Test Cards is the electronica project by Lee Nicholson (ex Formula One). I love his solo projects so much.

You should. This interview mentions that the song is about Gary Stewart from Rhino Records and his cousin Joe Harvard too. Harrowing stuff :(

"The song’s anthemic quality seemed right to me as it’s an elegy to some remarkable people," Joe Pernice says. New album 'Who Do You Believe' is out April 5.

Your post today is kind of linked to mine.
I don't know if you bought it but I'm sure I remember telling you a while back that there's a tribute to David Berman on Joe Pernice's last solo album.
