Great start this morning, as I’ve just cracked open the new Prins Thomas album, which seems to carry on right where Lindström & Thomas’ “II” left off. In other goodish news, this long-running dickaround will finally be resolved in the next couple of days. I imagine you’ve all guessed what it is now?
A bit of a mixed bag on the list this week – an unusually large number of records I can be at best equivocal about, really. Some good things, though: if you missed it yesterday, can I especially recommend the amazing Baloji video?
