Today I’ve had one of those great feelings when a new piece of music hits you for six and the excitement races through you at discovering something wonderful

Getting ready this morning for work I caught the end of a song which caught my attention at a time of the day when nothing ever does…digital radio station scrolled across…. Billie Holiday by Warpaint… never heard anything by them but this track had me transfixed

Proper investigation this evening led me to this Rough Trade Session, and it is simply stunning, a beautiful track which everytime hits me, speechless, gentle and sublime…

And there was more, more perfect songs by this fantastic new band, and so beautifully filmed by Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth (they performed Silent Sound, soundtracked by Jason Pierce, the world all falling into place…), in particularly the facial expressions and looks captured on Composure are beautiful, simply filmed but effective

On the a hot October day, the window is wide open the records are spinning and I put this all vinyl mix together for the city shoppers to enjoy… whether they did who knows!!
