4. The Black Lips - Family Tree

5. 5 minutes of Jesus heckling

6. Kiran Leonard - Don't Make Friends With Good People

7. tUnE-yArDs - Hey Life

8. some Stephen Malkmus tune, I don't mind

9. Alexis Taylor - Now We Are Nothing

10. Connan Mockasin - Why Are You Crying?

11. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - How Can U Luv Me

12. tUnE-yArDs - Stop That Man

This is something I try to do every year following EOTR. Favourite live tracks from the best shows I saw. This year's playlist

[riverlodge]

cracking list Will. my self restricted top ten;

Wave pictures: Lisbon (perfect festival band doing a perfect festival singalong)

Ezra Furman: I killed myself but I didn’t die (shambolically spittingly brilliant, and great intro)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL9XAx9SaZM

British Sea Power: Skua (hard to choose, but I adore this)

Gene Clark No Other: 8 miles high (wow, just wow. and wow once more)

Sweet Baboo: walking in the rain (banter!)

Perfume Genius: bright eyes (again a stupidly hard choice to make but this in the secret set was stunning)

Flaming Lips: Yoshimi (I don’t really like them, but this was just beautiful and mad)

Futur Primitif: Kissinger’s Lips (“welcome to church” said Daniel – exactly, and then some mate)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0QcFQCYJ0k

Tuneyards: Water fountain (again, hard to choose, but this had the old couple next to me start dancing, so worth inclusion for that alone)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FffaSgh9jk8

Kiran Leonard: Geraldo’s farm (both times I saw it, but yes, Ben's dancing was 'something else')
