The Smiths | A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours
Guitars out, keys in. An audacious move which, of course, invites tantalising thoughts as to how a fifth Smiths album might have sounded.

22 - From the 1980s
The Cure
Push
The soaring outsiders anthem that’s something of a best-kept secret for Cure fans.

Girls | Vomit
This kitchen-sink live take of Girls’ gospel-powered magnum opus is real hairs-on-the-back-of-the-neck stuff. It’s not often you see a backing singer get a standing ovation from the band, but it’s certainly deserved! 🔥🔥🔥
youtu.be/sLDk4SxbDRw?...
Yeah - it’s a fabulous record, full of great songs.
Yes! Great shout! Absolutely love this album 👌👌

21 - A cover version
The Bangles
Going Down To Liverpool
A tighter, janglier & sassier take on the Katrina & The Waves original.

Daft Punk ft. Julian Casablancas | Instant Crush
Controversial take: this is the best thing that either Daft Punk or Julian Casablancas have ever done.

Chilly Gonzales & Jarvis Cocker | Tearjerker
CG’s second appearance here & I happen to be in the Steel City today.This is exquisite, with not a note or word out of place.

Tune - the flamenco breakdown is 🔥🔥 🔥
Likewise mate. I actually think it’s Elliott Smith’s best album (most fans would say Either/Or, I reckon). The songs are just so good & suit the fuller arrangements so well 👌

19 - From your favourite album*
The Smiths
Still Ill (Hatful Of Hollow version)
The BBC session/live versions on this record, such as this, are insanely good.
* with the usual caveat 😜

Air | J’Ai Dormi Sous L’Eau
The Premiers Symptomes EP served notice of the nonchalant brilliance which was to come.

OMD | Electricity
The first of a sensational run of singles.
youtu.be/Y43XLVqjytQ?...
Absolutely mate. It’s an outrageously good piece of work. Talking of Divers btw, the title track is definitely one of the best things she’s done as well 😍
What an album 🤩😍
Happy 26th birthday to the extraordinary Figure 8 🎉
Possibly the most influential album in my musical life!

Deliciously dark & atmospheric, my #1 DM tune (as promised, @billcanacci.bsky.social 👍).
youtu.be/QE06bCEJd7Y?...
Such a great record 🔥🔥
Nice one Bill! I trust life in 🇦🇹 is good! Thanks for the DM shout as well - I do know that track, which is great. ABF also contains my favourite DM song, which by way of continuity I will post as my #sweetkeys choice tomorrow 👍

Elliott Smith | Pretty (Ugly Before)
Considering the circumstances, this is an almost unbearably beautiful piece of music. For me, it’s Elliott Smith’s greatest track.
