Notes:
- All too often, I play the Pixies cover of Head On, but I think the original version by The Jesus And Mary Chain deserves some love, too.
- There is a new Elliott Smith compilation out, from his Kill Rock Stars years. It’s a nice intro if you’re not familiar with his music.

- What’s that? You’ve never listened to Saint Etienne? Well, the reissue of their album, Good Humor, is as good an introduction as any.
