Uncovered on Sunday

Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) - The Arcade Fire. The first track from their first album, Funeral. I know it's unlikely that anyone reading this hasn't got this album but if you haven't listen to this. The rest of the album is just as good, a really consistently good album, you should buy it immediately.

Work - Mo Tucker. From the album Life In Exile After Abdication. That's such a great album name for an ex-member of The Velvet Underground. It's a shame that Mo Tucker's solo work is so over-looked. Of course it's hard to make something when you'll be compared to Lou Reed and John Cale's solo work as well as The Velvet Underground. But it is a shame because her first three solo albums (Playin' Possum, Life in Exile After Abdication and I Spent a Week There the Other Night) are all pretty much essential purchases.

Seether - Veruca Salt. The first single released by Veruca Salt, it was a pretty big hit at the time in the US, but didn't really trouble the charts in the UK. John Peel was a pretty big fan of it though and if it's good enough for him it's good enough for me and for you.

Chickamauga - Uncle Tupelo. From Uncle Tupelo's last album, Anodyne. If you've never really listened to Uncle Tupelo you're probably expecting this to be an alt-country song. Not at all, it's a pure rock song and a very good one.

Living After Midnight - Judas Priest. So, one of my closest friends is a huge fan of Judas Priest. I came across a cover of Johnny B. Goode and played it for him. He loved it of course and I thought it was pretty good. So I posted it on Covers for Sunday without really thinking about this. This is one of the few songs by them I know, so this is it. I'm sure there are plenty of better choices, but I don't really have the willpower for an in depth conversation with my friend about their discography. This, in case you're interested, was on the album British Steel. Once upon a time British Steel was a real thing, but not anymore. Thanks Maggie,

Battle For The Sun - Placebo. From the album of the same name. It's Placebo, you know exactly what you're going to get. If you like Placebo you'll love this and if you don't then, you won't.
