Playlist 23.05.08

The current single from The Hold Steady is energetic, all-pummeling and it makes you smile. The new Zutons album is the closest that this generation will get to Slade. I've been a great admirer of the Watson Twins since they made that lovely Jenny Lewis album a few years ago, but their own album is a little tame. The Jape record has plenty to recommend it, including a fond tribute to Phil Lynott, which sadly, I didn't have time to play on Friday.
