Bought the latest Tracey Thorn called "Love and it's Opposite". I's a grower. Subtle and pensive. Was listening to her about 25 years ago when she was in The MArine Girls.


Completely from left field, got a compilation called "Songs for Dad" from my two little ones on Father's Day. Thought it was a touching gesture that would quickly be gathering dust - but this starts with "Come FLy with Me2 by Sinatra, ends with Johnnie Ray's "Just Walking in the Rain" and in between sweeps through a load of gems from the 50s, including "Good Rocking Daddy" by Etta James. Cool.

Micah P Hinson's new one. A change of direction, much richer arrangements and a bit cheerier if I'm not mistaken.

Very good.


Also got She & Him - Volume 2, Zooey Deschanel's musical project, this time with M Ward. Sort of Gainsbourg & Birkin after hanging around with Johnny Cash for too long.


Have read a couple of good reviews of the Tracy Thorn album, might give it a quick spotify and see if I like it.

Jeff Beck's new album Emotion And Commotion and quite a bit of old reggae at the moment. Always the same with me when the sun comes out. So it's been Lee "Scratch" Perry's Arkology boxset, a singles compilation from Doctor Alimantado, King Tubby's Meet The Rockers Uptown and Eek-A-Mouse's first album Wa-Do-Dem.

    • The journalist Kate Wills @katewills stole the closing "jazz [jizz] and [spit] roast" gag from David Peckham. If the Telegraph's geriatric readers got the joke they'd choke on their kippers. As someone who walks right past Belair House at weird hours (because I am weird), the sex parties are a lot less bothersome than other events Belair House puts on: for example, the club nights when the promoters illegally block parking on Gallery Rd in front of Belair House, when bouncers are posted on the front gates blocking access to a public park, and when the pavement and verges are strewn with flyers and booze bottles. Ms Waterhouse and Heaven Circle: you're welcome back any time. There's a bunch of antisocial fuckers plagueing Belair House - but it's not the sex parties...
