LIST 190 - 19/02/16

Hello again,

Seems somewhat appropriate to include a new Cavern Of Anti-Matter track in the same week as featuring old and brand new produce from mainstays Tortoise, given the sustained association of the latter's John McEntire with Cavern frontman Tim Gane in his Stereolab days.  X degrees of separation, post/drone-rock style...

Christine And The Queens' track is classy French pop.  T-Shirt Weather and The School are so many shades of indiepop wonderful.  Electric Cake Salad features a vocal performance so reminiscent of Ozzy Osbourne as to be uncanny. 

And yep, that is the real Twiggy; the Captain Beaky albums from which her selection is taken are a not-at-all-guilty pleasure as far as I'm concerned, considering the project's musical arrangements by same the Jim Parker who scored the amazing Sir John Betjeman albums (as played by the likes of Jarvis Cocker and Gideon Coe and loved by me) only a couple of years earlier.
