LIST 36 - 23/04/10

There's just the 17 songs in this week's 80-minute digest, but lots to interest nonetheless. Johnny Cash continues to release new product from beyond the grave, with the choice here taken from new release "American VI", whilst the Durutti Column track is taken from the self-explanatory tribute album "Paean to Tony Wilson" - sampled thoughts from the great man himself feature prominently. Massive Attack get the then and now treatment, whilst Goblin's track corrects this website's dereliction of duty hitherto to include any soundtracks from Italian splatter movies. ;-D

LIST 35 - 16/04/10

There's the welcome return of a number of long-absent friends in this week's digest. The return of The Hidden Cameras I managed to miss completely (Oops. How???), but progress on Gogol Bordello and Nina Nastasia has been monitored on a nigh-monthly basis for years, and has ultimately proven well worth it.

The new Bomb The Bass single is reason enough to do a Then And Now on Tim Simenon's enduring project (23 years and counting, I make it), and there are a couple of other genuine curiosities. The Trembling Blue Stars track, all ninety-three seconds of it, was recorded for live-action / puppet-based kids' TV show Yo Gabba Gabba of all things; whilst Anna Fröderberg's track is taken from an album released in January entitled "27 Songs from Barcelona", a triple album featuring one track from each of the 27 members of sainted Swedish indie-pop choir I'm From Barcelona. As the album was limited to 200 vinyl copies worldwide, it's safe to assume we won't be seeing too many of these knocking around in future, other than at inflated prices on eBay.

LIST 34 - 09/04/10

The first fruits of two albums of 2010 I've been particularly waiting for - and for a very long time, at that! - make an appearance in this week's list. Serena-Maneesh return after nearly four years out with a sonic assault to make Kevin Shields proud, whilst another Kevin, Mr Drew, has finally got round to convening his splendid powerpop collective Broken Social Scene for the first time in five.

Couldn't let the week pass without letting the official 6Music protest song, "Joy Division Oven Gloves", get an airing. Coming to a chart new you! Probably. Josh Haden's reactivated slo-fi ensemble Spain gets the then and now treatment, and we round off with our own brief Malcolm McLaren tribute.

LIST 33 - 02/04/10

Their upcoming appearance at the Jazz Cafe in London was reason enough to dig out some vintage Cranes for this list, and I've been meaning to include The Monochrome Set's eponymous track for quite some time, too. Mostly newer stuff aside from these, though, with the Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip track taken from what's proven to be anything other than a difficult second out.

Three cheers to Goldfrapp for delivering the best pop moment of 2010 so far, I reckon - wonder if France has forgiven them yet for still not creating a Felt Mountain mk. 2?
