Honoring the bands and musical artists that left an indelible mark, and returning the favor on record. Plus Alex Chilton deep-dive by fellow 'Stacker Brad Kyle
Oy. Yeah I should have thought of that yesterday when I was writing it. Good pick and I’ll mention it in my next post. The year has started pretty shitty for music icons passing.
Thanks, Steve! As always, a pleasure to work with you! I'm amazed to discover I really only knew about the Van Morrison song, and vaguely remember Weezer's "Buddy Holly"! It'll be fun to catch up on all the famous-name songs I knew nothing about!
It's also reassuring and relatable to hear that Minuteman, Mike Watt, never heard from Michael Jackson...I feel like that's exactly what would have happened to me had I asked MJ to....well, do anything! Nicely done...I look forward to the next installment!
Thanks Brad! (Autocorrect tried to change your name to Vlad.
Further proof that Apple is run by the Kremlin.) It lacked much personal story other than seeing The Replacements in concert but I hope to add more in then next one!

A bit off menu, but what about LCD Soundsystem's "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House?"
I’ll allow it. Oh wait, this isn’t my my house. 🥁
Daft Punk is a proper name. I know cause I check ID the door for all house concerts!
PS. Meant to say, I'm also in the Cake loving camp, particularly their incomparable cover of 'I Will Survive'
Given the recent, sad news I must suggest adding 'Tom Verlaine' by Alvvays 😢
