8 - A Song By A Band/Artist Whose Name Starts With H
Ansol, by Happy Go Licky
Very short-lived but great nonetheless. Pre-Fugazi Guy & Brendan. This is basically an experimental Rites Of Spring.

Day 7.
Closed Captioned, by Fugazi
Typically different sounding latter Fugazi. After Ian sings “so come on!” he and Guy deliver lovely twin guitar harmonies until leaving Brendan (and “5th member Jerry Busher) doing jazz drum rhythms.

7. Nightmares By The Sea.
Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk is such an interesting collection of how things might (or might not) have gone.
“Stay with me, under these waves tonight “ 😭💔

Golfball, by Good Flying Birds
Good band/album. This track reminds me of the Go-Betweens.

Designer (closely followed by Party) is her best for me. Just perfect.
I’ve seen her 3 times - after each of those last three albums were released, and she played pretty much exclusively just all tracks from that most recent album, so I wonder if that’ll happen again like that?
Fugazi release 'Albini Sessions' to benefit the Letters charity www.brooklynvegan.com/fugazi-relea...
✔️😂
Yeah, it works better hearing the lyrics along with the music doesn’t it. On paper (without the emotional delivery) it does look a bit like bad poetry?
Probably appealed to Mark that it works and also doesn’t.
There is a god.
Well, 5 gods actually

Day 6.
Laughingstock, by American Music Club.
The typical Eitzel emotional punch arrives:
“The laughing stock…
proves that the world…
is made of rock (long pause)…
That's hard for some”

An obvious choice for me this week. I think she’s an incredible artist and this is another superb track. Like all the best musicians she’s just doing her own thing which is pretty unique.
One Stop, by Aldous Harding

6 - A Song By A Band/Artist Whose Name Starts With F
Ok let’s go for some of this. Got a soft spot for this noisy, different sort of Fugazi song.
Great stuff from Guy of course.
Dear Justice Letter, by Fugazi

6. So Real
One of the first songs of his I heard. Just a clean, great guitar tone, and cool track.

Was at the Smokehouse tonight seeing Special Friend, along with Keith (a not quite as special friend 😂)
Absolutely stunning album - you can see why Tim Presley set up a record label just to release it.
I think those first six tracks especially are perfect.
💜
Street Talk is so good isn’t it.
Captured By The Moment, Go Away, Running Alone…
actually It’s Only Love would be an excellent #ExitMusic choice: Steve just absolutely going for it at the end.
A not even vaguely guilty pleasure for me too. Steve Perry is a god.
Neal Schon’s solo here is so unshowy and perfect.
Frontiers is my fave Journey btw (just thinking about whether you do an artist 15 thingy…)

Day 5.
Grace Cathedral Park, by Red House Painters
Possibly my favourite Kozelek song. The whole thing is beautiful, but that perfect gossamer ending makes my heart burst. “…and tell me, why are you like this?”
youtu.be/XWMCkyAHOSs?...
Great choice ✅
JT is my all time favourite album, and this (and Mothers…) get forgotten but really are highlights for me.
I consider the R&H live version as probably my favourite of all U2 things. Edge is so iconic here.

Jeff Buckley recently earned his first Hot 100 hit and his first Rock Hall nomination, and last night his best song got covered by St. Vincent 🙏

5. Dream Brother
This live version is extraordinary. The build up… and Jeff saying “…you’re just like him…”, before a literal howl of pain (5:12).
“Asleep in the sand, with the ocean washing over” 😭💔

Still got this on vinyl too!

5 - A Song By A Band/Artist Whose Name Starts With E
Still Life Blues, by Elephant Micah
First track I heard (and fell for) by Joe O’Connell. He’s an incredible artist worth searching out more for. (FFO, Jason Molina, Will Oldham)

Hope There’s Someone, by Antony & the Johnsons
ANOHNI upping the sadness even more with that beautiful but desperate refrain at the end, while the piano spirals upwards.

4. Yeh Jo Halka Saroor Hae
As Jeff starts doing an ‘impersonation’ of the late great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the audience laugh, then realise he actually does idolise him and they’re getting the whole song! 🤯

Best Metal album of all time?
Yup
