I'm still a sucker for <em>We Carry On</em> but it should be acknowledged that Silver Apples were the originators. Anyone who likes the Jools Holland clip linked above might like to know that <a href="http://www.dimeadozen.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Dimeadozen</a> has a torrent of the whole show available. (You need to be a member there to access it, of course.) Hi Ed. I’m still a sucker for We Carry On but it should be acknowledged that Silver Apples were the originators.

I do prefer Silver Apples's "Oscillations" though! Ed Hi John, just checked that Portishead vs Silver Apples reference, nice one! I do prefer Silver Apples’s “Oscillations” though!

Adrian Utley has worked with Mount Vernon Arts Lab as I noted in my Yahoo Music piece, an outfit a thousand miles from the mainstream. Ghost was the free one, right? I haven't heard any NIN for ages but if it's more soundtrack-oriented then I'm more interested. His songs used to put me off a bit. But I always liked that he supported Coil, one of my favourite groups of the Nineties. Hey, that’s Coulthart, if you please. :)

'Threads' has really got me at the moment as well, especially the way the doom escalates until it sounds like Deathprod or something. Can't help but think the title is a nod to the chilling <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threads" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">nuclear apocalypse film</a> of the same name.
