Anna Calvi - Desire (2011)

Loved watching Anna on the Glastonbury TV coverage and last weekend she was one of the highlights of my trip to the Latitude Festival.

Despite being scheduled on the wrong stage at the wrong time of day, she produced a compelling performance. A comment that there was a touch of the Buckley about her was quite apt.

One of my favourite discoveries of 2011.

Rilo Kiley - Portions For Foxes (2004)


To mark the sad demise of this great band (their split was confirmed last week), I present one of their finer moments.

I'm glad I got to see them a few years ago.

Jenny Lewis is still in fine form and her current group - Jenny & Johnny - were the highlight for me at the Latitude Festival last weekend, where I saw them perform in a woodland scene similar to this here vid.

"I am not a big proponent of the four-decade marriage age gap but if ever there was a situation when it would pay dividends ... it would be an ambush like that."
