That Music List: November 2012

Wednesday 28 November 2012

LIST 103 - 30/11/12

Hello again,

Another mish-mash assortment this week, with the ever-splendid Matt & Kim one return to action I've particularly awaited with glee. In a way it seems unusual for them to be appearing in a video here in which they're not being splattered with food or fake blood, but the promo for "Let's Go" is amusing in other ways. And besides which, the video three songs before them takes care of the mess factor instead for those who like that sort of thing!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to upload Cursor Miner's ode to bibliophilia given my day job as a Chartered Librarian. Equally, I'm aghast that I was able to overlook Dean Gray's superb bastard pop project for getting on for seven years. Two wrongs righted elsewhere in this week's List, then.

LIST 102 - 23/11/12

Hello again,

A mixed bag again for you this week, although indiepop is particularly to the fore with choice contributions from Tigercats, Allo Darlin, Jens Lekman and The Lovely Eggs. Regarding the last-named, and to answer one mail I've received - I'll stop including them in Lists so often when they stop producing so many excellent songs that demand inclusion! Alles klar.

The anniversary of John Peel's passing having (shamefully) yet again passed unacknowledged by this List a few weeks ago, a partial recompense is offered in the shape of the Amsterdam track included. If Teenage Kicks endured as his favourite song of all time, Does This Train Stop on Merseyside would be reckoned by many to be his second.

LIST 101 - 16/11/12 (a third Then and Now special)

Hello again,

Following on from Lists #66 and #82, here we have a third collection of pairs of songs taken from opposite ends of the given artists' bodies of work - one new or recently released, the other back from the mists of time. Survivors from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s,1990s and early 2000s all feature in this assortment, which is pleasing. There's at least one piece of footage here lifted from The Word, but don't let that put you off...

LIST 100 - 09/11/12

Hello there,

Some three and a half years after it all started, That Music List hits its 100th installment today. There's nothing out of the ordinary planned to mark that occurrence, no retrospective, no outtakes, no funny anecdotes - just another solid list of sonic pleasure commencing with a policeman being eaten by a space dinosaur. But of course...
