4. The Hard Quartet – "Our Hometown Boy". The Hard Quartet is an alt-rock supergroup featuring members of Pavement, Chavez, The Cairo Gang and The Dirty Three. And "Our Hometown Boy" is a psychedelic supersong featuring Byrds-like chiming guitars and three-part harmonies with a loose-'n'-grungy feel. #music
