Answers to Joe's random quiz #2. I'm not surprised no one got it, but "Concrete and Clay" is a personal favorite, probably the catchiest British invasion tune in my mind. The Pulp track is a nice little song on a consistently excellent album, but in that context doesn't especially stand out. I'm not surprised at the higher conversion rate this time, as I suspected this bunch had fewer obscure tracks. I'm probably good for one more version before exhausting the unique artists on my playlist.
