THE DANGER OF MIDNIGHT REVELS (LUCID FRENZY PLAYLIST)

Our latest Spotify playlist starts much the way modern music did, with Howlin’ Wolf's wail setting the bar. From there Jeffrey Lewis raises kvetching to an artform (not for the first time), the Jam predict a final conflagration (okay, perhaps a lucky guess), Tom Waits finds the frontier and is probably not coming back, Otomo Yoshihide unleashes his special big… er… band, the twelve-strong Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp take inspiration from African ensembles, the Balfa Brothers serve up some tasty Cajun cooking, and Chumbawamba remember to say thank you (though possibly sarcastically). Plus, as the saying goes, more…

The illo is of a fancy dress party held at the legendary Bauhaus.
