This track is exceptional. One for brother Joseph!

Welcome back, Doves
I didn’t think that I’d see another Doves album. This is a bit of a gift. And what a gift. Ok, so it’s hardly going against the grain, but then if you’re good at doing something, what’s wrong with playing to that strength? Perhaps it isn’t all about experimentation for experimentation’s sake.
And while their early albums were superb, there’s something to love about gruff Jimi Goodwin. Plus, my god, the guitar playing on this album is AMAZING. The videos aren’t bad either. Guitars, remember them?
Janelle Monáe – Turntables
We don’t give enough props to Janelle Monae on here. We should. Her new single is pretty solid.
Nas – Ultra Black
Still an absolute king.
All hail Róisín
There’s a new Roisín Murphy album out, we may have talked about it. Róisín Machine was out last week and while there’s been a good few tracks trailed (and we’ve been playing them ever since) there’s always a slew of incredible remixes around too, none finer than the mighty Soulwax. If it were my month, this would be my album of the month. But Sufjan is probably getting second fiddle with me anyway (sorry Sufjan). It’s gonna take a mighty musical event to upstage Ms Murphy ♥️
Sa-Roc – r(E)volution
Sa-Roc released her fantastic ‘Sharecropper’s Daughter’ yesterday. Worth taking some time and getting stuck into.
Troy Kingi – All Your Ships Have Sailed
This is a bit of me today. It’s hard not to love this.
Public Enemy
This is what I’ve wanted. This is literally what I’ve been waiting for. Public Enemy, re-signed to Def Jam and angry. I grew up on Public Enemy, from age 11 they’ve been part of my life, particularly the first decade of their output (I kind of got lost after that). My lens on American politics was massively influenced by Chuck D. Therefore, I’ve been crying out for his thoughts for at least the last 4 years … and here we have them;
Go, go, go, just go
Go, go, go (we have)
Whatever it takes, rid this dictator
POTUS my tail, Ass debater
Prime-time Preemo, rhyme-time crime
Like no other in this lifetime
White house killer, dead in lifelines
Vote this joke out, or die tryin’
Unprecedented, demented, many president’d
Nazi Gestapo dictator defended
It’s not what you think, it’s what you follow
Run for them jewels, drink from that bottle
Another four years gonna gut y’all hollow
Gutted out, dried up, broke and can’t borrow
State of the Union, shut the fuck up
Sorry ass motherfucker
Stay away from me
Stay away from meMister, I am the law and you are not
In fact, I’m god, I got a lot
Mister these united breaks takeover come over
Orange hair, fear the comb-over
Here’s another scare, keep them hands in the air
Better not breathe, you dare not dare
Don’t say nothing, don’t think nothing
Make America great again the middle just love it
When he wanna talk, walk y’all straight to them ovens
Human beings of color, yeah we be sufferin’ (come on)
State of the Union, shut the fuck up
Sorry ass motherfucker
Stay away from me
Go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go
Better rock that vote or vote for hell
Real generals now, not some USFL
Not a fuckin’ game, I dare not mention his name
Operation 45, yeah it’s the same thing
Sounds like Berlin burnin’, same thing
History’s a mystery if y’all ain’t learning
End this clown show, for real a state bozo
Nazi cult 45 Gestapo
State of the Union, shut the fuck up
Sorry ass motherfucker
Stay away from me

The Avalanches – Music Makes Me High
For the few days of late summer we’ve had over the last week, this song has been on repeat. Since starting to release music after a very long hiatus between their first and second albums, The Avalanches have been releasing some gems!
