Loved this band... When I was English assistant at a Lycée near Paris in 1985 they played a show in the school park grounds, not open to the public. Never found out what it was in aid of, but a special moment. 'C'est comme ça' was always the track to put on before a night out partying! RIP

Good read. Since punk there has been 50 years of new music, ever-accelerating growth. For me, too overwhelming to know about all the new revolutions - my guess is music is so fractured and specialised it's hard to achieve critical mass. And who decides what I end up hearing is the question, as ever.

Ian Williams: new album - Soundtracks For Weaving
In 1986 Ian made a series of improvisations designed as a utilitarian aid for some tapestry student friends at Edinburgh Art College, hence the title, Soundtracks For Weaving. Obviously, this was wishful thinking and they carried on listening to Radio 1 while working, but he liked the music anyway, and kept it on a cassette to listen to. He digitised it a few years ago and although it was just for his own personal listening, he thought it might be of interest to the wider world. There were some
