this is why doing your own year end list is rubbish , coz if I’d heard this when it came out in 2022 it would’ve been right up there at the top of the pile ,

Docteur Nico Presents African Fiesta Sukisa 1966-1974, by Docteur Nico & African Fiesta Sukisa 37 track album

already fed up of that Christmas thing, so here’s a totally incredible recent compilation from the Congolese artist Docteur Nico & his Sukisa label that takes you somewhere else altogether. One of my fave reissue / archive things ive heard all year planetilunga.bandcamp.com/album/docteu...

Colossal Youth is perfect company this time of year but Alison Statton’s incredible post YMG project β€˜Weekend’ sounds like some melancholy foggy winter morning in the 80s, feels like the half remembered/half imagined England of my youth.

Now somewhere in the black mining hills of (Virgina)
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
One day, his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye
Rocky didn't like that
He said, "I'm gonna get that boy"
So one day, he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon
