Mild frenzy at Uncut today as we put the finishing touches to our end-of-year issue. As a consequence, I’ve not had a chance to do the full blog, but here’s the music we’ve played in the office. Favourites?
“Bummed”, which has aged much better than the simultaneously reissued “Pills ‘N’ Thrills & Bellyaches”, and the compelling return to form of Aidan Moffat from Arab Strap. I’ll get round to doing a full write-up on this one in the next day or two, in theory.
