The Showdown, 13.8.12

Technological issues again this week, but we managed to scrape together a rudimentary playlist for your perusal. Featuring Alzheimer, Wilco, Jim Black’s AlasNoAxis, They Might Be Giants, and the centrepiece: Bernard Herrmann’s music from Taxi Driver, eliciting a positive response from both of us, as well as prompting us to build our 1 o’clock segment around the intriguing though somewhat flawed practice of ‘best of’ film lists.
