about

When you look at statistics for what we play on Pipeline! each year, you find that we average more than 800 bands that get airtime. It's easy to confuse bands with that much bouncing around in my skull. When I first encountered Hands and Knees, it was the same week I found Hats and Glasses (Tommy from Babydriver's old band), and for the longest time I mismatched their sounds and names. More than a decade and four band sets on Pipeline! later, that confusion doesn't happen.

With this Pipeline! @ Home series, it's a challenge asking bands since it's a supreme challenge to get them to collaborate in anything resembling a live setting without more technology than most mortals have access to. So for this set, Hands and Knees' songwriter Joe O'Brien nestled into his attic and recorded a live set solo that is longer than last week's two combined.

I gave him two requests instead of one, because my favorite song of theirs is a Christmas single and I thought he'd scoff at the idea (but instead started the set with it) and their last album had a song ("Gravity") that actually name drops me in the lyrics. For a cover tune, Joe took a fun stab at Richard Thompson's "Read About Love," a song more about Thompson's wry lyrical approach than his guitar pyrotechnics, which put it right in Hands and Knees' wheelhouse.
