Just working my way through a batch of seven-inches from Jack White’s Third Man label, as I write; really liking the Dex Romweber Duo one so far. Plenty more good stuff this week, including long-awaited new ones from Lightning Bolt, Broadcast and Rickie Lee Jones.
A quick note about Beak>, too, which is a project involving Portishead’s Geoff Barrow. I’ll try and write more about that one, and about the Flaming Lips’ “Embryonic”, in the next day or two.
