Two weeks of 2011 and two albums of the week. I’m so proud to have not abandoned it like my new year’s resolution to eat more healthily. Although I have stopped eating powdered gravy, so I suppose I did keep that one this time.

Album Of The Week no 2: Mogwai – Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will

 
Since falling for the charms of Stereolab almost a generation ago I’m a sucker for a bit of a driving Krautrock thing, and this album has its moments. The album’s divided loyal fans – but it’s grabbed my attention in a way that this band never did before, so it can’t be a bad thing, moving onwards and upwards and all that …!
