Shit, I just need to share this with anyone who hasn't seen or heard it. The band sounds great, but the highlight is McCready putting everything he has into a solo he's played 1000 times over the last 30+ years. Fantastic.

Heading to the West Coast this morning, so some required listening...

According to the description, "one of Australia's best songs" and I would have to agree.

Sadly relegated to "one hit wonder" status thanks to the success of the single "Banditos" (give your ID card to the border guard, now your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard), I always thought this followup was the better song. One of my favorites on an album loaded with great songs.

Was reminded of this album while listening to the first track of @[email protected]'s new album. Dump is a side project from James McNew of Yo La Tengo. Quite honestly, this collection of Prince covers is all I've ever listened to, but it's great.

When creating an image post, the post text is white. It's not like this when creating a text post. I've tried changing a bunch of settings where I'm using white, but I just can't find this one. Any ideas?

I can't quite remember how I got from Velvet Underground's "Pale Blue Eyes" to this, but here we are.

I just thought "Nature Boy" needed some company.

DHBC is a band based around Portland, Maine. I've known these guys for some years now, some more than others. But I've always loved their music and songwriting. If you enjoy this, I highly recommend checking them out on the streaming platform of your choice.

At this point, Elliott Smith had already released two solo albums and was a year away from a whole lot of people knowing his music thanks to Good Will Hunting.

I JUST started dipping my toes into Heatmiser, and I owe a long overdue apology to my roommate from 20 years ago, Bill. I didn't get your complete obsession with Elliott Smith at the time, but fuck if I don't now. I should have listened to you.

I had been aware of Jellyfish existing and that they were one of those important bands that never quite found the success they should have. But it wasn't until maybe last year that I spent any time listening to their albums.

Holy shit, I love this song so much. I've literally spent entire car rides just listening to it on repeat. The melody and vocal performance are addictive. The "knock three times" drums. That main little guitar riff. And the most 1990s of music videos!

Lincolnville (previously Car) was a band based around Portland, Maine in the late 90s. This song and another (Heavenly Calm) from the same album got a decent bit of radio play here. Our local alternative station was also a great supporter of local music.

Anyway, every few years, I rediscover this song and album and get obsessed with it all over again. To this day, I still can only make out about ⅓ of what he's saying.
