Should be a cool best of;Rhino does a great remastering job too and very cool pictures and linear notes.Their X anthology a few years back had Pee Wee Herman talking about X!
There`s supposed to be a Uncle Tupelo best of too coming soon on Rhino,that should be great.Thanks for mentioning "You don`t own me";should have put that to my Musical recycling thread.
Shudder To Think once did a song called "Own Me" which is based on the Leslie Gore song,so might want to check on that out;it`s on their "Pony Express Record" album.They put their own lyrics to it and kind of wreck the original.
I will check out that site,den buck;thanks for mentioning it.Here`s what I`ve been listening to recently:
Eggs-Exploder-their 2nd album,they did another album called exploder a few years after this.Steve Albini once called them the most boring band he ever heard.I don`t think they`re too bad;if you like Unrest you`ll dig them.
Blood Oranges-Corn River-there`s 2 bulls on the cover,that gets cool points from me,they were a Boston alt country band;their bassist/singer Cheri Knight has recorded some solo albums on Steve Earle`s label.Too bad she did`nt sing lead on this,mostly backing vocals here,the guy does most of the lead vocals,and I don`t like his voice.
Replacements-Tim-great music,the Replacements were fantastic,everyone should check them out,it took me long enough to buy an album by them but I`m glad I did.
Oh Susanna-self titled ep-some gothic hillbilly music,very cool,along the lines of Gillian Welch.
Birddog-A Sweet And Bitter Fancy-more acoustic stuff,folky indie along the lines of Elliot Smith.Yeah it`s been cool for me here too.
I`d like to thank all the freakscene homies for their comments,insights,outlooks on life,etc.
This is a great site,the best MB there is.Thanks for that Spaceboy.
King of the losers?I don`t know;This is one of those writers that you don`t know is praising J or dissing him,or both.Jaron-
Sgt. Pepper`s is one of my fav Beatles album,I always used to laugh about Mr. Kite;Pee Wee`s Playhouse had Mr Kite,I always thought about that song.Sonic Youth do a cool cover of"Within you without you" on a Sgt. Pepper`s tribute album.
Ramones debut album is great,a blueprint for thousands of bands.An album that changed alot of lives.Jaron,if Allison was`nt married I`d ride my horse out west and carry her off into the sunset.
But Allison sounds happily married to Voodoo guy so the chance will never come.
I`m too tall anyway,Allison would hurt her neck looking up at me.Everybody`s derivitive.
The classical composer Busoni once said"There is no new."
It`s seems originality is hard to find,but I think what J was drawing from,he evolved it into his own style-Sabbath,Zeppelin,Hendrix,Ramones,Minor Threat,Wipers,Stooges,MC5,VU,Neil Young,Meat Puppets,Sonic Youth,etc.J took all that stuff and developed something new I think.Listen to the amount of Indie bands out there that use J`s melodies and guitar chords;or guitar solos,J introduced guitar solos in the punk/indie/alt world.There is so many bands that use Dinosaur reference points,like Eric`s Trip,Swervedriver,Afghan Whigs,Teenage Fanclub,Bettie Serveert,Rein Sanction,Ripe,etc.
SY`s Steve Shelley said that Thurston and Lee learned alot from J,and SY was recording before Dinosaur was.In terms of J fans that are female;I once was in a music store back in 94 and two teenage girls were looking at the Dino Jr cd`s and looking for a picture of J,they were saying how cute J was,etc.I guess that proves Evan Dando is`nt the only one that has female fans swoon over him.
The two girls both had band t shirts,one was wearing a Nirvana shirt,the other a Faith No More shirt.Oh yeah Sonic Youth and Pavement;Alot of us are SY fans including our webmaster,Jeremiah.
there is some Pavement fans here too,we`ve been discussing recently the Malkmus solo album.Welcome to the boards Elise;it`s always cool to have new members.
Halfman-Puke And Cry was the first Dino Jr song I ever heard too.I was`nt in Japan though,the funny thing when I heard it was the guy who was playing it at the local colege station did`nt even like Dino Jr.He was playing them to descibe his vacation.
Hope you learn to play Keeblin,good tune.
I noticed that you mentioned your other favs;Hum-RD and myself are the resident Hum fans,if anyone else likes them they should speak up.
MBV-myself,Mattman,Eggwater and problably a few others here are fans.
Swervedriver-Allison(AGAP) and myself are the resident Swervedriver fans.I`m about a 8.5
Did you read my alien story Jaron?I never saw any but think I might have been taken.
Look back in the open topic pages if you have`nt read it."The average Dinosaur fan is a lanky guy"-yeah,that`s me
"with glasses"-no,never had glasses.
"Discheveled hair"-what the hell is discheveled?
"And a perpetual look of bewilderment"-yeah,I look like that when I listen to J.
"They are tall"-yeah,I`m Thurston Moore`s height.
"They wear faded Mack truck t shirts"-no,never had that,never even had a band t shirt.
"they play guitar forlornly in their studio apartments"-what is a `studio` apt.?
"Amid immense collections of late 60`s vinyl"-I have some late 60`s vinyl,but not immense.
"Copies of the Albion Moonlight"-whatever that is.
