Coming back at you, with quite of lot of folk made by men called Joshua...

Dead Sheeran - this EP came out back in June. Imagine Sleaford Mods moved to the west country.
Joshua Burnside - folk with a vague (very vague) touch of punk. Quite impressive!
Sally Anne Morgan - more folk, not Joshua. Quite a trad folk album, pretty good.
Delta Spirit - indie-rock/Americana veterans, pretty good but not inspiring. Sounds a bit like My Morning Jacket.
Elizabeth Cook - country, very good.
The Flaming Lips - pretty good, a bit of a step back to their past. Got a right pasting in The Observer yesterday.
Everything Everything - well, I like it. Doesn't deviate from their previous album, which I also like.
Sam Prekop - instrumental post-rock. Quite enjoyable!
Joshua Burnell - folk by a Joshua. Quite theatrical at times, some of it reminds me of Bellowhead.
Brona McVittie - spectral folk type stuff. A little bit Newsom, Very good!!
Doves - it's washed over me a bit so far TBH.
Mammal Hands - jazz, the good kind!

Album of the week is probably Brona McVittie.

Dead Sheeran. :lol:
 
Keep meaning to give it a listen. 1989 is one of my favourite albums of recent years. Modern day pop doesnt really get much better than that.
I’ve never had any interest in Taylor Swift whatsoever, I only tried this one because of the write ups it was getting from the music press. It’s fantastic IMO.

I might check out Joshua Burnside, I love a bit of punky folk.

Not been that enamoured by Doves either so far (although I was never a massive fan first time around); Marilyn Manson is Manson-by-numbers; and Matt Costa is good and better than his last one but he’ll never get close to the summery pop-perfection of his debut (15 years on and it still gets a regular listen through the summer months).

Flaming Lips is next on my list, followed by a couple from your list.

Not sure if it's cool or not now to like stuff deemed uncool these days but that Swift record? Nah man.
The only weirder thing would be if I suddenly got into Hip-Hop!!!!

Unlikely. Most of that, truth be told, is shite.

Mansons is only Manson by numbers if you go back to the late 90s. One of the singles is pretty close to the knuckle of a Bowie song.

New Gizzard single has just dropped (video only on YouTube at the moment). It has Ambrose on lead vocal and is a bit like a mashup of Microtonal Banana and Paper Mache Dream Balloon.
 
Surprise new 4-tk EP, 2020 Dump, by Jeff Rosenstock today - not listened yet but shall do later (Laura Stevenson is also on 3 of the 4, I think)

Did anyone give the new Maximo Park a listen yesterday? I did not. Saw “mildly psychedelic” as a description...
