Partly because it's ten years ago that I was recording God Thing, and partly because I enjoyed compiling the Alice Dee playlist, I thought I'd make a companion playlist to God Thing. The God Thing text is - in part - a knot of literary, musical, and cinematic references, and picking one's way through it can be difficult, I admit. This latest playlist collects the songs referred to. You're on your own with the literary and cinematic allusions, for now.
