LIST 194 - 18/03/16

Hello again,

Plenty to enjoy as usual this week, including an early offering from splendid new Colour Me Wednesday offshoot Baby Arms; something from the current Wire leftovers album that's actually even better than many of tracks which did make it onto the most recent studio album; something from last year's first I, Ludicrous album in over a decade which I inexplicably managed to miss at the time; and some stonking psychedelic fun from a band named after a genuine nine metre square (or should that be three-sided?) area of West Yorkshire. 

The inclusion of Gordon Giltrap's 1977 top 30  hit Heartsong is, as most of you will probably have guessed by now, entirely to do with it having been used as the theme tune of the BBC's long-running Holiday programme during the tenure as host of Cliff Michelmore, who departed this earth just four years shy of a century just yesterday.
