#THETENX5 1️⃣5️⃣
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds | Higgs Boson Blues | Push the Sky Away | 2013
One of St Nick's most powerful songs. The lyrics are ridiculous but when he sings them he invests them with such meaning

On the bright side Spurs haven't conceded for over ten minutes.
You made me look up the score. 😬
Commiserations.
Given that Big Sam has retired from the relegation prevention business, I think you're correct that Obi-wan Seanobi is your last hope.

Michael Kiwanuka | Love And Hate | Love & Hate | 2016
🎶Now I feel some days of trouble
I'm in the house of war
For the love of everybody
Look behind the wall🎶

Someone who looks stylish wearing glasses
But as a token of respect he's wearing the same white baseball cap he wore at Dover Air Force Base
#THETENX5 1️⃣7️⃣
Patti Smith | Constantine's Dream | Banga | 2012
She says, "[in the song] there are many questions. It questions the role of artists in our society. The questions are there, and they're not answerable questions."

Agnes Bernelle | The Hurdy Gurdy | Father's Lying Dead On The Ironing Board | 1985
Another song where you have to listen all the way through to get the full impact. Sorry about that

#THETENX5 1️⃣8️⃣
PSY| Gangnam Style | single | 2012
The first song to achieve global dominance solely through YouTube streaming. An iconic pop monster.

#ExitMusic Day 8️⃣
Autechre | All End | NTS Session 4 AAC 320 | 2024
For the remaining Sundays of March I will be trying everybody's patience by picking tracks which seem like they could end at any moment but don't. At 58m22s this is the shortest 😀

#THETENX5 1️⃣9️⃣
FKA Twigs | Water Me | EP2 | 2013
I may be splitting the vote here, as I think most people have been picking Cellophane, but I handed my list to Arron before the challenge started so 🤷

#ExitMusic Day 7️⃣
Momus | What Will Death Be Like? | b-side | 1987
The pre-electronic Nicky C (as nobody ever calls him) gives us a witty song that repays careful listening, although some cultural references may be lost on younger ears
youtu.be/HDtVKlE7k0o?...
Literally came here to post this
I guess tthe Telegraph are conflicted, because if their side had won the war "Eins, Zwei, Drei" is how we'd be counting
*Slartibartfast to anybody not typing on their phone 🙄
Yes to Minotaur, yes to Android and also he was Hotblack Desiato's bodyguard in HHG2G TV series, which brings us back to Slattibartfast
#THETENX5 2️⃣0️⃣
Kae Tempest | Bad Place For A Good Time | single | 2015
It's #BandcampFriday ! Today is a good day to support modern music by supporting modern musicians

#ExitMusic Day 6️⃣
Tindersticks | My Sister | s/t | 1995
A funny/sad tale with a glorious coda: some of the Sticks' best moments feature Terrry Edwards and a horn section
youtu.be/pb4gE7EEXzs?...
*Wah! Heat ofc. Ooops
My 201 streak came to an end today. Apparently #nyt has run out of real five letter words

Wah Heat | 7000 Names of Wah | NME C81 (v/a) | 1981
An almost entirely instrumental track, but what lyrics there are are appropriate to the challenge
youtu.be/0823htEKMPo?...
It was for the classical Greek practice of rhaphanidosis.
#THETENX5 2️⃣1️⃣
CHVRCHES | Never Say Die | Love Is Dead | 2018
The post-implemenation review at the end of every project
🎶Wasn't it gonna be fun and wasn't it gonna be new?
Wasn't it gonna be different and wasn't it gonna be true?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?🎶

#THETENX5 2️⃣2️⃣
Stormzy | Blinded By Your Grace, Pt. 2 ft MNEK | Gang Signs & Prayer | 2017
🎶Lord, I've been broken
Although I'm not worthy
You fixed me, now I'm blinded
By your grace, you came and saved me🎶

If you want to feel old this is what Dr Manhatten looks like now

Tomeka Reid | Oo-long ft Jason Roebke, Mary Halvorson & Tomas Fujiwara | dance! skip! hop! | 2026
⚠️ Jazz
One of those tracks with a long fuse: it goes like this for a while then the band freak out before a controlled finish
outofyourheadrecords.bandcamp.com/track/oo-long
Maybe Jenny Agutter dabbled with modular synthesizers in her spare time
No, lead and rhythm guitar
