i have a playlist called 'songs brad nelson has described as best in the world' and thought there was a thread for it (because where else would i get it?) so i guess this will have to do
"cloud city" is like... the best song i've ever heard

I don't know where else to go, I can't tell what is good or bad anymore, I need help.
I figured Brad has strong opinions and I need someone like that to tell me if this extremely 90s band lost to time is very good or very bad.
I've been weirdly obsessed with this song in particular. Let me know if I'm crazy.

not at all, not even i understand this thread. never heard of mrs. svenson in my life but that song sounds great imo. good drummer
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 4 February 2021 21:11 (three years ago) link
They never really came to be as I understand it. Some demos and an album that ended getting aborted in 1995. It's so of its time, but I am totally addicted to the hook.
― Evan, Thursday, 4 February 2021 21:17 (three years ago) link
Disclaimer: I know this looks like a pathetic way to pitch my/my friend's band or something promise no affiliation. Just had to share
Anyway thanks for weighing in.
― Evan, Thursday, 4 February 2021 21:52 (three years ago) link
listen i still have a video of a friend's band's set from eight years ago bc they never ended up recording any music and i loved their songs so much, i inherently get it
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 4 February 2021 22:00 (three years ago) link
So much good music unrecognized out there...
But hey always fun to discover and dig it up again from the corners of the internet or wherever. A lonely exercise though (like geeking on "Mrs Svenson" of all things in 2021)
― Evan, Thursday, 4 February 2021 22:11 (three years ago) link
my son's pediatrician is Dr. (Mr.) Svenson ... i will have to ask him about this next time we see him
― alpine static, Thursday, 4 February 2021 22:22 (three years ago) link
Ha! wouldn't that be something. Have him send me one of their old demo tapes.

on the subject of songs loved by a very small number of people that I think might appeal to people who would open this thread, one of my very favorite songs, written and performed by a local band who opened for snail mail here and appeared to be about, well, snail mail's age:

Hi Brad. Back with another obscure 90s act. I'm getting increasingly restless about being the only fan of this band on ilx and I thought of you, mainly because when listening to this album in particular (for the millionth time in my life) I was reflecting on how it shares a sort of similarity with bands like Hum or Deftones for their own dreamy angst rock thing, though with pop-punkier roots. Maybe you'll like it. I might even start a thread for them and hope that people get curious due to their (now) unfortunate name.

Separately last night I told Brad that this song by some Welsh 17 year old would suit and I stand by that:

Yeah wait is "this years SLIFT" supposed to be Fucked Up or Rhododendron? Because I could really use a 2021 SLIFT in my life. The former I'm waiting for my physical copy to get here, the latter is new to me.

sorry, I should clarify. played through the rhododendron last night and thought it was SLIFT-y at times. it's also king crimson at times and refused and smashing pumpkins and hum. it has a lot going on but was a lot of fun. after it ended I felt a lot like I did when I finished the Slift album, it was a psychedelic journey through space but was always rockin'
― gman59, Wednesday, 9 June 2021 17:31 (three years ago) link
The Rhododendron bisnes mildly too widdly for me, Fucked Up obviously immense, yeah maybe I tolerate the widdle in certain contexts...
