LCD Soundsystem – North American Scum.
The record I put on when I bring someone home is…
Ron Sexsmith – Secret Heart.
The most surprising record in my collection is…
Well there are lots of surprising things, but the thing that's constantly surprising me today is the works of Moondog – a New York-based artist who composed with saxophones, bottles and found objects.
The last thing I bought/downloaded was…
an album by Rachel Unthank and The Winterset [Last]. Beautiful, strange folk/experimental stuff from Northumberland.
