LIST 203 - 20/05/16
Hello again,
Another last song dedicated in loving memory in this List, alas, following the passing at the age of 61 last weekend of Marlene Marder, guitarist with trailblazing Swiss female post-punk act Kleenex / LiLiPUT. Die Matrosen is a fairly obvious choice of tribute song, I concede, but it's also a terrific one.
School Of Seven Bells would in contrast be a band to suffer tragedy whilst still a going concern, founder member and co-guitarist Ben Curtis having died of lymphoma in 2013. His final demos and ideas have since been fashioned into the final SVIIB album by sole remaining member Alejandra Deheza, and the single included this time is one of many highlights of a superb, if inevitably highly poignant and emotionally charged collection of songs.
The promo for the excellent Cupid by The Big Moon, meanwhile, is surely the latest in a long line of candidates for the title "if Tiswas did videos, would they be like this?", even if the off-camera exhortation to go again does appear to be a bit of a copy from Lisa Hannigan's even messier Knots video - go back to List #71 (http://thatmusiclist.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/list-71-141011.html) and see what you think.
