Loving this list of songs. It would pair nicely with some Teenage Fanclub. Looking forward to the upcoming psychedelic track off of the great Yoshimi album!

It says "Red Ram" but believe this song "Odessa" is by the band Caribou, off their album "Swim." Love the song.

Right, Odessa! Back in the days it was popular on Radio 3, the chorus "she can stay" was sometimes heard, or quipped, as "chickensteak".

@Benoit I have some fond memories of singing the misheard "chickensteak" lyrics with friends in a tour van causing through Quebec

Oh yes, it's one guy. How cool is that? For live shows Dan has a group of touring musicians that interpret the songs, so that's probably why I'm thinking of Caribou as a band.
