The Radio Dept - closing scene, 2008

"Love this song. You are my favorite band and have been for so long."

The Lightning Seeds - life's too short, 1999

"Originally conceived as a one-off experiment for respected longtime producer Ian Broudie, his expertise in the studio and sugary voice made for easy hit-making, so Lightning Seeds took on a life of its own. Ten years later, we now have his fifth effort, and the magic is still there. Broudie has an uncanny flair for pure pop, and Tilt is no exception. He seems to be trying to attract a younger audience with the club-anthem sound of the “Life’s Too Short” single, which sounds a bit campy, but it’s forgivable."

Frightened Rabbit - holy, 2013

"Songs dedicated to Hutchison released after his death include Coldplay's "Champion of the World", Dan Mangan's "In Your Corner", Spanish Love Songs' "Routine Pain", Mystery Jets' "Watching Yourself Slowly Disappear", Dave Hause's "Bearing Down", Biffy Clyro's "Unknown Male 01", and The Lone Bellow's "August", co-written with Aaron Dessner, who produced Frightened Rabbit's album Painting of a Panic Attack. Dessner also wrote the song "Hutch" from his band's Big Red Machine second album, 2021's How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last?. "A Wave Across a Bay", from Frank Turner's 2022 album FTHC, was written after the musician had a dream in which "Scott came into my room with a guitar and showed me a few chords and a few words and some melody". Deacon Blue have dedicated their 2020 track Weight of the World to Hutchison. James Yorkston's 2023 album with Nina Persson and The Second Hand Orchestra, The Great White Sea Eagle, includes a song dedicated to Hutchison titled "A Sweetness in You".

Black Pumas - chronicles of a diamond, 2023

"bursting with colorful experimentation and pure musicianship that showcases a diversity that wasn't present on their debut"

Damien Jurado - in a way probably never, 2023

"he can let his stripped-down acoustic guitar chords mingle and intertwine with lovely orchestrations. That, and the fact that his voice is just the right amount of “understated” while still retaining a mysterious, almost unexplainable allure. That last part is probably why Jurado can get away with crafting shockingly simple tunes from time to time, such as the aforementioned “A Buildings Kind of Building” or a good chunk of “In a Way Probably Never” – the latter of which is quite close to Neutral Milk Hotel’s “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” in chord progression and rhythm."

Electronic - the patience of a saint, 1990

"Although Neil has written and recorded a couple other songs with Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner as part of their Electronic project ("Getting Away with It" and "Disappointed," with Neil singing lead on the latter), this cut from the 1991 Electronic album is the only one on which both Neil and Chris are co-writers and performers. As Sumner himself has said of this song, Chris "wrote a lot of the music." Thus it merits inclusion here as a "Pet Shop Boys track." The narrator (or perhaps, as we shall see, narrators) of this song is something of a bastard, set in his carefree ways, who admits that he's difficult to live with."

Pink Floyd - summer sixty-eight, 1970

"a catchy, fast and happy pop tune written and sung by Richard Wright" that's "one of the few songs Wright has ever done for Pink Floyd and it's actually pretty fine."

Club 8 - hush, 2015

"One of the most upbeat songs on the album, “Hush” brings in the second half. Compared to “Jealousy Remains,” the darker song before it, “Hush” is poppy, catchy and undeniably upbeat. The instrumentals in this track are similar to those in “Late Nights,” but the vocals don’t fall to the side in “Hush,” remaining dreamy, but a little more energetic."

Coldplay - don't panic, 2000

"Don't Panic" is a song by the British rock band Coldplay. Originally titled "Panic", the earliest known version of the song existed in 1998, performed live during the band's first gig in the same year. It had a different melody, and was included in the band's second EP, The Blue Room. The track was reproduced by Coldplay and British producer Ken Nelson for the band's debut album, Parachutes."

The Durutti Column - neon, 1990

"A cult artists’ cult artist, he’s not necessarily unknown. Acting as sideman for Morrissey on his solo debut Viva Hate certainly put him on peoples’ radars, and he has the distinction of being Wilson’s first signing to Factory Records, though not really a bellwether of the kind of music they’d be known for. Indeed, one Durutti Column record wasn’t necessarily a bellwether for any subsequent Durutti Column record."

Surf Rock Is Dead - as if, 2017

“New York City can be isolating and all inclusive simultaneously; choosing to jam-out with your band mates rather than making friends is just a small facet of the experience in a world where genuine connections with people are increasingly hard to find.”

Chumbawamba - homophobia live mdk zgorzelec, 1994

"the song remained a regular part of Chumbawamba's live set from its initial release in 1994 up to the band's retirement in 2012. Live recordings of the song are featured on Chumbawamba's two live albums Showbusiness! and Get On with It."

Frazier Chorus - all the air, 1991

"Original names for the band included both Fishing For Clouds and Plop!, but the band eventually settled on Frazier Chorus, a phrase they'd seen on a jacket for the Frazier College football team's cheerleaders in the United States."

Saint Etienne - a good thing, 2005

"We were rather excited when Sarah’s song was picked by Pedro Almodovar for the party scene in Volver."

Such a great song!

Helladusty - my funny bones, 2023

“My Funny Bones” is a lushly engaging single from Helladusty, the project of Livan Becerra. Nocturnal synth whispers and a steady bass line complement a yearning vocal presence, as guitars and backing glistening bolster an uptick in vocal emotion around the one-minute turn; the stylistic arsenal here reminds fondly of Toro y Moi. The Spanish spoken-word elegance adds further to the hypnotic appeal amidst the jangly guitar tones, with further synth-laden twinkling dazzling as well into the second minute."

The Streets - weak become heroes live, 2018

"Weak Become Heroes" is a song by English rapper and producer Mike Skinner under the music project the Streets. It was released in July 2002 as the third single from their debut studio album, Original Pirate Material."

Dido - closer, 2003

"Life For Rent is no masterpiece, but it has the same kind of sweet, unassuming, girl-next-door charm that made its predecessor such a smash hit"

Bifff - sinking in, 2023

"bifff Nashville, Tennesse"

The Cure - a night like this, 1985

"A Night Like This" contains a saxophone solo by Ron Howe from Fools Dance."

The Moody Blues - eyes of a child part two, 1969

"Unlike part 1, this is a hard rocker, though a bit abbreviated at 1:20. The lyrics for the chorus are the same as part 1, but the music is entirely different."
