A long one this week. The new Endless Boogie album is here β βVIBE KILLERβ – which has predictably been a major distraction. But please check out these new entries: Jim OβRourke and Kassel Jaegerβs hypnagogic βWakes On Ceruleanβ, if we can still use that word with a straight face; Nick Hakim; that killer Ron Gallo garage rock jam; the latest elevated jangle from The Cairo Gang; another track from Jake Xerxes Fussell; and The Magpie Salute β Rich Robinson and Marc Ford from The Black Crowes, with a small army of new accomplices – doing Delaney & Bonnie. Also my regular reminder that the Tribe Called Quest is just the greatest.
