Robyn Hitchcock (featuring Emma Swift) - Live from Tubby's House, Nashville, TN, 24 - 8 -2026 | Albums That Should Exist

 Robyn Hitchcock & Emma Swift - Live from Tubby's House, Nashville, TN, 8-24-2026

Paul says: Ever since at least the Covid pandemic beginning in 2020, Robyn Hitchcock has performed a lot of home concerts. Generally speaking, I haven't posted them because they were behind paywalls, and artists like him need ways to make a living. But about two weeks ago as I write this in early September 2026, Hitchcock posted a home concert on YouTube that's available for anyone. I've converted it from video to audio and chopped it up into mp3s, so you can enjoy it as an audio bootleg. 

In July 2026, Hitchcock released an excellent new studio album, "The Confuser." It's his best in years, in my opinion. Yet, in typical contrarian fashion, he barely promoted it at all in this concert. He only played one song from hit, "My Dead Astronaut." Instead, this was a requests show, and he and his partner Emma Swift were looking at Internet requests as they came in live and performing some of them. So he tended to do lesser known songs.

Speaking of Swift, she is an excellent singer herself. She sang harmonies on a good number of the songs. She also bantered back and forth with Hitchcock between most of the songs, but I didn't carefully listen to the talking tracks to see which ones involved her or didn't. 

 

Hitchcock and Swift did another one of these concerts for YouTube on September 2, 2026, and I have plans to process and post that one as well. 

This album is an hour and 31 minutes long.

St. Vincent - Cover Versions, Volume 1: 2006-2016 | Albums That Should Exist

 St. Vincent - Cover Versions, Volume 1: 2006-2016

Paul NOTEs : Today, I'm having trouble getting the cover art added in. I hoping and assuming this is some technical problem that will soon resolve on its own. When it does, I'll add in the image. 

I started to be familiar with the music of St. Vincent when I posted her Glastonbury performance in August 2025. But I didn't know she did a lot of interesting cover versions until musical friend Lil Panda tipped me off. He sent me a bunch of covers. I took that and ran with it, finding a bunch more. In the end, we came up with enough for three albums worth.

One thing I like about her covers is she has a wide range of influences, and often some lesser known ones. Check out the below list to see what I mean.

This album is 50 minutes long.

These are the original artists for each song: 

01 These Days - Jackson Browne / Gregg Allman
02 Dig a Pony - Beatles
03 Sleep All Summer - Crooked Fingers
04 Every Drop of Rain - David Byrne & Fatboy Slim
05 Need You Tonight - INXS
06 Never Tear Us Apart - INXS
07 Tango Till They're Sore - Tom Waits
08 She Is Beyond Good and Evil - Pop Group
09 Some of Them Are Old - Brian Eno
10 Early Autumn - Woody Herman & His Orchestra
11 Make Believe - Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks
12 Lithium - Nirvana
13 Emotional Rescue - Rolling Stones

Here's the usual song list: 

01 These Days 
02 Dig a Pony 
03 Sleep All Summer (St. Vincent & the National)
04 Every Drop of Rain (David Byrne & Fatboy Slim with Candie Payne & St. Vincent)
05 Need You Tonight (Beck, St. Vincent & Liars)
06 Never Tear Us Apart (Beck, St. Vincent & Liars)
07 Tango Till They're Sore
