If I Stand Up, The World Will Spin Away

Andrew Weatherall has frequently featured on this blog, most recently in June with a selection of remixes. However, I think this is the first time I've presented a selection exclusively focusing on the music he's released under his own name.

Without further ado, here's a 10 song selection in a little over 70 minutes, bringing together (mostly vocal) songs and remixes from Andrew Weatherall's solo albums and various EPs and 12" singles.

Today's selection title is a lyric from We Count The Stars (track 9) which complements the photo of the giant wooden gorilla, snapped in the gardens of Bristol Zoo when Clan K visited on Monday. Every 30 minutes or so, the gorilla's left hand would raise to it's mouth, which would then 'spit' water all over the children (and some adults) below, to their screaming delight.
