Week 8: Elliott Smith’s rock band, a weird O.J. tribute, and Mitch Hedberg

Galaxie 500: I came to Galaxie 500 via Luna, the band started by Dean Wareham after the semi-legendary Galaxie broke up in 1991. I’m pretty sure it was actually Luna’s relative commercial success that

Trace Rilo Kiley’s indie-pop constellation in under an hour

A lot of American bands, intentionally or not, eventually wind up showcasing a star member: in the parlance of Almost Famous, a frontman or a “guitarist with mystique.” Beloved ’00s indie rockers Rilo

Week 9: Bill Hicks, Eminem’s mom, and a band I fell out of love with

Kristin Hersh: The first song on Kristin Hersh’s first solo album is one of my favorite tracks ever, and yet I have little interest in anything after “Your Ghost.” It’s all good, but it never lives up

Week 10: Where Kool Keith meets Low, prank calls, and a terrible jacket

Kaiser Chiefs: This British band has a ton of great songs that I never really think to listen to but would be happy to hear on the radio: “Every Day I Love You Less And Less,” “I Predict A Riot,” “Rub

Week 11: Whoa, I’m halfway there / Whoa, I don’t own any Bon Jovi discs

Tom Mabe: This is a prank call disc in which the tables are turned—Tom Mabe keeps telemarketers on the phone and fucks with them. It’s okay. Purging one.

60 minutes of Dinosaur Jr.’s stormy guitar epics

For such a guitar-driven art form, rock ’n’ roll is surprisingly low on guitarists with distinctive sounds. Many of the best players tailor their riffs and solos to the song—which is a perfectly reaso

Week 12: I used to have a ponytail, but I still have pretty good taste in N bands

Kumail Nanjiani: Remember when I said I was going to keep most of my stand-up? I lied. This package is thick, and room is at a premium. Not that Kumail Nanjiani isn’t amazingly funny—he is. Purging on

Week 13: Pearl Jam woos me, Pixies remain, and I marry The Promise Ring

Pearl Jam: As a Kurt Cobain acolyte, 17-year-old me was sort of automatically anti-Pearl Jam. They were pretenders: Kurt said so at first, and of course you could hear it in the music, which was so mu

Trampled moss and sitars: Pearl Jam’s tricky, transformational No Code

“The last time I saw Eddie, he was lying on his face…” It’s the summer of 1995 and Neil Young is standing in front of a crowd of 50,000 frothing Pearl Jam fans at San Francisco’s Polo Fields attemptin

Week 14: It’s hard to say goodbye to Radiohead and R.E.M. (so I won’t)

Q And Not U: This D.C. band came in at the perfect time to grab the torch from Fugazi—Dischord even released their records. There’s a fantastic urgency to the first album, No Kill No Beep Beep, that g

Neurosis’ Through Silver In Blood is still crushing, 20 years later

Permanent Records is an ongoing closer look at the records that matter most.

The Disco Before The Breakdown was the release that gave away Laura Jane Grace’s secret

Week 15: Many best-of-all-time discs, from Smog and Seam to The Smiths

S.: Jenn Champion—who recently changed her longtime stage name from Jenn Ghetto, citing the potential offensiveness of the word “ghetto”—was part of a fascinating, fruitful Seattle scene in the mid-’9

Screeching tires and busting glass: Defining the teen-tragedy song in 60 minutes

Almost as soon as teenagers were invented, they started dying off in droves—on the pop charts, anyway. Although the word “teen-ager” first appeared in print in the September 1941 issue of Popular Scie

Week 16: Stoner sounds, Stone Roses, and the best-worst song you’ve never heard

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin: The name is memorable (though pretty awful), but this Missouri band’s music has always been kind of in one ear and out the other for me. It’s vaguely (or maybe n

Week 17: Tortoise and They Might Be Giants both begin with T

Talking Heads: I’m not as huge a Talking Heads fan as I probably should be, though I do have that big, complete box set around here somewhere. Probably time to take that thing for a spin, and I can ge

There’s lots to love in Bruce Springsteen’s post-2000 career

When Bruce Springsteen was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1999, he reigned as one of the most influential and successful musicians ever. With a roster of enormous and lasting hits und

Felt’s caustic, captivating masterpiece cemented a genre

Hear the scope of Liz Phair’s underrated career in 58 minutes

Liz Phair’s triumph and curse is that she made a classic album. Her first record, 1993’s Exile In Guyville, was a galvanizing response album to The Rolling Stones’ Exile On Main Street that continues

Week 18: Wilco, The Wedding Present, and Yeezy all start with W

Ugly Casanova: Ugly Casanova is a solo project from Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse who, if I remember correctly, thought that it would be a good safety-net name if his main band’s major-label deal didn’t
