Looking forward to these. Usually I attend the party after it's made it into the history books. Like The Fall, because they're mentioned in Jens Lekman's "Maple Leaves," about miscommunication: "And when you said 'the fall' I thought you were talking about Mark E. Smith."

But the reverse was true with Death Cab for Cutie: I discovered them early because of their use of history, i.e. this song by the Bonzo Dog Band: https://youtu.be/qKXsrWrmbAg (so old it's in black-and-white).

Your posts help keep me up to date--many thanks.
