Strange juxtapositions and all that, but please have a listen to the Date Palms track and, in the unlikely event you haven’t been near the internet for the past few days, the Daft Punk clip. Nile Rodgers’ expression is a thing of joy, among other things.
Apologies for the clandestine business around Number 18, but that record hasn’t actually been announced yet. Good, though (I’m not convinced everything else is on this list).
