You might remember that last week’s playlist contained a Mystery Record, sternly embargoed and so on by the record company, thoroughly underwhelming to listen to. A few of you had a decent stab at guessing the high-security identity of the artist(s), suggesting I was sat on new MP3s by The Verve, Bob Dylan produced by Rick Rubin, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, The Wu-Tang Clan, Blur, Oasis, Ride, Guns N’ Roses, Prince, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Kraftwerk or Rage Against The Machine.
Bouquets and hosannas to Gary, though, who was the only person to correctly guess that the record was by Sigur Ros. Yep. Wow. No such excitement this week, I’m afraid, though a seven-CD Django Reinhardt box set is definitely consolation of a sort. Here’s the rundown. . .
