Highway somnambulism

It's a pity the EP released last year was WAY better than this album (and they know it, evidenced by the inclusion of a track from the EP here)

Future of the Left - Sheena is a t-shirt salesman (2012)

White lung - Thick lip (live) (2012) (http://whitelung.bandcamp.com/)

Friends - Mind control (2012)

Kool Keith ft. The I.M.O. - Extra thoughts (2012)

Stanley Odd - Get out ma headspace (2012) (http://stanleyodd.bandcamp.com)

Fuck Bono. This is the real deal. You simply have to watch this documentary.

The ambassador (Mads Brügger, 2011)

Careful with that Radium Marie, or you'll turn into a laughing cow

I have been quite averse to the talk about how contemporary popular music is dead and that nothing of quality has seen the light of day recently. However, 2012 - so far - proves to be insanely abysmal and criminally frustrating (most of this post is gonna be oldies). As a rough quantitative index, 6 months into the year, and I have only 5.5 albums to the year's end list, only one of which is truly memorable. This situation, most hopefully - will be remedied once the new Piano magic is out next month. If ever there were someone who can step up to the plate and save the day, Glen Johnson is the guy. P-L-E-A-S-E salvage this horrendous year...

Piano magic - The slightest of threads (2012)

Gold & youth - Time to kill (2012)

Woodkid - Run boy run (2012)

Keaton Henson - Small hands (2011)

Cerrone - Supernature (1977)

Principal Edwards' magic theatre - McAlpine's dream (from: The Asmoto running band, Dandelion 1971)

The thing for me are a true seal of quality, and by throwing into the mix the first solo appearance by Neneh Cherry in 16 years, then you have a bunker.
