The 32nd Uncut Playlist Of 2013

As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog, a big backlog of music to work through here. And while I try and offer some fractionally different recommendations away from the usual media pile-ons (Oh look, Haim etc), this Janelle Monáe album is terrific and I totally recommend having a listen on The Guardian’s stream: very much in the zone of “The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill” (especially “Victory”).

As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog, a big backlog of music to work through here.

Elsewhere, those of you who’ve been worried about some kind of Black Keys-style streamlining of White Denim can relax: “Corsicana Lemonade” has plenty of the progressive garage-choogle, or whatever, as requested. Also sounding especially good on first listen: the new Cian Nugent and Chris Forsyth full band sets; Carlton Melton’s “Always Even”; and a business-as-usual outtake from the last Date Palms album. More as I get it/listen to it a second/third/fourth/etc time…
