Been holding out on playing this for a few weeks, but I keep listening to it over and over, so now you can, too.
Videos
Melt-Banana – Infection Defective
I started this post about 7 months ago and found it in the drafts. I have no idea what the inspiration to play it was...

Raekwon & the Roots – Incarcerated Scarfaces
We're missing the actually good Minnesota sports team, right? So...here is something from the Wu-Tang member's seminal 1995 album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... - get it??? (I know it's Sunday, but this is extremely Not Safe For Church, or Work.)
You Me At Six – The Swarm
I'm a big lacrosse fan. Definitely not just a bandwagon follower. I hear the Swarm are going to have a great team this year!
2013
The National – Santa Clara
There's always the St. Paul Saints, so this is for them. Sort of.
There are two National non-album tracks with the word "Saint" or "Saints" in them, but I couldn't find any good quality live videos of either of them. So here is one with the Spanish equivalent instead. And I made it 5 months before playing another National video, which is probably too long.
Aretha Franklin – United Together
You're right, DK. There are plenty of other franchises to fall back on.
Phosphorescent – Wolves
I suppose I forgot to do any season-ending tributes for the basketballers a couple weeks ago, so here's to them, too.
The Moody Blues – Your Wildest Dreams
One of these days the Wild will make it past the 2nd round. One of these days...
1986
Beach House – Wild
I heard hockey season is over, so I guess we better pour one out for the squad till October or whenever.
Joy Division — She’s Lost Control
From 1979. Punk could be arty too. This is one of my favorite performances. So raw, yet multi-layered. Ian Curtis has these dead eyes which foreshadows his plight. No one has ever matched his dancing at the mic.
