As ever come November here on It Starts With a Birthstone the mop up of albums I haven't had time for begins. Records I haven't had time for. Records I've mussed. Records brought back to my attention by the end of year rundowns on the music magazines.
So Billy Nomates . She's an artist I've praised and enjoyed a lot over the years she's been makng music and playing. I've seen her and enjoyed that experience too. She struck me as brave and free. All you can ask for.
Her latest album Metalhorse is stirring stuff. She has the tunes and seems to have honed her sound so it is less obviously Punky and insolent but will certainly make you dance and make you think,
She seems to question a lot of the underlying values of the age. Thats valuable because the values of the age strike me as fraudulent and in need of urgent scrutiny. This is rather splendid. I'm her mate !
