“Not Strong Enough” – boygenius
\nThis is what I’m talking about! The first set of songs from the upcoming boygenius album each featured a different lead singer. On this one, Phoebe, Julien, and Lucy all take turns. The result is wonderful.<\/p>\n
“Crusher” – Taleen Kali
\nYou know a retro-head like me is going to enjoy the hell out of a song like this that is loaded with post-punk goodness.<\/p>\n
“Watermelon End Credits” – John + Jane Q. Public
\nI can’t find much out about this song or this act. I dig this song, though.<\/p>\n
“Layla” – Unknown Mortal Orchestra
\nYou go, UMO, making a song titled “Layla”!<\/p>\n
“Surely Everything’s Alright” – Sunnsetter
\nA gorgeous track like this was made for spring. Which is coming, I have been told.<\/p>\n
“I Fought the Law” – The Clash
\n“I Fought the Law” – Mike Ness
\nA different riff on the angle I introduced last week. Instead of an original and a cover, I offer two covers. First, The Clash’s take on The Bobby Fuller Four classic, presented in its greatest format: a live recording. Then Mike Ness, a Clash-head if there ever was one, with his take, which adds just a touch of twang.<\/p>\n
