Big Black - Bad Penny

The Fortunes-Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again

I prefer Steve as a producer I must say.

Sameā€¦ sometimes he nails it though. Iā€™ve seen Shellac 4/5 times at this stage and itā€™s a good racket but I donā€™t need the records in my life much

Big Star - Try Again

For the day thats in it

We set controls for the heart of the sunā€¦

ā€¦ one of the ways that we show our age.

Iā€™m not sure why I never really discovered the velvet underground or listened to them properly before. Magic.

Majestic.

Nirvana - Dumb

Coincidentally I was listening to the original VU album last night. The one with the banana on the cover. Iā€™d say side 1 is one of the best album sides ever.

I started listening to them a bit there last year and more and more recently. Iā€™m at a loss as to why I didnā€™t discover them when I was a teenager spending most of my time listening to rock bands of that era.

Some times things like this can pass you by particularly as they never had the profile of some of the other bands of the era. The benefit of this though is that when you do finally sit down and listen it sounds so fresh compared to stuff that youā€™ve heard hundreds of times before.

Iā€™m still catching up on stuff I missed first time around.

Pound of pound I would say itā€™s my favourite album ever.

Itā€™s a good one alright. Loaded - the one @glasagusban was listening to is a very good album in its own right too.
