Lots to play here, not least because Michael helped me work out, at last, how to add Bandcamp links here – hence the appearance, just announced, of a fine new set of jams from Steve Gunn and John Truscinski.

Also this week: two songs from the great Hiss Golden Messenger album (reupping my Q&A with MC Taylor about Hallelujah Anyhow if you missed it last week); Ian Svenonius back as Escape-ism; another nudge to give James Holden and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith a go; an outtake from the LCD Soundsystem album which is out today, and which I don’t think I’ve mentioned enough; and finally, a tremendous first track from the Kurt & Courtney album, complete with a really sweet video.
