The other eight tracks seem to be studio offcuts, tracks that didn't for whatever reason fit on other TLS releases and experiments that were forgotten about and then retrieved from the vaults. Poon's buzzing, fizzing electro cover of Robert Calvert's Lord Of The Hornets (posted previously on these pages). Two of the tracks were otherwise released as one of the 7" singles in the Hidden Library series- I say series, it ran to two releases, Hidden Library 002 and Hidden Library 003, the second of which was Jnr. Still My World came out in 2003 and was credited to Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood (presumably to avoid any contractual issues with the name Two Lone Swordsmen which was how Andrew and Keith were recording at the time). Every time I’ve made a record, I’ve tried to make it different from the last one, says Rouse. His two-decade career has generated tuneful and varied music thats soundtracked innumerable road trips. Rouse started his music career in Nashville where he recorded his debut album, Dressed Up Like Nebraska in 1998. The followup- Home (2000)yielded the song Directions which Cameron Crowe used in his film Vanilla Sky. Josh Rouse is a folk, pop, singer-songwriter from Nebraska. The group’s line-up includes guitarist Jody Porter and drummer Brian Young and has remained unchanged since they toured in support of their 1996 self-titled debut album. The album’s acclaim led to tours with Aimee Mann, Mark Etzel and the late Vic Chestnut.
He also has some real obscurities and rarely heard releases hidden away in his back catalogue, none more obscure than a promo CD called Still My World, a ten track album produced solely for Japan and tied in to promote Zegna, an Italian clothing line. Formed in New York in 1996 by Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger, Fountains Of Wayne took their name from an iconic garden store in nearby Wayne, New Jersey. His solo album A Pox On The Pioneers contained two extra tracks not available on the standard release as did the only album by his duo with Timothy J. Andrew Weatherall loved to give the Japanese market a few extras.
