Trying to figure out what percentage of these albums were recorded while wearing sunglasses

xpost Jars of Clay is from Nashville, which is where Adrian Belew has a studio/lives. It's weird to think of King Crimson jamming away in some weird corner of Music City.
"Dust" is actually a pretty solid album, like "Black Love" pretty much what you'd hope from its predecessor (which is very underrated, that "Sweet Oblivion")

I've grown to enjoy the Superunknown stuff but I think "Pretty Noose" was the first and last Soundgarden song I liked at the time it came out

Trying to figure out what percentage of '90s alt albums are in any way defensible once you've read the lyrics.

first PUSA album is a classic. maybe it hasn't held up all that well but it's at least as good as "Nevermind" isn't it? I cannot seperate that album from Domino's pizza and Mountain Dew and Goldeneye 64 and the Ice Age Magic set, it all goes together to me.
IMO the one that got half-deleted "Freaked Out and Small" was actually very good. I still like 'em..

I would just like to note that apparently the title track of Wax Ecstatic is actually "Wax Ecstatic (To Sell Angelina)"

i'm just going to remove neil entirely then cuz broken arrow has great stuff but he kind of stopped being "alternative" after mirror ball, imo.

i'm listening to "tiny music" right now and this is OTM:
"Tumble in the rough" -> "big bang baby" - > "lady picture show" is a pretty awesome 3 in a row.. "Ride the Cliche" is great also.

I went to a PUSA show two years ago and literally everyone I saw was in their mid-20's. "People born in 1986" is basically their whole audience.

i'm pretty sure i saw the "This Town" video on 120 Minutes. i'm also pretty sure it's the single worst song on any of these albums.

yeah, Neil was still headlining horde and doing crazy, post-sonic youth versions of "Like A Hurricane" in Jim Jarmusch directed footage, but if I was going to put a song from Broken Arrow on this it would be "Big Time" or "Music Arcade" and neither have anything to do with the other shit on the playlist while "I'm The Ocean" at least has Pearl Jam on it.

re: Factory Showroom, I pretty much only know the 3 songs they did on their live album a year or 2 later, but "SEXXY" "XTC Vs. Adam Ant" and "Til My Head Falls Off" are all decent IMO

I'd be more worried if 'Strange Attraction', 'Club America' or 'Bananafishbones' was her favourite Cure song, really.
― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Thursday, 3 May 2012 21:15 (eleven years ago) link
