The Magnetic North albums are lovely, especially the one about Skelmersdale.

Here’s another favourite. It’s worth letting it unfold over the full 8 or so minutes. And play loud.

This one is my favourite. Friendly Fires – Paris (Aeroplane Mix)
Their remix of William’s Blood by Grace Jones is brilliant too.

I did wonder whether I should include both Sault albums but in the end decided that they were both amongst my favourite twenty of the year and I shouldn’t over-think it. But I think you’re right, though I am […]

It’s been mentioned here before I think, but I saw him perform American Tune on the Thursday after Trump won the US Election in 2016. One of the most powerful performances I have ever seen. And that verse summed it all up.

Some very fine selections indeed. Especially the Bruce, Emmylou and Aphex Twin – now there’s a sentence you don’t see often.
Is that where i should start with Susumu Yokota? -

That Childish Gambino is an excellent album. Wish I’d had it for my 12 (below) now…..

Paul Hewston commented on the post, 12 Albums For 12 Weeks Confinement 1 year ago
I think my dirty dozen has to be:
Stereolab – Dots and Loops. Otherworldly tunes for otherworldly times.
Beastie Boys – Check Your Head. Fuzzy noise and shouting – there will be plenty of that in this […] -

No surely Lindstrom is better? Another Station is a great tune. And There’s a Drink in my Bedroom and I Need a Hot Lady is a great title.

Thanks very much. Inspired me to listen to In The Heart Of The Moon for the first time in more than a decade. It’s hit exactly the right spot. Hurricane Dub next. I’ll have a think about my twelve.

As it’s nearly the end of the year, how about a handy place to keep links to various end of year charts? Here’s the chart from the lovely people at Piccadilly Records to set us on our way.

Have you seen/heard this version of 8 Ball? It’s glorious.

I agree about Cigarettes After Sex – the worst name I’ve ever heard for a band. And so at odds with the lovely noise they make. They have to change it surely?

It does look well balanced, but England are really suffering from the lack of a quality spinner aren’t they? Once the ball is bit old Moeen just isn’t good enough to hold an end so the seamers can rotate at the […]

They did well. Need to score another 150ish to put Australia under any real pressure I think, though their batting doesn’t look significantly more robust than ours. But the lack of pace in our attack might mean […]

I agree about Mary – one of the loveliest songs of the year. How about this – Another World by Miranda Lee Richards.
