Probably shouldn't waste this on a Sunday but not sure there's any really great live vids of it anyway

Elvis Costello and the Attractions – This Year’s Girl
The Feelies – Slipping Into Something
I couldn't find any evidence of The Feelies being played here before so here you go. Nice Saturday Morning song, with a guitar jam at the end.
Fun early video. These guys were a great, kinda cultish, band that mostly played on the east coast but made forays west as well. Their discography is on all the streaming services if interested.
Demi Lovato – Trainwreck
Took the first thing I could find called "trainwreck"
Wimps – “O.P.P”
No, it’s not a cover.
I struggled pretty hard on narrowing this down to one song, but this came on and I couldnt’t get out of my head and I figured that’s as good of a criteria as any. Every Wimps album is really fun; super hooky power pop about getting old basically. Their new one, Garbage People might be their best. If you enjoy this song, you’d probably like the rest. Check ‘em out, they don’t get nearly enough love.
The Buzzcocks – Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down – Astonished Man
The clever name got my interest, but the music got my attention. Here's one from the new album.
