The 19th Uncut Playlist Of 2013

Playing the Daft Punk album this morning (it’s streaming on iTunes if you haven’t found it yet), which is quite interesting. Bits of it are astonishing, I’d say (“Get Lucky” of course, “Contact”, “Giorgio By Moroder” especially). I am finding it hard, though, to completely sign up to a record that intermittently reminds me of Christopher Cross record. Evidently, I still carry traces of ‘80s indie militancy.

Let me know what you think when you’ve had a listen. Lots more to play this week, as you can see from the embedded content below (apologies for the two blanks: embargoes, I’m afraid). Not new, but can I especially recommend the Carolyn Crawford track? Been obsessed with this one since I found it on a Philly International comp last year, but as far as I can tell it’s only just turned up on Youtube

Couple of other bits of housekeeping while I’m here. First, we’ve finally introduced a dedicated Features section at www.www.uncut.co.uk (click here to go straight to Uncut Features), where we’re archiving a lot of long reads from the magazine: worth a browse, I would hope.

Second, our latest Ultimate Music Guide arrives in UK shops on Thursday, this one dedicated to the long and eventful career of Nick Cave. Usual drill: extended new reviews of every Boys Next Door, Birthday Party, Bad Seeds and Grinderman album (plus essays about Cave’s films and books); then loads of old, uncut features from NME and Melody Maker. Plenty of highlights, though I should probably especially recommend Gavin Martin’s interview with an unusually candid Cave, conducted between drinking binges in Sao Paolo in 1994, and the Steve Sutherland piece from 1982 that we’ve headlined, “Maybe they’ll all piss on us tonight like the scum we are!” Enjoy…
