I can't stop playing the new Lemon Twigs record, it's brilliant. I've never been that bothered by them until now either. Think I'll go see them next week.
Are you off to Wide Awake? Or know anyone that needs a ticket?
I'm going with our lass like but haven't sorted tickets yet. I was planning on waiting until later in the week, the resale prices are dropping a lot already. You trying to shift one?
I’ve got one listed on Dice; it’s an early bird one but can’t remember how much it was. How much are they going for?
I’m at Pulp in Bridlington on the Friday but may go later on if it doesn’t sell/I can be arsed
Let know before you buy one
Saw a few going for 30 quid today. Average seems to be around 40. Oddly seems to have jumped up a bit this evening but I can't see many of them selling. There's a code kicking around for 50% off tickets bought direct from Wide Awake which would come in cheaper.

Think mine was 36 or something. I’ll let you know in a couple of days my plans, if it doesn’t go and I’m not going you may as well have for nowt rather than it go to waste

Erm, not sure. Up there with hooton tennis club as another band name I’m thinking is a bit of a mouthful. Tunes are ok though.
There are new albums tomorrow from AJJ, Arlo Parks, Clark, Gia Margaret, Incendiary, Kevin Morby (some sort of add on to the last album, I think), Lil Durk, Matchbox 20, Sparks, The Dirty Nil, Water From Your Eyes, Pere Ubu, Kassa Overall, Daniel Blumberg, Kassi Valazza and Jim Ghedi & Toby Hay.

AJJ is the main one tomorrow for me, although I’ve not been overly impressed by the 2 singles.
No worries! Their support team are usually quite good if you contact them.
I'm holding off for another day before pressing purchase on those half price tickets. Tight as owt.

Are the lemon twigs any good live does anyone know?
Any luck with that mate? I'm going to sort tickets today, best option looks to be going direct.
Enjoy Pulp later on! I see they've just announced another couple of days in July at the Apollo.
No worries at all! The key is to ensure you don't overdo it tonight.

I saw them a few years back at Green Man and very much enjoyed them.
Not a week that's high on quantity but one that's pretty high on quality. My usual weekly review:
Kevin Morby: a spin off/extension of his last album, this is high quality stuff once more. There are strings and things added in. Morbo's in space!
Arlo Parks: had this been her debut, I'd say it was promising but, as her debut was excellent, I'd say it's a slightly disappointing follow up. It's decent just nowhere near as good.
Kassa Overall: jazz drummer brings in guests from the jazz and hip-hop worlds to make an album combining the genres. It's good.
Daniel Blumberg: deep, dark and troubled. Also somewhat quiet and at 31 minutes, quite brief. Blumberg follows his idiosyncratic path. Not an album for parties but very good.
Shirley Collins: the third album since her comeback sees the now 83 year old Collins on excellent form. English folk basically, really well played and sung. The closing spoken word title track is spellbinding.
Clark: electronica, executive-produced (whatever that means) by Thom Yorke, who also provides guest vocals on a track. Clark has been doing this for ages and is consistently very good.
Jim Ghedi & Toby Hay: duelling folk guitars. Their second album together. Really good.
Sparks: you know what you're getting with Sparks: fun, dramatic, OTT, witty, clever pop. This doesn't change anything and is really good.
Kassi Valazza: her second album. She's been getting a good amount of favourable press, deservedly as it turns out. This is excellent, countryish and a bit psychedelic with quality songs.
AJJ: enjoyable, inventive, punky alt-pop is what I'm calling it.
Album of the week: Kassi Valazza holds off Morbo, Shirley Collins and Clark.
