6. Thundercat – “It Is What It Is”
A freak!! Obviously some sorta prodigy.. jumps from brilliant hard funk to bubble gum just like that! Soooooooo good.
7. Lemon Twigs – “Songs For The General Public”
How cool it is that "cheesy pop" is still out there (people who slag it off do so cause they just can't do it)? Great tunes throughout this album.. at times sounding like Supertamp <3
8. Pig Destroyer – “Octogonal Stairway”
Bullshit good and bullshit punishing.
9.. Seeing Charlotte and the Harlots live twice in a row.
Can't wait to hear whatever they record .. they look about 16-years-old yet play a type of "proto punk slash glam" that my old man’s ears love.
10. Just some quick mentions of some killer reissues.
Always great stuff to rediscover (man all the Lee Perry stuff that came out this year <3) And the first Slugfuckers album, “Transformational Salt” .. a fave as a youngster. Someone in the US reissued it and it sounds pretty fat.. and the mighty ‘60s punkers We The People have had a 7" release of the tracks “In The Past” and “You Burn Me Up And Down” on Oktay Records…my god…whooooosh. Both tracks are dynamite but “In The Past” never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Life changing and affirming.
Peter Black's two lastest solo albums are out now and a new Nunchukka Superfly record is imminent.
