The August Playlist:
Vol. 5: Rarities and Round-Up
______________________
I sort of guessed there might be another installment…
in this series, and if has proved to be the case. It is always great hearing new songs and unexpected singles: so many of the best albums from this month have not made their way to mainstream papers and websites. Having a dig through Metacritic and their list of albums has shown me what is hiding away from the spotlight of the music big-players. Some charming tracks and wonderful artists: musicians that deserve a lot more attention. I compile them here and - because it is 22-years-old today - a track from Oasis’ seminal debut, Definitely Maybe.

That is it for August: September is a few days away. Unless something great appears in the next few days: it is on with September and the songs/albums being teased and speculated. It is impossible representing all the great tracks from August’s albums and artists but I hope the 5-part feature has brought most of them to you guys. Enjoy the music and see you (for this feature) in a few days.
