LIST 173 - 07/12/15

Hello again,

The start of a fresh week of Lists (whilst stocks still last), and a couple of contributions that I've been gutted to have missed playing in Sheffield these past couple of weeks - excellent, upwardly mobile Glasgow two-piece Tuff Love and dramatic French songstress Marianne Dissard.  Gig-going FAIL.

Elsewhere, it's a long-overdue pleasure to include Endless Art by A-House this time around.  It's been kicking around on my to-include list for a couple of years now, in the ultimately unrealised hope of including it in a List entirely consisting of "list" songs. 

One idea that should very much still come to fruition before very long, however, is a List containing only songs that share their names with towns, cities or countries.  So why is Wakefield by Stanley Brinks and the Wave Pictures included here instead of there?  Simple - the venerable Mr Brinks has released more than the one such song as a single this year alone...
