June was full of varied, fine listening, as will be July:
- At last Steve Kilbey’s Painkiller is on the way
- My very first Smog/Bill Callahan, the wonderfully titled Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle
- Dirty guitar work from The Horrors – Primary Colours
- Deaths & Entrances, Frames-like rock from My Latest Novel
- Just arrived, Yonder Is the Clock by The Felice Brothers
- The arty, eclectic Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
- More art-rock, even stranger I’m sure, Bitte Orca by The Dirty Projectors
- E looks like a ZZ Top outcast on the cover of The Eels’ newie, Hombre Lobo: 12 Songs of Desire
- Summer Palace, pop from Sunny Day Sets Fire
- Hopefully sounding just like Grandaddy, Jason Lytle’s Yours Truly, The Commuter
