I picked up the first issue of Loops the other day in the HMV in Truro for £2.
I was flicking through it on the train down to Portsmouth when I became engrossed in James Yorkston's damn funny travelogue of an Irish tour. Now I'm not really down with most of Yorkston's oeuvre, being all folky and shit, but I am down with his writing style.
A good example of this is on his collaboration with Reporter, which I found on an old Rob Da Bank compilation. It's a lovely bitter-sweet story over some burbling electronics and sounds just right in January.
