2 December 2020: Just Another Week
Set 1
“Little White Dove” by Wheat
From the band’s weirdest album, Everyday I Said a Prayer for Kathy and Made a One Inch Square.
“Everyone Asked About You” by Everyone Asked About You
From their EP also called Everyone Asked About You. I found them from r/Emo, and downloaded it from Sophie’s Floorboard, since that’s the only place I could find it.
“Want” by Jawbreaker
“How He Lived After How He Died” by Protomartyr
“Faster Gun” by the Wrens
“Arrows to the Action” by Knapsack
Set 2
“Home Is Where the Haunt Is” by American Football
“Fight Song” by the Appleseed Cast
“Garden” by the Fall
Probably my favorite Fall song. Not even necessarily because of the lyrics, but just because of the sound.
“The Present” by Bloc Party
Rarity from the group, not on streaming but easy to find on file sharing services.
“Laissez Faire” by Stereolab
This is a BBC Session recording of a song they released on an EP. The lyrics, unfortunately, are quite prescent: we did go to war ten years later.
Set 3
“Woodson” by the Get Up Kids
“The Pharmacist” by Hot Rod Circuit
“A Modern Way of Letting Go” by Idlewild
“Wolves at Night” by Manchester Orchestra
“B is for Bethlehem” by the Promise Ring
“Uptown Again” by the Afghan Whigs
Set 4
“Milk” by the 1975
“Joe Jaxon” by Volcano, I’m Still Excited!!
“The Leanover” by Life Without Buildings
“Grounds for Divorce” by Wolf Parade
“When It’s All Over We Still Have to Clear Up” by Snow Patrol
“Kissing Families” by Silversun Pickups
I’m not necessarily a huge Pickups fan, but when they have a hit, they have a hit.
Streaming
More than one song I played this episode wasn’t on streaming. One song, “Laissez Faire”, is on Apple Music but not Spotify.
