Thank Fuck it's the cricket season

We must have all been there reading, the latest transfer news in the various media outlets, on twitter and the various Utd forums, hoping to try and find out what's really going on with United on the transfer front. Yet fuck knows why we bother, what will happen, will happen. Does Woodward know what he's doing, are we likely to look with favour on the list that Van Gaal has supposedly given him? I'm not really sure on both counts. Thank fuck it's the cricket season, and that England have been surprisingly very good. Hope that continues now the main event is about to commence, bring on the Aussies!

Music

Cats Eyes - The Duke of Burgundy: I enjoed the duo's first album, but wasn't sure what to expect from this soundtrack album. I ended up really liking it. Whereas you would hardly have known that she was an opera singer from the first album, you defintiely know it on this very disparate affair.

Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit And Think And Sometimes I Just Sit: This album from the Aussie seemed to be all the rage a few months back, finally got around to it and it very much lives up to the hype, it's excellent.

Laura Marling - Short Movie: Another fine album from the UK singer/songwriter, maybe it's me, musically a bit loose, rocks out a little more.

Matthew E White - Fresh Blood: I absolutely loved his belated debut album and this is another fine album, maybe not quite as good, but still a very fine record. The penultimate track Vision is a belter, below,

Prince and 3RDEYEGIRL - Plectrumelectrum: This got some pretty tasty reviews when it came out and it doesn't disappoint. Very 80's rock meets some serious 70's funk equals seriously good stuff.

The Cribs - For All My Sisters: One of the better UK indie acts around, they make consistently good catchy loud indie guitar rock and this is another fine album.

THEEsatisfaction - EarthEE: The debut album from this US female leftfield hip hop act was a bit of a corker and this follow up is it's equal. They are never desribed as trip hop, but I always hear that in their music amongst other things. That's a good thing by the way.
