My pet "who the **** is that?" band is Energy Orchard, an Irish band from 1990. I have met one British guy who remembers them. Their one/first album is just damned fine stuff.

Hope Sandoval has such a lovely voice. Paradise Circus would be just an average song without her.

I'm going to see Bayside this Tuesday at the PlayStation Theater in Times Square. One of my all time favorite bands, I think they are in Philly this weekend and I'd highly recommend checking them out. Say Anything is the opening act as a bonus.

Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt
Maybe I need to give Weekend in the City another spin. I was so excited when that record came out and so disappointed by it when I actually listened to it that I've come to despise it.
Try the song "Hard to Explain". It somehow conjures up the same sense of nostalgia as "1979", at least for me.
I'm not the biggest Pumpkins fan, (Siamese Dream is a good record but MC&TIS is an overwrought mess, which I guess is maybe the point, but really, Billy, did you need to write a Nirvana song and give it one of the most pretentious song titles in history?) but "1979" effortlessly captures that feeling of being young, no matter what generation you're a part of.
I also have my issues with U2, and I think I'm a bit younger than you so I preferred 90's irony to 80's sincerity, but "Acrobat" is a total sleeper off of that record.
I'd forgotten about Superdrag. Liz Phair is another one whose first album is a masterpiece that she never was able to live up to afterwards. And Superchunk at the Troc ~95 or so was the single best show I've ever been at. You basically didn't have a choice, you had to pogo or you were going to get trampled.

They made some weird (bad) choices on the songs to release as singles, with the exception of "One" and "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?" The songs from 3 to the end on both sides are great. And yes, I'm old enough to call them "sides"That was my favorite band growing up, along with The Police. Their sincerity made a lot more sense in the context of the 1980s.

I went through an emo/pop-punk phase but that's all in my rearview mirror at this point. Just can't relate to the songs anymore.

I haven't heard that name in a long time. I'm pretty sure I saw Bap Kennedy do a solo gig in Hoboken in the very early 2000s. The only other time I remember hearing his name in the last 10 years was when he got Shane MacGowan to do a song with him.
I need to check them out more thoroughly. Thanks.
Oh man, yes. There was nowhere to go but down from Exile, but it's still a shame.
I have the feeling we were at a lot of the same shows. I've barely been to the Troc in recent times, but it still feels like the venue where I have the most fond memories. That WDRE era was the last time I listened to the radio.

RIP Chris.
I was never into grunge very much, but that song utterly rules.
RIP Chris.

The shows were phenomenal.
Some stuff I never expected them to do, like River of Deceit. Never in a million years did I expect to hear that done live.

I was too young to be into the grunge scene when it was happening, but I've always loved it since I began listening to music. Even though Soundgarden was probably my least favorite of the "Big 4", I can't deny that they left their own unique imprint on it. Additionally, Cornell was one of the best rock singers of all time. This is really a huge loss for music.
I don't even like elctronic music, but this is doing things to my mind. Especially on studio headphones.

Anyone in Central Jersey or on the NJT Northeast Corridor be advised that you can get tickets to see Iron Maiden at Prudential Center tomorrow for $15 on SeatGeek. Thank God for all the suckers who MUST see a basketball game where we all know the end result in advance.
