Sorry for the silence lately – it’s been a weird few days, and I’ve basically been swimming underwater mentally. Not quite right even now, so this will be a super-succinct Monday Music:
The Weeknd - Lonely Star (mp3)
At first it underwhelmed me, but the break-out R’n'B star’s second free-download album is beginning to work for me.
Mariachi El Bronx – 48 Roses (mp3)
Huey played this on 6 Music yesterday and it had me doing my best gypsy waltz inside ten seconds.
Coolrunnings – Fool Moon (mp3)
Smile.
Real Estate – Suburban Dogs (mp3)
Starring lonesome guitars that sound like raindrops on a tin roof.
Vacationer – Gone (mp3)
I’m leaving West Hampstead tomorrow, after a miserable six months in which much has gone wrong and a girl has left me seriously unhappy. It feels like a new start, and it’s going to be good to be gone.
