Some sound picks in todays OMM - including small bits on Umalali (13) by Charlie and Toumani (17) and Damon's Monkey (21) by me plus Amadou and Mariam at Number 2 (selected by editor Caspar Llewelllyn Smith) - also in the list, Buika, Camille, Bellowhead, Seu Jorge, Kasai All-stars....Bon Iver is No 1...

Another week , another list, but anyhow...
inevitable but embarassing subbing slip-up said Toumani ( after he "ventured into African classical terrain" - huh?) quoted The Good The Bad The Queen - errrr..many forumistas will know what I actually wrote..
also- claims on Bon Iver write up has it that it is now impossible for any one artist to capture the zeitgeist - comments?
(Feel free to shift this into a more appropriate bit of the forum..)
