@misterminsoo also, I hate to use the "you had to be there" argument, cuz it's false and annoying, but Fugazi in the '90s in no way felt like a watered-down version of hardcore or noise -- they felt like a new way of thinking about hardcore

Never really liked Fugazi. Way too tame. When I first heard the music I was so confused like, oh people like this because it’s watered down versions of all the noise rock, post-hardcore, and other Dischord bands from the time. Feels proto-Turnstile (the newer albums) in that way.

Hive Mind of Heads: I'm in desperate need of calming instrumental music. Nothing anxiety-inducing at all. I love free jazz, but I'm thinking its exact opposite right now. Send recommendations, please!

@nakedfoul What if the cover of that one Get Fuzzy paperback collection had riffed on Slanted and Enchanted instead of Are You Experienced

Young people think TikTok kicked off the resurgence of Pavement's popularity, but the heads know the real cause: a character based on me wearing a Pavement T-shirt in the "Get Fuzzy" newspaper comic strip, circa 2008.

Will be driving 250 miles round trip this weekend to see Natural Information Society. And I'm happy to do it!

@nakedfoul I heard there’s a rumor going around that some people are listening without particularly talking about it.

"Genuinely insane" that nobody talks about this album, as the kids say.

@nakedfoul Some would argue that this would clear that particular bar.

Found another album from 1995 that's better than Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Just one of the many 1995 rock albums that are way better than Melon Collie & the Infinite Sadness

Tomorrow I’ll be in New York City 🤙🏼 If you want, drop some quintessential NY songs to get me in the mood/that fit the city’s pulse. It’d be appreciated.

"Generational" quickly overtaking "slop" as a word that's lost whatever meaning it once had

Saturday night question. Can you think of a song from a band you like with a guest vocalist, that doesn’t sound forced or weird, sounds like it’s just meant to be? The wonderful Tindersticks with the fabulous Travelling Light, for instance youtu.be/zFfOgtTEji4?si…
