LIST 21 - 18/09/09

I'm a pretty late comer to the naughtily-monikered F*ck Buttons, but I'm glad I have. Like much on their two albums to date, "Space Mountain" is astonishing stuff - like a more aggressive, visceral Boards Of Canada, if that isn't doing both acts a disservice.

Other than that, there is a double helping of veteran Japanese punk-poppers Shonen Knife (28 years and still going strong!), French hip-hop, Norwegian pronk, London steampunk, the cutest Americans ever, and a boat full of robots playing Baroque music. Oh yes, and something Soundgarden fans might not want reminding of!
