NMT 90

Watching Florida lose anything is just fun.

Does Wal-Mart sell eyeliner for like 5 for 50 cents? Country girls love eyeliner. I mean, love it. It's just odd and not attractive. It's ok; Mormon Girl beat her eyeliner addiction years ago. She's 8 years clean.


Our pick this week is a nice group of Mass-holes (that's their regional name, I don't know). They were one of the big underground bands of the late 80's early 90's. They scored a couple of radio hits after the big grunge boom and the original line-up wasn't together anymore. They were the loudest thing at Lollapalooza '93. Mind you, a line-up that included; Rage Against the Machine, Tool and Fishbone. Some of the people in our group left early (it was hot as monkey balls and one of them was pregnant and didn't know it yet. Heat + baby = badness) and they went to the Burger King down the road from the fairgrounds, if you've been to the fairground in Orlando, you'll know, that's at least a mile or so down the road. Well, they could hear them. That's loud.

The original lineup got back together a few years ago and the album they did was really good. It's significant because many believe if they had stayed together, they could have been a much bigger band. It's possible. I do know that the songs are good if a bit buried under the loud guitars.

They played here a month or so ago, but it was on a Thursday and we had prior commitments. Hopefully, they'll come back. Just because it's nice when good bands play in this god forsaken shit-hole.

This is a new song from their album that comes out this month.

So, from Amherst, Tax-achusetts:

Dinosaur, Jr. - " I don't wanna go there":





Bonus Tracks:


"a boy who won't swim, but who will dip his toe in..."





Well, of course she did. Everyone does. Eventually.

Well I can't hear anything on the first clip (I'll recheck it when I get home, don't have the best cellular coverage inside this fancy new office bldg). I like the second clip, who was that? Wilco, I can take or leave this band though this is a decent tune. I know they have a decent following. Funny story- this recruiter I was working with last year to find a new job, her son is in the Wilco group. Not sure which one he is.

Well I don't know about *awesome*, but it isn't bad. It is a small town. End point. :)
-Small towns are nice for some people. But you can't have an opinion unless it is the right opinion. hehe
