Some big new entries on this latest playlist, not least the arrival of REM's much-anticipated "Accelerate". I'll try and write something about the album in the next few days: morbidly suspicious as I am of all the "return to form" hype accumulating around "Accelerate", I'm beginning to think it is, actually, A Return To Form. But anyway. . . Here's what we've been playing. Dead Child, incidentally, are David Pajo and some other Slint affiliates who appear to be living out their teenage fantasies by trying to sound like Iron Maiden. 1.
