim lays into Creation Records.
All these people deserve your attention, I think. I only wish some of them would write the odd Freaky Trigger article, too….
