Beck, Robert Plant and St. Vincent mean we are not exactly short of world-class music this week! It is rare seeing a trinity of year-best-potential records arrive on the same day. I have included songs from each artist’s new release – Colors, Carry Fire and MASSEDUCTION, respectively – and collate fresh inspiration from Noel Gallagher, Dave and Lo Moon. It is a week where some true titans nestle alongside the newcomers – those making their way to the mainstream.
After a couple of weeks – that have promised great music but few epic selections – it seems this is the week where we can reclaim some of that giddy headiness…

That should be enough to tuck into this weekend! It is amazing seeing Beck, Robert Plant and St. Vincent release on the same day. Other albums – including the new one from King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard – should not go unrecognised.
I am excited seeing how October pans out and what other treats there are in store for us all!
