Here is a chunky playlist mostly made last year again but slowly catching up.
Featuring new: Plains, U.S. Girls, Naima Bock, Shygirl, Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, Weyes Blood, Mary Lattimore, Kelela, Ice Spice, First Aid Kit, Lisa O'Neill and some men.
Featuring old: Van Morrison, Hot Chip, Dorothy Ashby, Pharaoah Sanders, David McCallum, Minnie Riperton, Arthur Russell, Jimmy Scott, Bob Dylan, Captain Beefhart, Lulu and more.
Since last words, I have seen John Cale at The Palladium, Caroline Polachek, Young Fathers, Melody's Echo Chamber, Wet Leg at the Royal Albert Hall, Alex G, Lankum, Channel Tres, Mozart Estate, The Hidden Cameras with Owen Pallett, Georgia, Anna Calvi doing Aladdine Sane (weird event), Bill Ryder-Jones, Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, La Priest, Richard Dawson, Minor Conflict, Sorry, ESG, Mdou Moctar and Shirley Collins. In particular Young Fathers were incredible but Lankum definitely best show I've seen this year, even seen them again since! I'm now very glad the gigs will calm down a bit though!
Other activities: spent May Day in Padstow following Obby Osses around, went to my first Banya (Russian spa) but sadly did not get hit by branches, slept overnight in a church (champing), celebrated Sammy's 40th in Vienna, Valencia (for Las Fallas) and Rowans bowling alley and saw 2:22 which was good fun.
