The First Ever Indie Album Is Still the Best | You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.

Today we're discussing Dinosaur Jr's first album, You're Living All Over Me. Released in 1987 on SST records, You're Living All Over Me is one of the most beloved rock albums of all-time and largely responsible for the formation of alt rock, indie, and shoegaze. Here, J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph crafted some of the most original and impassioned rock, with no shortage of hooks, as well as ear-piercing chaos.

Jesse Welles - Live at The Basement

Some more Jesse Welles live but this time with a whole band. Probably be posting more YouTube stuff as a whole lot of the written web seems to be pure AI trash now….

Listening to this Broken Record podcast with Tom Morello and I did not know about this concert. Pretty damn ripping.

Butthole Surfers Are BACK and Paul Leary Explains How

We interviewed Paul Leary, guitarist and founding member of the Butthole Surfers, and he walked us through each of their albums, one-by-one. Made up of core members Paul Leary, Gibby Haynes, and King Coffey, the Butthole Surfers are one of the most beloved and extraordinarily weird bands in history. But after some major-label drama in the early 00s, they are finally releasing the original version of their final album as it was intended by the band (After the Astronaut, out June 26).

The Reason Why Older Records Sound Better

“And it wasn't just the gear either—it was the high-stakes environment that no longer exists.” That’s the kicker IMO. You had to be very very present when playing to tape. You only had like 16 minutes a reel I think and everyone wanted to get it right. You could do it again and again, but not as easily as today. So there was just this build up of “Intent” in the playing.

Yup.

Just trying to avoid the news ya know? I have a cubic fuck ton of portfolio updates to get to at some point, but I have always had such a distaste for the, “look at me, lookat me, LOOKATME” hustle. I dunno, I should get to that eventually. Fairly busy oddly, which we take as a indicator that the AI slop is not actually getting traction like the corpos hoped. Bonus, “FUCK AI” shout out.

The making of Z by My Morning Jacket - featuring Jim James

Really interesting interview that made me go back and give this one a deeper listen.

“For the 20th anniversary of the fourth My Morning Jacket album, we take a detailed look at how it was made. The band originally formed in 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky by Jim James, Johnny Quaid, Tom Blankenship and J. Glenn. After signing with Darla Records, they released their debut album, The Tennessee Fire in 1999. Danny Cash joined on keyboards before the release of their second album, At Dawn, in 2001. Patrick Hallahan took over on drums as they signed to ATO Records. Their third album, It Still Moves, was released in 2003. At this point, Johnny Quaid and Danny Cash decided to leave the band so they held auditions and recruited Bo Koster and Carl Broemel. For their fourth album, they hired producer John Leckie and began recording outside of their home studio for the first time. Z was eventually released in 2005.”
