LIST 207 - 17/06/2016

Hello there,

Very occasionally, That Music List runs the risk of aligning itself with current affairs... 

The opening track from Helen Love is, of course, a paean to the young man who could yet do plenty to ensure that Wales venture further into the Euro 2016 championships than any other home nation, whilst at the same time reigniting her association with football songs which dates back nearly twenty years to Superlove's splendid, Banana Splits theme tune-apeing Cardiff City Superstars.

The closing track, meanwhile, should leave the listener in little doubt as to which side of the Remain/Leave fence this particular List compiler falls. Next week's List will be compiled whilst either in a state of high relief (no celebration in this parish) or inconsolable despair...

LIST 206 - 10/06/2016

Hello again,

Plenty of stuff new and old to enjoy again this week, and in the case of the opening track, perhaps new and old at the same time, considering The Magnetic North's current work is a magnificent concept album dedicated to the reimagining of band member Simon Tong's home town of Skelmersdale as a New Town in 1961. 

It's certainly more flattering a piece, all in all, than The Style Council's Come to Milton Keynes, put it that way.

LIST 205 - 03/06/2016

Hello again,

Something of a Then and Now and Even Further Back in this List, as not only is an old (and pretty familiar) track by The Avalanches included alongside their long, long overdue new single, but so too is the piece from 1968 which that older track sampled to great effect in the first place. 

This must be the first time any recording artist by the name of Enoch has featured in these annals, too.

In the week that Jarvis Cocker's voice (sadly only temporarily) replaced the usual one as the destination announcer on the Sheffield Supertram network, the inclusion of Sheffield Sound City as the concluding track this time around was an absolute must. 

Then, as now, nobody else on the planet can utter the placename "Attercliffe" without causing grown men and women to melt.
