That Music List: October 2009

LIST 24 - 30/10/2009

Hello again,

Always nice to remember a band after ages, think, "I wonder if they're on Youtube at all?", and then find out that they are - hence the joyous appearance of Glasgow's finest psychic-Germany-eyeballs-plastic-cowboy-housing-estate art punk-poppers The Yummy Fur. Result!

Other highlights this time include a double helping of Depeche Mode with tracks all of 19 years apart (and yep, I know I could have gone further back still...), new stuff from the queen of indiepop (and economics) Amelia Fletcher, a spirited Hot Chip cover, the first appearance of some Touareg beats on this site, and some compelling late-90s German electronica.

Hello again,

Here's the fourth and final part of the it-was-20-years-ago retrospective That Music List has run during the summer - I hope it's brought back some fond memories, whatever you were into back then.

As sure as eggs is eggs, there will be something similar on this blog next year for 1990!

It's not completely the end of the 20th anniversary stuff this year, though, as I've remembered that Warp Records hits that milestone itself any day now, if it hasn't already done so. A trot through some of their highlights during the ensuing two decades will be added at some point, in one part or two.
