I've got various exciting gigs and other things to report back to you about, but whilst I'm finding time to write about them, I'm going to try and attempt another review-every-day week. Ok, GO!

Love as Laughter – Laughter’s Fifth (Sub-Pop)

Been meaning to give these guys a good listen for a while. Thought I’d take a chance of this album (their fifth presumably) thanks to the awesome artwork and a cover of the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band’s ‘I Won’t Hurt You’. (Friends of the WCPAEB = friends of mine!) I’m sure glad I did - this sounds like a lost mid-‘70s Neil Young & Crazy Horse session where they hung out on the porch after a few beers and spliffs and decided to reconnect with their ‘60s garage-pop roots via some sweet, laidback, groovy rock n’ roll. Hang on, you’re thinking; a 21st century band who sound like a ‘70s band trying to sound like a ‘60s band? Yeah, I know, I probably couldn’t find anything less ‘important’ or revolutionary if I tried, but fuck it, I know I’m gonna play this loads.
