4. Jon Langford, Sally Timms and Robbie Fulks at the Hideout on Sunday night.

Loerzel: “Most of the songs at Sunday’s show came from the Mekons’ vast discography, including a few deep cuts. It was cool to hear Fulks adding his acoustic guitar leads and solos to these songs, and he even sang lead vocals on the classic tune ‘Sometimes I Feel Like Fletcher Christian,’ usually sung by Tom Greenhalgh. (That’s one of the songs you can hear in the appearance Langford, Timms and Fulks made on WBEZ.) And it was really lovely to hear Timms sing one of Fulks’ songs, ‘In Bristol Town One Bright Day.'”

5. Yoko and the Oh No’s at Martyrs’ last Saturday night.
