LIST 167 - 27/11/2015

Hello there,

Back from our summer and early-autumn jollies, here we are with the start of season seven of That Music List.  Did you miss us?  No need to answer.

I expect the next few Lists are all going to be mish-mashes of new, remembered and miscellaneous stuff - heaven knows you had enough themed selections from us during the summer.

So, in no particular order, this time we have something new from the prolific Mr Hayman; the first fresh output in nearly a quarter of a century from drone titans Loop (plus a reminder of how they sounded back in the day, i.e. pleasingly none too different); some gender binary smashing from the ever-impressive The Spook School (who were superb in Sheffield last Saturday, by the way - where were you?); a fishy tale from Francesca's Word Salad (who'll be superb in Sheffield this Saturday - are you coming?); a winsome elephantine tale from the latest kids' album by They Might Be Giants; and a project by the name of Cavern Of Anti-Matter which I feel rank bad about having overlooked for two years, given it principally features Tim Gane out of Stereolab.  Oops.

J xx
