LIST 90 - 31/08/12

Hello again dear hearts,

Ooops.  Can't say that that break of about a month was exactly planned!  I have the temerity to go on holiday for the first time in nigh on five years, only to come back to nothing computer-wise actually still working.  All back on an even keel now, though.

This list appears shorter than usual but is assuredly still the usual 70-odd minutes in length - a 32-minute epic from the brand new Swans album takes care of the second half of the running time this time, and (unsurprisingly) at once becomes the longest track ever included on this fair site.  

Elsewhere, the return to active service of the likes of Grizzly Bear, Tender Trap, Bart & Friends and - after over a decade away - Fuxa offers plenty to cheer.  For added 1990s shoegazeytronica bonus points, the last-named features Sarah Peacock from Seefeel doing a splendid line in deadpan vocals.  Win.

It's likely there'll be an NME-related theme to next week's List, but don't run away.  Please don't.

J xx

LIST 89 - 27/07/12


Hello there,

Here's something else to entertain yourselves with once tonight's Olympic opening ceremony has come to an end, as surely it must at some point!  Another mish-mash list this week, including two of the acts - Robberie and The Sunbathers - whom I couldn't quite fit into the Indietracks Lists of earlier in the month.  

The release of a new Frank & Walters single (back in February, when That Music List was on its holidays, but finally included here) gives the perfect excuse to dig out something else nice of theirs from - oh God - 20 years earlier; whilst the sainted Mr Hibbett shows what can be achieved with little more than Google StreetView and a handful of plastic dinosaur toys.  WIN.

LIST 88 - 20/07/12

Hello there,

Another mixture of allsorts this week, including a track from Belbury Poly which suggests some Jean Michel Jarre records may be owned; a near-Olympic act of gluttony from all three members of The Wave Pictures; and a reassuringly nuts return to action from Animal Collective.

Cheers!
