I’ve been catching up with my podcasts, such as the wonder Morning Becomes Eclectic from KCRW to discover that Joseph Arthur has a new album out – which can be downloaded directly from his website (here) and only asks for a Donation!!!!  Nice to see some brave thinking.  I’ve made an initial donation and downloaded the album, if the album is good then we’ll donate some more.

In addition to this, Joseph also released Nuclear Daydream which has been very quietly been released – I don’t think I’ve seen any reviews for it in the UK press, including the likes of Uncut, which is a shame, as I’ve been listening to a copy on and off since I found out about its release earlier in the year. Perhaps not as stunning as Our Shadows Will Remain, but still a worthy purchase (despite beingh an import).
