The Book Of Mormon at the Leeds Grand. Haven't laughed so much in ages. Outrageous and so totally wrong it's totally right. In it's own subversive way, as divinely inspired as the ACTUAL BoM.

Iāve been immersing myself in this for the last few weeks. 30 songs, 1hr 52 min and, in sequence, flows like a mountain stream. Equal to anything in the gargantuan Wilco catalogue, profound, spatial and comforting in these dark times.

Avett Bros and Mike Patton is a collaboration from the left field but the album is nothing short of magnificent. It needs an acceptance of the Avett earnestness but itās more than redeemed by the glimpses of Faith No More absurdism

It's a very crowded field and I have no stats but this must be up there as my most played (now 80) Neil. "An exorcism of male violence with shotgun power chords rising to the challenge of punk rock." might be pushing it but few songs rival its subterranean power.

The Belair Lip Bombs ā AgainĀ review
Sometimes it's the things that aren't said that hold the biggest clues. Admittedly not everyone will be recipients of the details, but part of the press kit for The Belair Lip Bombs second album is a track by track breakdown of it, written by lead singer Maisie Everett. And so, what? you might ask. Whilst not exactly standard practice, the idea of giving up more detail about a new record when your band has so far been a largely domestic thing in native Australia makes sense.

Did Neil Young invent grunge? Itās a fair and unanswerable question. Mirror Ball (95) has just been cleaned up to devastating effect. Subtleties abound in the cacophony. Pearl Jam (minus EV) like theyāve been fed on raw meat.

The Springsteen film is heavy stuff. No real revelations for the fan but - the Frankie Teardrop sequence is brilliantly done; shades of the Last Picture Show in the flashbacks; one too many (out of two) references to Donna Summer; Jeremy Allen White's vocal performances are astonishing.
