    A debut single that put the biggest possible flag in the ground, and a cover that shows up with its own ideas. Mr Brightside, originally by The Killers, covered by Hauskey.

    Feb 17 2025

    A song that was a point of transition which lead to a future that nobody expected, least of all the band behind it, and a perfect tribute. Southern Accents, originally by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, covered by Dolly Parton.

    Outro music is Rebels, also by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and you can’t tell us that isn’t a great line.
