LIST 49 - 17/09/10

Back once more, with the first upload to this list so far of anything from Belle and Sebastian's long-awaited "Write About Love" album. I don't think it disappoints - quite the opposite. Whether the remainder of the album entirely stacks up I have yet to discover, though.

It's not the only new produce I'm delighted to include after years of waiting. Neither Stars nor Blonde Redhead have exactly galloped to follow up their previous efforts, but the wait has been worth it in both instances. I'm advised the latter can thank Fever Ray's producer for some creative input this time round - certainly sounds like it if so, and definitely not unwelcome.

Midnight Juggernauts, Connan (still Mockasin but minus the Mockasins, if that makes sense) and Chromeo are other welcome returnees, whilst the appearance of Tunng's "Bullets" this week serves as a prelude for the inclusion of a new track by them / him next.

Oh, and apparently some people out there are still making what the late John Peel christened "bastard pop", so I've finished with some of that this time.
