Today, the Uncut Music Award judges ruminate on the power of Josh T Pearson's debut solo album, "Last Of The Country Gentlemen".

In certain circles, it remains sacreligious to criticise Brian Eno. No matter how many awful records he’s involved with, his reputation seems undiminished; never mind the music, we’re advised, feel the ideas.

The latest transcript from the judges' meeting, as our panel get to grips with the second Bon Iver album.

Today the Uncut Music Award judges discuss the album that turned out to be their winner; PJ Harvey's "Let England Shake".

In today's transcript, the judges debate the second album by former Uncut Music Award winners, Fleet Foxes.

If you’re following on Twitter @JohnRMulvey, you’ve probably already got wind of a few of these, but the 2012 albums are really rolling in…

As promised, today we're starting to publish the judges' deliberations on each of this year's eight shortlisted albums for the Uncut Music Award. Beginning today with Bill Callahan's "Apocalypse".

A mixed bag today, as I contemplate giving up and playing a bunch of old Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings records in preparation for tonight’s Hammersmith gig.

I’m not sure what happens on Saturday towards the end of the first night of Bob Dylan’s three shows at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. Suddenly, though, he’s blazing through one of the songs he traditionally reserves for encores, “All Along The Watchtower”, with no break between it and the roaring version of “Ballad Of A Thin Man” that normally you’d have expected to be the show’s climax, the band then taking a well-deserved bow and a quick break before coming back for one, two or three more songs, further lapping up of the crowd’s applause prior to a final wave goodnight, perhaps even a nod from Bob in the general direction of a crowd he otherwise doesn’t go too far out of his way to acknowledge.

Really taken with the Suzanne Ciani album this week. Lindstrøm only arrived today, so I need to listen properly.
