When it’s all over they’ll vote Dave Grohl as president and we’ll be pining for a return to Trumpian fuckery within a week.

Drake’s already been mentioned I imagine. Flipping lush album.
Tune! My introduction was through a Welsh language cover by Cardigan band Cerrig Melys circa 1989/90.

Possible additions:
Jim by Swans
I Go To Sleep by Anika
Year’s Not Long by Male Bonding
The Future by Tweak Bird
Rill Rill by Sleigh Bells
Something from The Phantom Band, Deerhunter, Beach House or Soundcarriers
Otherwise Gorillaz v John Grant in the final (there’s a lot I’ve not heard).
Too late?
