Quite busy here with, as you can see, a bunch of new stuff again this week: right now the new Jason Lytle album has just started up and doesn’t appear to be a huge departure from what he was up to in Grandaddy.
A few other bits of info. Jarvis Cocker‘s album seems to have been produced – genuinely – by Steve Albini. Wand is Wooden Wand/James Jackson Toth, a favourite round these parts, raiding his archives for unreleased gems. The Sonic Youth thing is a link to a mash-up of the new album posted on Newsweek’s blog. And the Super Furry Animals album rules, as I’ll try and explain tomorrow.
