Our latest Spotify playlist starts with the Delgados getting us on our feet, the Waterboys find the Christ in us (no easy task), Coil give a hallucinogenic account of the death of art-cinema auteur Pasolini, the Blue Aeroplanes struggle to recall elusive memories, the The offer a song-form helpline in the thickest of nights, my bloody valentine go woozily serene in the soft moonlight, the original Fleetwood Mac get bluesy till it hurts (as was their way), Bessie Jones goes gospel (called by no less than Alan Lomax “the Mother Courage of American black traditions”), Show Me the Body don’t get intense in any way nosiree, then noise rockers Gnod tear down the house we built. Happy listening!
