LIST 188 - 29/01/16
Hello again,
As epic gig fails go, missing a secret(ish) gig by Field Music held barely two minutes' walk from one's place of work must rate pretty highly, and that is sadly what transpired the other day when a performance at the Harley in Sheffield by Sunderland's finest passed me by completely. I suck.
In light of which, the title of their brand new single seems strangely aposite!
Other highlights this week include something new and something very old indeed from cult heroes Half Japanese; a splendid semi-lost gem by messrs Vega, Chilton and Vaughn now rereleased on 7" single; the highlight of Slowdive's third and tragically underappreciated (not least by Creation Records) album, 1995's Pygmalion; and, practically 35 years to the day since it reached its highest chart position, my favourite one-hit wonder of all time from Susan Fassbender.
"Sometimes I get so low"... Something terribly sad and portentous about the opening line of Twilight Cafe, isn't there, considering Fassbender would take her own life ten years later when still in her early thirties.
