90s guitar college rock indie... The 80s are back now so lets hope this comes next?

seriously, 'two in the pinata' must be one of the great lost 90s records, it's up there with swirlies' 'they spent their wild youthful days...' except much more lost

I'll check it out!

A guy I work with used to be in Toenut (he did the tape loops). They ARE awesome.

Jawbox! Slackjaw! Jawbreaker!

fucking seriously I'm not gonna shut up about this record

the bassist died shortly afterwards in a motor wreck, and he's fucking excellent here, so there's another reason to give it a spin

TOENUT

I always meant to check out the full album. I got "Test Anxiety" off a comp back in '97 or whenever and I still jam to that song. I can imagine they're awesome.

it's on Spotify. both albums are incredible, but the second more so

Test Anxiety is pretty awesome

first album suffers a bit because 'Seizure' up front is such a staggering standout, I think - second album is an absolute riot all the way thru

Toenut kicks ass.

think two in the pinata might be even better than '...glittering world of the salons', and coming from me that's a monumental call

TOENUT

staggering fucking album. keep saying it until yall wise

New Further comp:

YES.

That band needs recognition- no matter how much anyone might think they're a poor man's Dino Jr.

It's all about "Quiet Riot Grrrl" really. Of my top 10 favorite songs in that genre.

they had a lot of filler but super griptape is a great rec

Isn't that their most Dinosaur Jr-y? I don't have that one yet.

their best imo, yeah quite dinoish

does honeyblood fall under the purview of this thread? the album's growing on me

i dunno but that album is excellent imo

see also TS; Alvvays vs Honeyblood

Had this Flower song float into my head today for some reason. Owed a huge debt to Sonic Youth but it's a good album nonetheless.

Album was called Hologram Sky btw, came out in 1990. Don't really know too much else about 'em.

Pre-Versus, right?

oh right, i never knew that! can't say i ever listened to versus. any good?

yeah!

This was my favorite Versus song back in the day. I don't know that they've aged all that well. Like Small Factory, they were kind of great in a particular place and time, outside of that...not so much.

i was looking at some old SPIN issues on Google reader and the writer in there tears apart that Fudge album, the one with the really grotesquely 90's cover.

it's pretty decent though

Oops, missed this revive. That Fudge album is great. "Drive" is all time.

wow, evan, you were a prophet. now i know who to blame!

Don't shoot the messenger

i actually dig a bunch of it. there are a lot of local bands here that do it well. my pal abby made a new video for local heroes potty mouth.

my pal sal has a cool new album out too. i've known him since he was a toddler.

the guys from the band sediment club brought a ton of 90's guitar rock to my store this year. i just like guitars and since regular rock doesn't really exist anymore, i will take all the dino/seb/helium action people want to throw out there.

a new day is dawning...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW2APDMXUOk

just a big ol' stew of 70's/80's/90's/Now in that clip.

Ha, for sure! I liked that they played "Thorn" at that show as well.

What do you mean "regular rock"? I have my own idea, but...

Taxidermists is pretty great! The slow parts sounded like Codeine.

Toenut became Tyro and made an album, Audiocards. I wanted to hear it. It isn't ANYWHERE online so I had to buy the CD. This is the first time I've HAD to buy a CD in what seems like an age.

Anyway, Audiocards arrived today and it's completely wonderful and maybe only a few hundred people ever heard it idk. SO GREAT

fucking amazing

I can't find my Pest 5000 CD :(

It's springtime so I'm injecting the 80s/90s jangle indie into my veins again

And wtf I lost my Pest 5000 CD as of 2016? I totally forgot. It's gotta be around somewhere...

I have both, which one are you missing?

Both as in the lp and compilation? I have a digital copy of the lp but for sure need the compilation!

Palimpsest? OK — DM me your address, and I’ll mail it to you (when conditions are once again favorable for mailing things).

is this the thread with the most Further talk or is it on The Summer Hits thread(s)?

...because I heard Dinosaur Jr's 1997 non-album single "Take a Run at the Sun" and holy shit, that is such a late-era Further song.

Hey I'm down to talk Further all day. I'll have to check out that Dino Jr song... interesting to hear a sentiment where the tables turned involving those two bands.

I know, that's what's so surprising, it sounds like one of Brent's songs from 1995-1996. But it's also pretty-atypical Dinosaur Jr I should add, it was recorded for an Alison Anders film and then released on its own, kinda sunny beach pop. I'd never heard it before today (I fell off the DJr bus around Where Ya Been).

my pal sal has a cool new album out too. i've known him since he was a toddler.
