Y'know... I've decided that I really don't know where you lot find the time to listen to so much music! This is why I find it difficult to join in the end-of-year 'Top-whatever' charts threads. i just never seem to be able to find the time, these days.

If I could get a job where I could listen to my MP3 player all the time, I'd be sorted.

I enjoyed this tune last weekend, but was hammered at the time!

Semi-amusing video. Especially the football dancer, which I presume were from the beginning of a World Cup opening ceremony or something.

The release currently picking up a lot of playing time at Furtho Towers is For Every Day You Lost by Brave Timbers, who are / is a Newcastle musician by the name of Sarah Kemp. It's an instrumental album, sitting somewhere between neo-classical and an odd kind of downtempo folk, populated minimally but completely by Kemp's violin, piano and acoustic guitar. It's warm, melancholy, autumnal and ever so slightly disturbing.

For Every Day You Lost is released on the recently-established Second Language label. There's a podcast interview with Sarah Kemp which includes specially recorded versions of a couple of tracks on the album on this page of the Second Language site.

It's lovely, that Brave Timbers album. So glad it's getting some attention. My friends in epic45 did a remix for the bonus CD you get if you buy one of the first hundred or so copies from Second Language.

She plays violin in The Declining Winter too, I believe.

I'm enjoying the new Oneohtrix Point Never album and lots of solo albums by Emeralds' Mark McGuire (he's relesased dozens). I've also been fascinated by Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Company, who were the world's first synth ensemble. Their track 'Train' sounds remarkably like OPN/Emeralds and their ilk, and everything I've heard by them compares well with the best electronic German music from the 70s. There's a compilation of their early stuff on Cuneiform.

Listened to the Salem album and thought it was rubbish. Much of it sounded like Enya with added beats from DJ No Mark.

I’ve been listening to the Very Best of Slade this week (along with some Hildegard Knef & Solomon Burke) and obviously although I’ve heard many Slade songs before, I’ve never really listened to them before. And this is an observation that’s really fifteen years old but crikey, they aren’t ‘alf like Oasis with added joy.

Sinking deeper into the Salem album now; it is absolutely brilliant, a genuinely confounding sound (and that's a very rare thing to find). There's loads going on beneath the exoskeleton you focus on at first, especially on 'Release Da Boar' (the vocal treatment even reminds me of 10cc!) 'Redlights' and 'Traxx'; it's labyrinthine like Lynch. Shame the word 'hypnogogia' got hijacked by berks, cause they're actually better at conjuring that state than even Fennesz, for my money - having that heat-heavy hip hop backbone allows them to keep the momentum up, ride on in between flourishes.

They've hit the ball out of the park, really slowly.
