No point in messing about this week: scroll down to hear new music from, among others, Neil Young, Cool Ghouls, Bryan Ferry, Frazey Ford, Kendrick Lamar, Joan Shelley and the extremely promising D.D. Dumbo, plus a couple of amazing full gigs from Hiss Golden Messenger and a Purling Hiss/Spacin’ supersession, both courtesy of the invaluable www.nyctaper.com.
And also stick with the Beatles art experiment by Rutherford Chang: 100 old copies of “The White Album” is quite something, gradually, especially if you’ve a taste for stuff like MBV and Fennesz…
