I am reading The Battle for Wine and Love, the remains of a 2000 Baumard Savennières in hand — low in acid, expected given the vintage, but drinking very, very well — and in the spirit of each I offer this live 2006 performance by The Fall. Unspoofulated for 30 years and counting. Get past the 15 seconds of Robert Plant clapping and then CRANK IT.

This Song Is a Tannat

I might be just as inclined to compare The Fall to Savennières, albeit in a higher acid vintage. Profound, lasting and under-appreciated to the extreme. The gut of Tannat is certainly there, though. Thanks for the vid.
I second that inclination! Is it any wonder I love both?
Of course, now I'm wondering what band is analogous to Bourgogne Aligoté...
