Posted at 2:14 PM on June 19, 2008 by Steve Seel

"I dunno why I think these make up a unique musical neighborhood," writes Mark Fahey today. "I wouldn't mind live there though," he says - "as a renter."

1) The Replacements, "Here Comes A Regular"
2) Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, "Nobody's Baby Now"
3) Chuck Prophet, "Soap and Water"

Well done, Mark!

Now ... is it time for you to put together a set?
