LIST 185 - 08/01/16

Hello again,

Another mish-mash this week, and regrettably also another musical in Memoriam at the end of it, following the passing just before Christmas of charismatic Stump frontman Mick Lynch.  Few bands came as close as the mid-late 1980s Anglo-Irish quartet did at reshaping Captain Beefheart's idiosyncratic musical stylings into something approaching a halfway radio-friendly form, and whilst Buffalo and Charlton Heston (both already featured in previous Lists) probably right stand as their career-defining tracks, its no less of a pleasure to include Chaos here.  Rest easy, Mick.

Elsewhere, it's a pleasure to include another track from the mighty album by erstwhile Aberdeen-ers The Luxembourg Signal, as much to remind myself how much they overcame the often soupy acoustics of the loco shed at Indietracks in a way that many, many other bands cannot manage - truly, theirs was one of the very best sets that festival has seen in any year, never mind just 2015.
