Part 17 in the 7″ played alphabetically series which started February 2018 and has sporadically run since. The next few episodes play catch-up on A-E, which have already been covered in earlier shows, but which now have many more candidates than were available when those early shows were recorded. The songs that keep coming back to me from today’s show are by Action Suits, Alternate Learning, The Anemic Boyfriends, Benett, The Blue Stars, Tracy Bryant, and Capri (who to my surprise sound a whole lot like a band I like lots, The Farmer’s Boys). Love the Ash cover of Helen Love track Punk Boy. ALL the tracks could be singled out as faves.
