The 23rd Uncut Playlist Of 2012

A short week after all the jubilee bullshit, but a pretty hefty postbag these past two days, and some notable downloads, too, as you’ll see from this list.

Please make sure you follow the link to that new Grizzly bear, if you have a chance, and maybe also check out “Baby”, the first track from the new Ariel Pink album, streaming at www.4ad.com.

Possibly venturing up to the No Direction Home festival in North Nottinghamshire this weekend. Maybe I’ll see one or two of you there?
