Dolly’s first UK branch of her Imagination Library was in Rotherham, just a few miles away from my home town. I still regularly buy books for my kids in second hand stores with “Provided By Dolly Parton’S IL” sticker on the back. These things stay in rotation. Real legacy.

The lineup reads like a #jazz who's who: Gil Evans, Wayne Shorter, Gary Peacock, Kenny Burrell, Elvin Jones, Eric Dolphy, Ron Carter, Paul Chambers, & others. One of Gil Evans' best, & sits right alongside Sketches of Spain & Miles Ahead. #NowPlaying
Great new issue of @mojomagazine.bsky.social I’m in it writing about Steve Reich and reviewing some records but my favourite thing was discovering that @victoriasegal.bsky.social and I have the same interpretation of Rubber Soul’s opening brace of tracks. Love writing for this mag.
The last Beatles song left in the vaults? The new @mojomagazine.bsky.social goes deeper than ever on Rubber Soul and its brand new manifestation. Plus a CD of Beatles soul, and 102 more pages of premium non-Fabs content. Order one: www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-october... Read more: 1/2
Never quite understood why the last couple of Sam Burton albums haven't had more love. Hope this new one gets it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5Sh...

“The songs sound as if I might have been writing them for ‘Whispering’ Jack Smith or Al Bowlly – not some odd-looking eejit in horn rims!” Elvis Costello exclusively talks MOJO through new 5-disc My Aim Is True box set featuring over 50 never-before-heard songs, due out October on Ume...

A great find from my Finland holiday: the saxophonist/electronicist Heli Hartikainen. Imagine Colin Stetson recording for ECM, remixed by Tim Hecker, and you’re roughly in the right ballpark. They're excellent live, too. helihartikainenmusic.bandcamp.com/album/interb...

The sort of people praising journalists for "saying the unsayable", and for opinion as provocation, do not make me any less embarrassed by a lot of the criticism I wrote in the 1990s.
Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.
Incredible book. Starts off like another novel about middle-aged techno-insecurity and then swiftly goes somewhere much more profound.
Psyched to find out more about the power of Bill Orcutt, Gwenifer Raymond and Billy Woods' online marketing empires.
A lot of records to catch up with after a fortnight away, but this new Jake Xerxes Fussell is one I'm coming back to again and again. Rock Island Line reimagined, like a dream. jakexerxesfussell.bandcamp.com/track/rock-i...
