Joplin’s Me & Bobby McGee

Truly one of those songs where the cover becomes infinitely more iconic than the OG. That said I’ve been collecting my fav song covers for a while so in a lot of ways this is an impossible choice but this song has been a staple for me lately

Julien baker’s cover of elliott smith’s “ballad of big nothing”

Elliott’s songs, listening to them from the remove of this many years since his passing, always sound vaguely pissed and pointed to me. Passive aggressive attack vehicles. (Don’t get me wrong I 💙 them). But Julien (one third of boygenius) sounds sad and regretful instead. What an absolutely gorgeous cover. I am clearly fond of wounded female vox taking on “damaged bad at best” indie boy rock, huh? 🤔

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. 🖤
