Nirvana was really good, in some ways a culmination of the grunge era that had begun in the eighties, yet they likely would have never existed without acts like the Pixies and Melvins to carve the way for them. And, of course both those bands owe huge props to Sex Pistols, Lou Reed, Velvet Underground, and many others.

And yeah, the ladies loved the Pixies. Oh my, did they ever!!

You might find this helpful in putting together your shopping list:

(nothing special about that year, that's just what I was looking at when I bookmarked the site)

Wow, that's a solid list of some excellent music, thanks! I won't be able to take it to the porch, yet I can certainly enjoy it indoors.

Hard Knock Life (The Ghetto Anthem)


Had no idea until now that the refrain the kids sing is from this movie.
ANNIE (1982) - “It’s The Hard Knock Life” Full Clip

Heh heh I can't hear that song without thinking of this…

Loong time ago my girlfriend (as it turned out) wannabe, later wife for 43 years, came home to me to copy a Pink Floyd album. Of all my albums, we selected Obscured by Clouds.




I don't think she ever listened to it again.

Another band I like: Sons of Apollo, with two former Dream Theater members: Portnoy ans Sherinian.

Here's Goodbye Divinity (Welcome Baldur's Gate 3?):

Toyah & Robert cover Velvet Underground:

This afternoon I went to the porch with a new album, well, more of a replacement as I've owned this one before, I must have lost or given it away at some time. REM, the I.R.S. Years, a really solid gathering of the songs that really put this group on the map. I still remember seeing them in some really seedy dives outside Atlanta and Athens in the late seventies/early eighties, they were most excellent in person. Once they hit college radio, they were a shoe-in forever.

This morning one of my neighbors was working on setting up some horror props for samhain, so I broke out Dr. Demento's Halloween album, and a couple of Elvira's best offerings. Had to dust them off anyways so they'd be ready in slightly over three weeks for the big day!!

It's a bit storrmy here today so I broke out the Anthrax, and regaled the neighborhood with some fine nineties vibes!

I am not sure I’d like to be one of your neighbours

The sound of white noise is pretty cool! And yeah, living in Florida isn't for the faint of heart, especially in my area.

Holy cheese… did they make that video with straight faces?

Okay if that was dancing, I'm an olympian level dancer

P.S. I like the beat of the music though.

And this morning it was the Sex Pistols, two of their albums kept time with me on the porch this morning: Never Mind the Bollocks, and Swindle. Yessir, I'm wide awake, now!!

The Who - The Seeker

To contribute, I was listening to Zappa's Inca Roads as I typed this
