Yesterday, someone walked into the café I was sitting in wearing a Primitives t-shirt. Today, their wonderful “Crash” came on my random streaming mix, so it seems appropriate to share one of the great pop songs of all time.

A highlight of our road trip through Western Europe has been my daughters singing along to Lucinda Williams’ “Car Wheels on a gravel Road”, the Mekons’ version of “Wild and Blue”, and Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” as well as songs from “Hamilton” (along with, yes, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran).
RIP Daniel Johnston.
@TheMekons make the world alright, briefly, at the 100 Club, London.
At least there are still the Mekons, now reporting from the desert at Joshua Tree. My favourite band in one of my favourite places.
RIP Scott Walker, possibly the only person ever to write a song about a brown dwarf (an astronomical object, heavier than a planet, lighter than a star).
