SPRINGCOMPIL 2011
Yes it was about time! & this time in a different format, the YouTube playlist. I think it’s the future (for now). All you have to know is there’s more to it than “A View to a Kill”: click on the right-hand arrow for all 16 beauties I’ve picked out for you this quarter. A selection inevitably influenced by my chancy trip to the US in March: but also by the returns of Friendly Fires (celebrated by an amazing ‘89 rave gurning mashup video), Fleet Foxes, Wild Beasts & the Beastie Boys; the sheer genius of Metronomy; incredible The xx spinoffs Creep, Salem and Jamie xx’s Adele remix; and some beautiful blasts from my British past (Pet Shop Boys, Bananarama, Human League) to name just a few. Enjoy, mo’fos!
