‘A NEW BRAND OF BRILLIANCE’ (A SPOTIFY PLAYLIST)



Click here for a Spotify playlist packed full of Xmas songs and general good cheer! Well, some Christmas songs… okay not any, just the usual stuff. Sights along the way include…

Bardo Pond's blistering psychedelia doesn't know about us but we know about it, Brian Eno talks only in incomprehensible proverbs, New York punk trio Ut provide the spikiest of no wave, Low disappear (as they unfortunately did after the untimely death thus year of Mimi Parker), Jonathan Richman finds the financial zone to be something akin to Wordsworth’s field of golden daffodils, my bloody valentine take off for dimensions unknown (as is their wont), Mazzy Star ring dem bells - and more!

The illo’s a collage by the pioneering Pop artist Eduardo Paolozzi. (Much appreciated in these here parts.)

The Delgados: Lazarwalker
Bardo Pond: Don’t Know About You
Brian Eno: Blank Frank
The Waterboys: Nobody’s Baby Anymore
Ut: Big Wing
Sleater-Kinney: Ruins
Low: Disappearing
Emma Ruth Rundle: Protection
Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers: Lonely Financial Zone
my bloody valentine: sometimes
Mazzy Star: Bells Ring
Swans: The Sound

"Blank Frank is the siren,
He's the air-raid, he's the crater
He's on the menu, on the table,
He's the knife and he's the waiter”


Back in the New Year…
