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.

Evan, Saturday, 30 August 2014 01:17 (nine years ago) link

their best imo, yeah quite dinoish

katherine, Saturday, 30 August 2014 03:03 (nine years ago) link

ten months pass...

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.

feargal czukay (NickB), Wednesday, 29 July 2015 13:25 (eight years ago) link

Pre-Versus, right?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 13:54 (eight years ago) link

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

feargal czukay (NickB), Wednesday, 29 July 2015 14:02 (eight years ago) link

yeah!

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 14:06 (eight years ago) link

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.

Evan, Thursday, 10 December 2015 15:42 (eight years ago) link

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

scott seward, Thursday, 10 December 2015 16:29 (eight years ago) link

Don't shoot the messenger

Evan, Thursday, 10 December 2015 16:39 (eight years ago) link

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.

scott seward, Thursday, 10 December 2015 16:52 (eight years ago) link

a new day is dawning...

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

scott seward, Thursday, 10 December 2015 16:53 (eight years ago) link

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...

Evan, Thursday, 10 December 2015 17:16 (eight years ago) link

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

Evan, Thursday, 10 December 2015 17:21 (eight years ago) link

five months pass...

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

imago, Thursday, 9 June 2016 22:08 (seven years ago) link

I can't find my Pest 5000 CD :(

Evan, Friday, 10 June 2016 01:19 (seven years ago) link

three years pass...

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

Evan, Friday, 15 May 2020 21:10 (three years ago) link

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

Evan, Friday, 15 May 2020 21:11 (three years ago) link

I have both, which one are you missing?

Inadequate grass (morrisp), Friday, 15 May 2020 21:15 (three years ago) link

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

Evan, Friday, 15 May 2020 21:34 (three years ago) link

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

Inadequate grass (morrisp), Friday, 15 May 2020 21:44 (three years ago) link

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.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 17:46 (three years ago) link

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.

Evan, Wednesday, 20 May 2020 18:31 (three years ago) link

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).
