PLAYLIST 09.05.08

The Martha Wainwright album is eccentric all the way. Suicide and obsessive love, absent friends and infidelities. But that's not to say that it's all good, and her cover of 'See Emily Play' lacks the saucer-eyed vision of the Syd Barrett version. The new Costello album is all speen, barking directions and the wonderful focus of Steve Nieve and Pete Thomas. Bonus marks for including Jenny Lewis on backing vocals.
