Yeah, so, The Dirty Nil have been around for a while and run in the same circles as a bunch of bands that I like but their previous albums never clicked with me for reasons I can't put my finger on. This one though, this one's great. It was a surprise New Years Day release and I've had it most days since. They've got better riffs this time, I think. If you're into stuff like Rozwell Kid, The Menzingers and PUP then this is worth your time.
Meanwhile, Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou have put out a 4-track EP of extra songs from the sessions that led to last year's great album May Our Chambers Be Full. If you don't already know these artists, Emma Ruth Rundle makes kinda doomy folk music which is really good while Thou are a prolific sludge metal outfit who are really good and this collaboration is those two things mushed together. It works, ok. There's even a Cranberries cover at the end if that's yr bag.

Portrayal of Guilt are back baybay! We Are Always Alone is 24 minutes of pummelling blackened screamo that is sure to cheer you up ahead of the weekend.

Divide and Dissolve, Gas Lit. Drone doom. I've been waiting for this album since I saw them open for Sumac, what seems like a billion years ago. From their bandcamp: "Gas Lit is our fight for Indigenous Sovereignty, Black and Indigenous Liberation, Water, Earth, and Indigenous land given back. Gas Lit is fighting against the dispossession of our people, land, water, and spirit. Gas Lit is a call to transformation and freedom. Gas Lit seeks to make a contribution to undermining and destroying the white supremacist colonial framework."

Krallice, Demonic Wealth. Raw, weird experimental black metal that was "conceived, recorded, and executed in isolation". Best heard loud in really good headphones with the lights off. krallice.bandcamp.com/album/demonic-wealth

I try now and again, but ultimately I can take or leave Lana Del Rey. The new album is a lot tighter and shorter than her recent ones, though.

Fat Pop - Paul Weller
Lockdown, and a string of ex-wives and kids to support, makes for the second very decent album in under a year. In fact, his last 11 years have been pretty darn good.

Things I'm adding:
Gojira - Fortitude. Good band makes good album. Great drums on this track in particular.
Jeff Rosenstock - SKA DREAM. What's happened here is that Jeff has put out a cover album of his 2020 album NO DREAM but with all the songs performed in the ska style. I love it. In this example The Beauty Of Breathing has become The Rudie Of Breathing:
Enforced - Kill Grid. Shit's called Kill Grid and it's hardcore/crossover thrash so obviously I like it.

You could say that the Derek and the Dominos album Layla doesn't need to be covered in (almost) its entirety in a live setting, and you might be right. But if it absolutely has to be done, then it absolutely has to be done by The Tedeschi Trucks Band (Layla Revisited). She sure can sing, and he sure can play that slide guitar.

Adding Distant Populations by Quicksand, an album that is significantly better than most new albums from bands that have been around for ~30 years.

Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series Volume 16: Springtime In New York 1980 - 1985
The latest in the - can you believe it - 30 year vaults-opening exercise. It's one of the best things to happen to any artist, if you ask me, but I've always been one for the cast-offs.
The 5 disc version has around 60 songs. You could say it had its work cut out for it, tackling the first half of the often rum 80s, but as with the previously covered Self Portrait period, there's always lots to like and lots of choices to bewilder you. This covers the secular songs from Shot Of Love, the voluminous sessions for Infidels, and the largely maligned Empire Burlesque album - though in the way of things, some songs attempted here turned up on even later 80s albums.
We get lots of brand new outtakes, always the most valuable part for me, with the Shot Of Love discards being the best. There are also plenty of cover versions that you might quail to see looming on the tracklist - such as Green Green Grass Of Home and Sweet Caroline - but which turn out to be decent enough. There are lots of alternate takes of the released songs, and also - bear with me - alternate takes of the outtakes that turned up on the very first of the Bootleg Series (Foot Of Pride, Tell Me, Angelina, Need A Woman, Lord Protect My Child, Blind Willie McTell: the 1991 release has the best versions of all these, though). The Empire Burlesque songs come out well, stripped of some of that Arthur Baker production.
Musicians including Mick Taylor, Sly and Robby, and Mark Knopfler (who produced Infidels) waft distinctively in and out. Stars of the show, though, are the backing singers, including Clydie King and Carolyn Dennis, who lift anything they touch, especially some of those cover versions. I'm enjoying it a lot. (If pushed, I'd say the Basement Tapes release is still my favourite of this subterranean strand, though.)

While we wait for Tracks 2 or the Born In The USA boxset to arrive, we're handsomely kept going by The Legendary 1979 No Nukes Concerts. A very tight 90 minute set* with the band on stunning form, and a setlist tilted towards a whole big party. There's two CDs and a DVD or blu-ray. Worth it alone for the 10 minute goofing off of Quarter To Three, to say nothing of a fearsome Prove It All Night.
*A mix of the two shows.
