Today in "Listening To . . ."

Is a selection of songs from Pale Fountains, Shack and Michael Head and the Strands. All fantastic stuff. Lush, hooky, pop which moves between mid-era Beatles to Forever-Changes-era Arthur Lee to, at times, that same mid-eighties, New Wave brazenness that XTC once had. Of course, those songs were recorded in the mid-eighties when Pale Fountains were a brazen New Wave band. So I guess that's logical.

Thanks David for providing me with some killer tracks. It's damn fine music.

And if you haven't heard any of this, you should feel shame. Much like I did. Honestly, this music is too good to be ignored.
