I insist that a list exists, so I don't miss anything that exists on the list. Lists exist, lest we forget. Chips Dips Cigarettes Launderette Paint the shed Bury the dead - Shopping list Top ten list Things to do list Things we have done list Bucket list Chuck it list Keep it list Christmas list Wish list Hit list Bleach Meet the girls at the beach Dinner with Sam Some ham and some Spam Sugar-free jam Don't forget to phone mum Kill everyone Got, need, got, need, got, need, swap ...

The I Spy Book of British A-Roads 02:27
lyrics

A single shoe in the central reservation. On the hard shoulder dead badger, two magpies pecking at its eyes. In the fast lane, the remains of what once could've been a fox. A bag of hard cement, jetsam from an unstable flatbed. spraypaint graffiti tag repeated fifty times another single shoe in the central reservation Another single shoe in the central reservation a small pile of scaffold clamps, partially hidden in the verge A line of paint from a punctured tin, proceeds for nigh two miles Another single shoe in the central reservation A Pringle tube in the central reservation A trail of road cones apparently abandoned A shredded tyre of an HGV A faded floral tribute marks the site of a fatality A rubber-neckers siren call Another single shoe in the central reservation yet another single shoe in the central reservation

about

The I-Spy Book of British A-Roads is a four track e.p.of list songs, all quite different in style, but held together by list glue.
The journey begins as we pull out of our suburban gravel driveway with Lists' experimental cut and paste psych-rock, then we take a short-cut through the angular 'death to trad rock' guitar twang and haunting keys of Aunty Ethel, before pulling onto the speedy section of A-Roads' Bass-driven, techno beats with the stereo on full and the windows wound down to the frame, and as we ask "are we nearly there yet?" the surf guitar rap of Bored slows us down and brings us to park in one of Basingstoke's many grey,concrete multi-storeys, searching our pockets and glovebox for some loose change for the machine.
Recorded socially distanced using old skool Zip Disc 4-track recorders and mixed on the train on a laptop.
