Some of our more dedicated readers might be wondering what the eff is going on with our Brian. He’s become somewhat lackadaisical about his playlist-composing duties lately, and we suspect he might be, well, having a hoot elsewhere. If anyone spots him around town doing anything that seems even slightly irresponsible, please contact lynn[@]forfolkssake.com or helen[@]forfolkssake.com and we’ll be after him with a net and a pillowcase.
Eager to prove that he isn’t misbehaving and thusly leaving no time for his weighty responsibilities, our owly companion has come up with a lovely selection of ‘songs that are new’. These are all, he assures us, tracks from albums released since the start of 2010. So bask in the brand-spanking-bright-as-a-button-shiny-newness of it all, and try to have faith in Brian. It’s all any of us can do.
