Been nice to listen to outtakes and rarities from John Lennon on the Imagine boxset and The Alternative Walls And Bridges. Now Giles Martin, son of Beatles' producer, the late, great George Martin, gives us a 6-CD boxset of The White Album by The Beatles, which is amazing to hear! (Especially the 3rd Disc, The Esher Demos, early acoustic versions of songs from The White Album.)
Some New Albums and Singles Of Note:
J Mascis Elastic Days - Dinosaur Jr rocker's strong new album
Conor Oberst "No One Changes"/"The Rockaways" - Two new songs from Conor; return to form
Parquet Courts "We R In Control" (Neil Young cover) - Amazon Original. Awesome song from the underrated Trans.
Marianne Faithful Negative Capability - Have always loved her version of "As Tears Go By" and her album Broken English. She was a delight to host at Central Park SummerStage as well. This new album is her as Lioness in Winter. Well-worth a listen.
Sun Kil Moon This Is My Dinner - Mark Kozelek must be in some kind of competition with Ty Segall to release as many albums and side-projects in as short a time as possible. Sometimes more Mark is actually less, but this album is better than most.
Ty Segall Fudge Sandwich - He's the best and he's on a roll lately. I loved the recent Freedom's Goblin and Joy. This new album of covers is cool too.
