Sleater-Kinney, ‘Jumpers’ (had to be a live recording, and the ones filmed from the crowd are better at capturing how Corin’s voice comes in like a tornado):

and fuck me, this is a bootleg of the first time I saw S-K in a tiny upstairs room where the sweat was dripping off the walls. I suspect I am in this photo.

The Telescopes, ‘You Set My Soul’ (discovered via a Select Magazine compilation tape; unlike most of their other stuff; someone once called it ‘shoegaze jazz’. I know this track as intimately as a lover and still discover new things in it.)

[ I found out that Agnes Obel supported The The for a handful of gigs in the US back in 2018 and had I known I would have flown out to one of them and by the end would have needed medical attention — no, I would have died, it would have been too much. ]
