Jake in the desert<p>Looks like I'm going through (my) <a href="https://c.im/tags/PerfectAlbums" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PerfectAlbums</span></a> today. They're all subjective. </p><p>This one might not be some people's tastes. But to me, it's perfect. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF0yIDuA63HW_poHh4aIyAmJovdFOgl0w" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF0</span><span class="invisible">yIDuA63HW_poHh4aIyAmJovdFOgl0w</span></a></p><p>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.</p><p>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'. </p><p>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? </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/MeatPuppets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeatPuppets</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/90s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>90s</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/90sRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>90sRock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/1990s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1990s</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ForbiddenPlaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForbiddenPlaces</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/90sAlbums" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>90sAlbums</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/90sBands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>90sBands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/90sRecords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>90sRecords</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CowPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CowPunk</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AltCountry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AltCountry</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PsychRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PsychRock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CurtKirkwood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CurtKirkwood</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://gladtech.social/@skullvalanche" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>skullvalanche</span></a></span></p>

Jake in the desert<p>A pretty great moment in my life, in 2018, I saw the Meat Puppets for the third time and dragged my wife (she HATED them 😂). But we were right next to the stage, and she is SO DAMN COOL that she got this AWESOME footage of them playing one of my favorites of their songs, 'Severed Goddess Hand' - solo and all. Wow. Curt Kirkwood is a guitar GOD.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq4Ice_Jg4k" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=hq4Ice_Jg4</span><span class="invisible">k</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/MeatPuppets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeatPuppets</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PsychRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PsychRock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AltCountry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AltCountry</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CrescentBallroom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrescentBallroom</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Phoenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Phoenix</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AZ</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PhoenixArizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhoenixArizona</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PhoenixAZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhoenixAZ</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CurtKirkwood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CurtKirkwood</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guitar</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AmazingGuitarists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmazingGuitarists</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GuitarSolos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GuitarSolos</span></a></p>
