Playlist 08.02.08

Another sweet show on Friday night. I was joined for a couple of live tracks by Matt McGinn, who has a tune out at the moment called 'Double Bed' and who's finding his voice and his style with rewarding speed.

The Vampire Weekend album is a treasure of alternative fun with hints of world music, shown through a wonky prism. It was also great value to hear a Scottish act called The Galipaygos, who clearly admire Gram Parsons, the Band and Neil Young. That also applies to local artist Ben Glover, who releases his debut album in a weeks time, and you'll hear plenty of that next Friday.
