Hello again,
No apologies at all for starting with the reliably, endearingly deranged Lovely Eggs this time, given that between this List and the next your editor will have seen them in action in both Sheffield and Leeds.
No apologies, either, for including some typically adept, peerless plucking from the late Bert Jansch at the end of the List. A colossus astride the Folk Revival for over four decades and as relevant and revered now as then, his is certainly one of music's most significant and sad losses of 2011.

LIST 71 - 14/10/11
If Tiswas or Dick & Dom ever went into making music videos for other acts, then the Lisa Hannigan promo included this time around might be what they'd come up with. Aggressive but beautifully choreographed slapstick / gunging, all Lisa's own idea, and impressively all done in the one take, first time up.
Having also let herself be drenched in melted chocolate (albeit for an Oxfam Make Trade Fair campaign) in the recent past, one wonders whether she's making up for lost time fun-wise in these post-Mr Rice days...
Fun also seems to be on the agenda for Be Like Pablo, whose perky new single has elevated them in my estimations somewhat after never really getting the track they donated to the Indietracks compilation two years ago.
Elsewhere we have a Beastie Boys then and now; some quality techno japery of the sort Peel would have adored; a Field Mice song and the band who named themselves after it; and Darren Hayman looking alarmingly like Mike Read when rendered in Lego. Another uneventful List, then...

LIST 70 - 07/10/11
Hello again,
No huge preamble this week, folks, but rather just a simple invitation to enjoy - among other things - some brand new product from everyone's favourite enduring US geek duo, yet another project involving Swedish indiepop kingpin Roger Gunnarsson, the delectable but lesser-spotted Mr Lekman, and Four Lads Who Shook The Wirral (and have plans for Jim Beglin, by the sounds of it...).
The Lou & Ginny track, meanwhile, washed up whilst I was searching for a write-up on some obscure mid-80s Marvel Comics characters. At this remove I can't for the life of me think how, but the best discoveries (and this girl-power late-1950s rock'n'roll nugget is certainly one of those) are often the accidental ones.
Hmmm, so that's just a medium-large preamble this week, then!
