Brief 54: Big Music

This is a playlist of big music - you know what I mean. Big Music. The Waterboys had a song called 'The Big Music'. This is definitely that, but not just that. That's why it's just "Big Music" not "The Big Music".

It crosses over with Kaleidoscopop but is not quite the same. Big Music can be black and white, like Doves.

I am also making a playlist of Small Music. It may be that Big Music and Small Music are my favourite musics, but then again, I'm a sucker for the Alt-Country Middleweights, which are neither ...
