LIST 26 - 13/11/2009

Hello again,

Neither Relax nor Two Tribes was necessarily the most controversial singles of 1983-4, however much their creators, producer or record lable may like to have thought otherwise. Shockheaded Peters' disarming, compelling swing-meets-post-punk paean to paid-for gay sex, I, Bloodbrother Be, holds stronger claims to that title as far as I'm concerned, and it's a pleasure to be able to include it today.

Other tracks from way back in the day include just about my favourite instrumental opener to an album ever, so it would have been most inappropriate not to accord Arrogance Gave Him Up the same position here. 

There's also a then and now of Groove Armada, some cut and paste hilarity from Cassetteboy, what Little Boots did before Little Boots (see if you can spot her), and the return of everyone's favourite ex-hobo.
