Playlist 31.10.08

Friday's playlist seemed to write itself. The Amy LaVere interview was at the core of it, while my pals at Across The Line had gifted me three imperial session tracks from Lisa Hannigan. The Ryan Adams album is better than I had reckoned - even though he throws his records out at a prodigious and erratic pace. The Shakey Hands are from Portland, Oregon and have been compared to The Shins in the past. Their new music is rather excellent.
