With the Peel/BBC Sessions material being so readily available online nowadays, it’s the EP-only obscurities which are probably the least well-known HMHB songs. Ecclesiastical Perks can be obtained – expensively – online if it somehow passed you by! There are a couple of guesses towards the end, which some of you might have thoughts on. Thanks to Sanchez and Sarah

That air of “look, aren’t we dangerous”

Look Dad No Tunes is another “over-earnest band” song (I think I’ll do all of these now). References Neil Young, Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth and other earnest explorers of feedback. Say no more.

A live favourite, the short “She’ll Be Coming Round The Mountain” singalong Lock Up Your Mountain Bikes manages to fit in some classics: Garth Crooks, the swan which will have your arm off, and “That’s when you got into the Manics”. As ever: Genius.
