Roped Kristen into working on this one with me, so it was a real treat to put together. That Sapphire's great and her work is great didn't hurt either! Check out our interview with Sapphire Goss over at @thequietus.com!

Wrote a little bit about the new Magic Tuber Stringband LP, which I think cements their place among the very best bands in the States, no question. It's album of the week over at @thequietus.com!

"I wasn’t interested in looking at the American records, because that’s been well-covered in the Harry Smith world. The phrase popped into my head, ‘The Anthology Of UnAmerican Folk Music’ – I felt like his ghost was in the room or something" Guest Playlist: Marisa Anderson buff.ly/9048lW9

Over the years, my reaction has transitioned from dread to comfort each time I see my haematologist, who never fails to remind me: “Less than 7% of people survive what you did... but you’re living your second life!” Kristen Gallerneaux on Surviving Near Death buff.ly/9GSYzf3

Made a lot of Shadowrun references while writing about Ben Vince's steamy new LP. Check it out over at @thequietus.com!

'One of our great sax collaborators along with Chris Duffin, Bendik Giske and Jack Wyllie - here, he pivots away from the airier, more overtly ‘experimental’ compositions of his previous LP in favour of a humid, dubwise, beachfront earthiness.' Ben Vince - Street Druid buff.ly/PsV7E8Z
