Interesting bit of heat around the blog last week about Neil Young’s “Le Noise”, where as a result of expressing mild scepticism about Daniel Lanois’ production schtick, I learned that, “Such a lack of musical knowledge and understanding art is unforgivable.”
Pushing foolhardily on, here’s this week’s playlist. A strong return from Third Eye Foundation amidst this lot, and the presence of the Black Twig Pickers as a reminder that they’re in the UK around now. Try and see them if you can. This Bjørn Torske record I’ve just put on sounds pretty cool, too.
