Playlist 298 - Feb 11 2014

I watched the Big Star doc Nothing Can Hurt Me over the w'end (a fascinating social history of the time and place - Memphis - as well as a rockumentary) so it felt only right to open the show with one of their classics from #1 Record. As it happens, The New Mendicants' album is just out too, bearing more than a little of the Big Star influence, which is welcome anytime.

windings are back with their side of the split with Land Lovers, more quality, and Laurie Shaw, who I know very little about except that he makes great garage pop tunes, and loads of them. Check him on Soundcloud for more.

Other tasty new releases from Future Islands (that voice, those basslines), Eyedress, Trans (Bernard Butler's new band) & Milagres. A beautiful EP by Patrick Freeman, a wonderful album by Damien Jurado.

And a couple of archive classics/lost treasures from Stereolab and Bruce Haack (pic). Program me is right.

More on these pages as always.
