Apparently Taylor Swift might be dating a football player? Anyhow, she was at one of his games recently which was apparently enough to bring in viewers and make it the most-watched sporting event of the week. I don’t know much about Taylor Swift but I do know this: in every single photo taken of her at this game, she looks like the kind of person who is cheering only after someone explained to her that what just happened was a good thing for the team.
Anyhow, busy times and so last week and this week are combined again. This is a good thing, as I went to a GREAT gig this past Wednesday and, per the rules, I also get to add a song from each act I saw. As such, we’ve got new songs by Upchuck, New Ends, and a new(ish) dub remix for The Slackers.
Remember that you, YES YOU, can also participate. Just follow the instructions at the bottom of this post to submit YOUR picks to add to our mixtape.

Here’s the scoop: TGEFM staff are trying something a bit different for 2023. Instead of separate weekly playlists of what we’ve been listening to, we’re launching a year-long playlist, one that will grow each and every week as we add more songs to it. Our requirements are to first submit one NEW song released within the past month, and then one song released at any time. If those two criteria are satisfied, then we also get to include ONE SONG EACH from any band we may have seen live the past week. We’ll get the playlist updated on/around Sunday of each week.
READER CONTRIBUTIONS: Yes, you can make your voice heard. You just need to follow the same requirements TGEFM staff are beholden to in the previous paragraph!
