Spent the past few hours hoping against hope that the unconfirmed stories weren't true... [youtube]Zw5ztuhEat4[/youtube] ...

14th January 2011

As I mentioned on Friday, I’m indebted to David for turning me onto this album by Date Palms. Quickly, it reminds me of a bunch of my favourite music - Alice Coltrane, Terry Riley, Pandit Pran Nath, Cluster, Sun Araw, Brightblack Morning Light, PG Six – while combining the influences into something relatively original.

The Fall; “This Nation’s Saving Grace: Omnibus Edition”

Fans of The Fall are, as a rule, hardy beasts. Complaint may come naturally to them, but then so does loyalty. John Peel’s famous encomium, “They are always different, they are always the same,” is the perpetual excuse for their favourite band, which disregards a certain erosion of Mark E Smith’s charms.

Elle Osborne: “Good Grief”

Happy new year: I trust everyone had some kind of decent break. I read Robert Byron on Tibet (for climatic context, possibly), watched Robinson In Ruins, played a fair bit of Pharoah Sanders and The Watersons, and rediscovered that a body clock wrecked by parenthood can be very useful during an Ashes series.

Captain Beefheart RIP

Awful news this morning. I posted a link to this a few months ago, but I think it needs to be seen again today.

The Judges Discuss: Gorillaz, “Plastic Beach”

Allan Jones: I’m told this is a work of genius... I must admit that it’s not a record I’ve particularly warmed to myself, or engaged with, but I’m open to being persuaded otherwise.

Slow Previewing 4: Ty Segall, The Parting Gifts, The Fresh And Onlys

Among other things I’ve failed to blog about this year, it occurs to me I’ve been particluarly slack on the subject of garage rock. A quick attempt to make amends today, with three of my favourites, before I get round to putting together a 2010 chart of sorts.
