I woke up yesterday with Big Star’s “Jesus Christ” in my head. So on the day when some celebrate his rebirth, if you’re into that sorta stuff, I’m passing it along to you in a medley pairing with R.E.M.’s cover of the song (which includes guest Mitch EASTER). Plus, Hüsker Dü (pictured), Blue Rodeo, The Wedding Present, Kitchens of Distinction, The dB’s, The Boo Radleys, Japan, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Dinosaur Jr., Ride, Unrest, The Blue Nile, Eric’s Trip, Talk Talk, Jawbreaker, and so much more.
