B List
No specific B List was
listed though Dorian did write: "Near misses: the
Arcade Fire (Neighbourhood #2) and Antony & the Johnsons
(You Are My Sister). Great new discoveries: Death Cab
For Cutie (Brothers on a Hotel Bed), Jorge Ben (Take it
Easy, My Brother Charles) and the Handsome Family (My
Sister's Tiny Hands). A song I realised I didn't like
half as much as I thought I did: the Hollies' gooey,
overcooked He Ain't Heavy." Does that constitute an
informal B List? Except for the first two, I'd say no.
So here is the two song B List:
