Smashing Pumpkins – Plume

April 7th, 2013, at 12:01 am 4 LTEs , , , ,

this weekend, my visiting mother brought a large trunk that was full of all kinds of crap i thought long gone. we’re talking, like, high school sophomore year papers, old notebooks, etc. as someone that generally disdains nostalgia, it was an extremely disconcerting experience.

1992

Neutral Milk Hotel – Song Against Sex

with my newfound interest in these guys i was surprised to find that they’ve never been played here before.

Scott Walker – Rosary

after one album in 20 years, here was the hot new single from his album tilt.

1995

Helmet – Milquetoast

January 20th, 2013, at 12:01 am Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired , , , ,

For my last day, I decided to pick a song of pretty great importance to me. I first heard this song on 120 Minutes when I was up way too late in elementary school. I was instantly in love. It was listed as being on the soundtrack for The Crow, and I went out [...]

Sonic Youth – Sunday

i couldn’t decide if i wanted 10 stars from AMR, or 1 star. i went with the former.

1998

starting tomorrow:

Ben Folds Five – Underground

September 24th, 2012, at 12:01 am Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired , , ,

Ben Folds Five reunited, they have a new record, and are touring. While his solo albums had a few moments I think the proper BFF albums are terrific. Even the new one isn’t half bad.

An old favorite, 2012.

Nirvana – School

September 5th, 2012, at 12:01 am 6 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , ,

Impromptu theme week? You got it.

Reading. 1992.

Pavement – Gold Soundz

July 31st, 2012, at 12:01 am 13 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , ,

So many theme weeks.

The Rentals – The Love I’m Searching For

July 23rd, 2012, at 12:01 am Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired , ,

Return Of from the Rentals is a pretty fun summer record.

1996.

Smashing Pumpkins – Starla

July 15th, 2012, at 12:01 am Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired , , ,

yeah, i still love this song.

1993

Hum – Stars

For AMR and really for everyone.

The Smashing Pumpkins – Mayonaise

June 26th, 2012, at 12:01 am 4 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) ,

Pumpkins came out (are coming out?) with a new album. I will probably give it a chance. Stupid nostalgia.

Beastie Boys- Get It Together

March 23rd, 2012, at 12:01 am One LTE - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , , , , ,

To piggy back off of jobu, here is my favorite Beasites tune. This is as a result of Tip being prominently involved.

1996

A Tribe Called Quest – Can I Kick It?

March 22nd, 2012, at 12:01 am 2 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , , , ,

i miss when MTV had something to do with actual music.

1991

Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit

December 18th, 2011, at 12:01 am 13 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , , ,

This is as close to a star grab as you’ll get out of me. Nevermind was released Sept. 24, 1991 – I was 11 years old. It was my first “rock” album and it was a cassette*. After one listen, I flipped it back over and played it again. After about 10 listens, I began [...]

Portishead – All Mine

December 4th, 2011, at 12:01 am 5 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , ,

Alright, this one holds up a little bit better than some of the other tunes I’ve been playing this week.

Butthole Surfers – Pepper

December 3rd, 2011, at 12:03 am 8 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , , ,

i recognize that the butthole surfers have a wide and distinguished catalog (though i must admit to being largely unfamiliar with it). technically though, they are a one hit wonder.

1996

i will also admit to this track being semi-omnipresent during the summer of `96, and that summer being awesome.

Veruca Salt – Seether

December 1st, 2011, at 12:01 am 6 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) , , ,

the first show i went to as a semi-sentient musical being (not including that aerosmith show during their get a grip tour [don't say a word]) was hole playing first avenue. in my defense, live through this was a halfway decent album for a 13 year old that had basically worshiped kurt cobain. that said, [...]

White Town – Your Woman

November 30th, 2011, at 12:01 am 9 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) ,

jobu, just remember, I played Cornershop a couple of months ago.
