I never knew how much I loved this tom petty joint until kathleen edwards covered it

Kitty the Fool does "sad" like so few other people can. It's that little crease in her voice that tells you she's had her heart broken a time or three. (To be fair, she took years away from music to deal with depression so it's all quite real). Her new covers album is extraordinary (from R.E.M. to Supertramp to Springsteen and a duet with Jason Isbell, who also does "sad" pretty damn well). Highly rec'd etc.

Can’t believe i almost missed an opportunity to plug my covers playlist

First off, Lianne La Havas’ cover is also one of my favorites ever Some standouts (songs that I previously thought were too good to be touched until I heard these): The Fool on the Hill - Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘66 (The Beatles) I Go To Sleep - Anika (Ray Davies/The Kinks) Tempted - Erykah Badu/James Poyser (Squeeze) Hybrid Moments - Helvetia (Misfits) Perfect - MJ Lendermen/Wednesday (Smashing Pumpkins)

When your new book is finally available for preorder ❤️

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️

Unwound

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s. So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it: “Unwound is the best band of the ’90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesn’t say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasn’t stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the ’90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.” R.I.P. Vern Rumsey. This is their finest song, from their finest album. I really can’t say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. 🖤
