LIST 180 - 16/12/15 (2005 special, part one)

Hello there,

And so with 1995 already extensively mined (think I'll be able to squeeze out one more selection from that year, though), thoughts turn to a decade ago. 

It was an odd year for me in terms of discovering that much in the way of brand new music, being the first full year since John Peel's passing.  Would the music die with him?  Obviously not, no, though with the most major means for finding interesting new stuff no longer around it felt a little bit more of a struggle.  No matter - some of his best beloved acts continued to produce great material in his memory, with Half Man Half Biscuit, Laura Cantrell, Camera Obscura and Amsterdam four such bands included here.

An early sighting in this List of Au Revoir Simone; I'm not sure the first album had even come out by this stage.
