Hey, here are my 154 favourite albums of 2014. As usual, I haven't aimed for a fixed number; just listed everything, in a loose order, that I've enjoyed these past 12 months.
There is a song on "Aerial", Kate Bush's eighth and possibly best album, called "Bertie". "Here comes the sunshine," it begins, "Here comes that son of mine/Here comes the everything/Here's a song and a song for him." Nine years later, here, perhaps is a show for him: an unexpected comeback; a ravishing absurdity; a launchpad for his theatrical aspirations. Our pleasure may, to some degree, be collateral.
Morrissey has announced details of his new studio album.
A post on the quasi-official fansite, True To You, reveals the album will be called World Peace Is None of Your Business.
The post continues by saying that a release date has been provisionally set for late June/early July worldwide by Harvest Records thru Capitol. Morrissey is said to be "beyond ecstatic" with the album, all 12 tracks of which were produced by Joe Chiccarelli in France.
