As viewers around the world get caught up on season 3 of The Good Fight (especially this episode), Elastic No-No Band’s lo-fi acoustic cover of Nick Lowe’s “Raining Raining” keeps finding new converts, which has secured the song’s perch at the tippy-top of the Weemayk Top 20 for another month. Speaking of Nick Lowe, some tunes from Duck the Piano Wire’s tribute to the man known as “Basher” have resurfaced in the lower reaches of the Top 20: “My Heart Hurts” (#16) and “Let Me Kiss Ya” (#17). Only 2 chart debuts this month, and they’re both relative oldies that have recently picked up additional steam. Higher up the list, we’ve got Joe Crow Ryan’s 2012 rendition (his second, by the way) of the old standard, “How High the Moon” (#13). And just squeaking in, we’ve got Elastic No-No Band’s collaboration with Maeve End from 2010, “Hey 2-Eyes” (#19). (Something is up with tumblr’s coding right now, so I can’t put the Spotify playlist at the top of the post; instead it’s embedded at the end. Hopefully, you’ll be able to enjoy it either way!) Weemayk Music Top 20 (Spotify streams, mid-May 2019 to mid-June 2019) 1.

No major shake-ups in this month’s chart, but it’s nice to see a little bit of movement among the holdovers and a few chart re-entries and debuts to break up the monotony of these summery dog days. Club Mate has seized his highest chart position so far with his cover of Thomas Patrick Maguire’s “Papertown” (#7). Meanwhile, three deeply buried catalogue tracks have surfaced for the first time in Top 20: Elastic No-No Band’s solo acoustic cover of Elvis Costello’s “Deep Dark Truthful Mirror” (#10), Huggabroomstik’s melancholy epic “Invitation to Leave” (#16), and Joe Crow Ryan’s signature rendition of the jazz standard “No Regrets” (#17). Weemayk Music Top 20 (Spotify streams, mid-June to mid-July 2018) 1. Thomas Patrick Maguire - “Go to Hell” [same as last month] 2. Thomas Patrick Maguire - “Just a Bastard” [chart re-entry] 3. Elastic No-No Band - “Everyday I Write the Book” (Elvis Costello cover) [same as last month] 4. Thomas Patrick Maguire - “Oh America” [down 2 spots from last month] 5. Joe Crow Ryan - “All Along the Watchtower” (Bob Dylan cover) [up 6 spots from last month] 6. Elastic No-No Band - “I Want to Hold Your Hand” (The Beatles cover) [up 1 spot from last month] 7.
