New (and somewhat less new) music for Mid-May.

Thanks to anyone who may have enjoyed listening to the first mix from J-R-M’s sister blog, Oranges & Apples. Here’s a brand new selection of music.

So many excellent new songs/reissues since the last mix, it’s high time for a new one.

I was lucky enough to conduct folk legend Vashti Bunyan’s first interview in several years. We talked about her memories of Nick Drake and the possibility of new music, amongst other things. Here are a few highlights:

On Nick Drake: 

“He seemed like a mysterious, black-clad and unknowable figure to me – a beautiful boy — almost unreal.”

“Nick was a genius and I’m sure knew it – and that must have caused so much of his pain.”

Regarding the creation of Just Another Diamond Day:

“I was a very solitary musician and sought no others out.”

Head over to the London site The Line of Best Fit to read the rest.

This is just a mix of nice songs from the last month or two. Mostly psych-pop, lo-fi and jangly stuff. ^That is just a picture of a man in a cave.
