3. Songstowearpants.com/Andrew is Music
   …which includes a song a day project. Some are surprisingly good.
4. Crass
   Bewildering that I didn’t spend more time listening to Crass earlier, but that’s the case. Making up for lost time.
5. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
6. The Ukranians
   Not just the Smiths covers! But the Smiths covers are sublime.
7. The Ms. Fits
   Yes, it’s an all-female Misfits tribute band
8. The Futureheads
9. Be Your Own Pet
   …just broke up, dammitall.
10. The Ergs!
    A snotty/stupid-smart pop-punk outfit squarely in the Descendents/Vandals mode that I somehow missed unitl now. The B-sides-and-such compilation Hindsight is 20/20, My friend, among other nuggets, redeems The Gin Blossoms’ “Hey Jealousy” from guilty pleasure territory, rendering it a pleasure, pure and simple.
