Apologies for the radio silence these past couple of weeks – I’ve been on holiday a long way from the CD mountain, catching up on some well-earned silence. Thanks for all your correspondence in the meantime, not least the kind words about my “Seeing For Miles” comp, and the Brazilian contributions to the Os Mutantes piece.
Getting back to work, it hardly seems surprising that there’s another Neil Young album on the way which isn’t “Toast”. Some talk of The Beatles, too. But here’s what I’ve managed to play over the past couple of days. Maybe I’ll give that Speech Debelle album another go a bit later, though I can’t say I’m keen…
