29/13 - Kinda Like the Loose End At the End of the Night

Busy week. Belated list. Rounded up some stuff that hadn't made it onto the last few lists and ended up with some remarkable transitions, if I may say so:
 

John Martyn - May You Never

When noone else is around, I let music take care of me. Pat me on the head and say 'there, there'. After a day of concrete-casting, the gentle blessings of John Martyn cradled and reassured me.

Iron & Wine - Low Light Buddy of Mine

Got a little bit of money in my pocket for once. Couldn't help but indulge in some new CDs. Ghost on Ghost delivers exactly what I expected from it. I love his forays into jazzy arrangements.

Andre Tanker - Living for Lena

Get a grip Lena! Can't you hear how bad you're treating Andre? Bad, bad, bad!

Tanya Tagaq - Surge

The Kills - No Wow
