Comment: A very quiet week for the first week of summer, Brian Eno smells like a retrospective, Melvins are fun but not that much fun, Haim are overrated and only one of their new songs is any good, Public Service Broadcasting are still proving their point. That leaves for most anticipated album of the week the tragic Chris Bell, half of Big Star, who died at the sadly too soon age of 27 in a car accident. It should be a revelation for millennium music heads and my friend Pop Doses’ Robert Ross speaks very well of it.
