Time travel back to the early ‘90s via the mechanism of rock music with this track that captures a distinct vibe tied to that long-ago age.

New on #WellMadeWeb: Light From A Dead Star.
The musical fansite is an old genre, and still it lingers in an underground of its own. Light From A Dead Star is such a site dedicated to Lush, the British shoegaze pioneers. The website hosts a trove of resources - hundreds of interviews and thousands of photos - compiled from magazines and press releases during the band's heyday in the early to mid 90s.
#NowPlaying some afternoon focus music.
I'm a huge Butthole Surfers fan, and this is the first record of theirs I owned. It will always be near and dear to my heart

February 23, 1999 ~ Slim Shady releases The Slim Shady LP. Almost instantly it becomes a classic, Slim Shady becomes one of the most controversial figures in music and the album ends up at #275 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Good morning. 
Time for a classic 90s alternative metal tune.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Anemone
#BrianJonestownMassacre #90srock #psychedelic
One of my all time favorite songs. From their excellent album, "Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request"
Supersonic Club (Paris, France) is welcoming us again.
It will be on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at 8 p.m.! And we'll be 6 on stage: Lara, Olivier, Paul-Aimé and Hugo, but also Félix (2nd guitar 
) and Magali (cello 
)!
See you soon!
Today (and possibly tomorrow, if I don't finish it today) I'm listening to the full chronological discography of the Smithereens/Pat DiNizio solo records. Not including the cover records they/he did (Beatles, Buddy Holly, Who, etc) or the compilations - just EPs and full lengths. Also trying a couple live records of theirs (one is a bootleg) that I haven't heard yet. Even though the Smithereens are my favorite band, I'm notoriously averse to live records of any kind (although I love shows). But I'm gonna try em. The whole thing is like, 9.5 hours.

Looks like I'm going through (my) #PerfectAlbums today. They're all subjective.
This one might not be some people's tastes. But to me, it's perfect.

I'm a Meat Puppets fanatic, seen em multiple times, love stuff from all the albums. But only a few of their records I find perfect. I'm not big on their super early stuff. Bits and pieces.
I dig 'Monsters' from 1989 fully, but it's not an 'anytime' kind of record for me. So the first Meat Puppets record I find perfect - an 'anytime' album - is 1991's 'Forbidden Places'.
Has some real alt-country on this one (as most Puppets records do, it's not much, among the blazing guitars). From the first seconds and minutes of "Sam" - I mean, they still play this live. It is WILD. They Might Be Giants covered "Whirlpool". This album is rad, man. From "No Longer Gone" (which was my username on Twitter for many years) 
to the title track, just legendary. Underrated?

Just saw this clip and I vividly remember watching this live on Letterman as it aired in 1994, when I was 14. For a kid like me growing up without cable in the middle of nowhere, Letterman & Conan were the best ways to see new, often semi-underground bands on TV in the 90s. Not that STP was underground at this point. But you get what I'm saying.
Spacehog, for example, I saw first on Letterman. That kind of thing.
Since @wendigo reminded me this year is the 30th anniversary of Tom Petty's MASTERPIECE 'Wildflowers', I figured it's time I finally post this.
I want to talk about 1994 for a minute. I was 14. They say the music that comes out and that you like in your teens sticks with you for the rest of your life, and I've definitely found that to be true. I was thinking about that the other day, and then I started looking at the records that came out that year.
1994 was a WILD year. Kurt Cobain died (on my birthday, and I was a big Nirvana fan at the time). But the year was RIDICULOUS for music and it produced some legendary masterpieces of albums that have stayed with me my whole life like friends, guiding my way.
Here are these MAGICAL fucking albums, in the order they were released in 1994. And this isn't even ALL the great albums released in '94. Just my favorites. It's wild to be alive in a time that all of this came out. I can't imagine having to write a best albums of 1994 back then. Check this list. 
Jar of Flies (January)
Too High to Die (January)
Dookie (February)
Mellow Gold (March)
The Downward Spiral (March)
Superunknown (March)
A Date With the Smithereens (April)
Weezer (blue, May)
Purple (June)
Betty (June)
Same As it Ever Was (June)
Bakesale (August)
Stranger Than Fiction (September)
Chocolate and Cheese (September)
Monster (September)
Pisces Iscariot (October)
Wildflowers (November)
I mean, what a LIST.
This little banger from 1995 just popped in my head and I had to pick up a guitar and play it a bit. I was 15 in 1995, and that year and the year after, my first band used to warm up with this one. Great playalong track. Catchy, simple - Matthew's a genius, man. This one and 'Girlfriend' too. Wifey hadn't heard this and felt it has a Gin Blossoms vibe. She's not wrong!
I'm not usually big on remasters (unless it's a reMIX -- reMASTERS don't really do anything extra for the recordings) but this 'Wildflowers & All the Rest' deluxe version they put out in 2020 one has all kinds of extra songs (including home recordings and live stuff), so I'm going through it today and (of course) it's DAMN good. Yet another amazing record from 1994.
Tom was such a genius. RIP

I realized that any female-fronted band I hear I automatically compare to my two favorite records made by ladies, Last Splash from 1993 and Elastica from 1995. Those two records are so perfect, it's a problem, because other stuff I hear so rarely comes close to that. 
I love it when weird bands make it onto radio with singles that don't sound like the rest of the album. I'm imagining all the people who probably bought a copy of Incubus 'Make Yourself' because they liked the chill, mellow almost fully acoustic single "Drive", only to play it and be smacked in the face with the heavy, weird funk of the first track on it, "Privilege"
They just barely made the 90s with this one, but it still counts

I love this Bryan Adams song too. So heartfelt. It is something I like a lot about a lot of old timey rock n' roll, lols. The 90s were a good decade, though I'm partial to other decades as well.
