Playlist 346 - Mar 3 2015

We started this week with a couple of novelty/comic records, of sorts. From the Coen Brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis, Oscar Isaac, Justin Timberlake & Adam Driver do a fantastic job of evoking the spirit of the 60s, hilariously. (p-p-please...) And from the wonderful Trunk archives, Rod McKuen from 1959 with some coffee house jazz beat poetry - waitresses in bandanas, big men with paper bag lunches, it's brilliant stuff.

New Polar Bear, how prolific are they, more great grooves with saxophones. And Aloa Input sounding like early Beck a little.

Beck himself plays Cork at The Marquee in June, that's him channelling JC Vannier/Serge Gainsbourg. And José Gonzalez channelling handclaps and drones to great effect.

A golden oldie from The Czars, John Grant's former band; Death & Vanilla with a lovely take on brooding psych pop; This is the Kit new single, another wonderful undulating groove.

And Marker Starling who I will never tire of, taking a cold hard look at husbands.

More on these pages as always.
