Mix #18

This has ended up been really long. 

Mix # 18

Returns from Neil Young, Chromatics, Iggy (not sure about all the songs mind), Sheer Mag, Richard Dawson, Girl Ray, Angel Olsen (this one is particularly brilliant), Grimes ("and I like it like that"), Anna Meredith, LDR and Holly Herndon. 

Oldies from Frank Ocean, Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Broadcast, Slint, Roy Orbison, The Cramps, VU and Delta 5. 

Elsewhere, I've been slow to the Nao album, but this song is so good, Koffee, Squid, Robert Wyatt - sidenote check this cover from Squid, Haruomi Hosano, Pavement's cover of Bunnymen, Mort Garson, Silver Jews (I've heard two covers of "Trains Across The Sea" in the last month, rest in power DCB) and have been mildly obsessed with "Baby" by Donnie & Joe Emerson this summer gone.

Summer is most definitely gone. I spent the ends of it camping in 30mph winds in Dorset, sleeping in an English Heritage site overnight without a tent (aka my first microadventure), bowling around End of the Road festival, clubbing in Berlin and scoping out Millennium Mills as part of Open House London. 

I also went here and nearly threw up, but I think that's the appropriate reaction. That article linked is a good and interesting read. 

The photo above reminds me of Guy Bourdin, would like to visit this festival.
