These guys are out on tour again. Not much for recent, higher quality videos yet, so we might as well put one up from the day.

This record (and Hey Babe) always runs together in my mind with The Lemonheads It's a Shame About Ray. They all came out around the same time with a lot of overlap in musicians and production cats.

And this record makes me think of Belly because I discovered them at the same time.
Belly spent a coupla years on my "Maybe buy it" list, but I never did.
I, erm, had a cassette tape of Star that a friend recorded for me from her CD. I associate that album so completely with being eighteen years old that I don't know if I could actually listen to the whole thing now. In any case, I don't have it anymore; I'm pretty sure I tossed it in the Great Cassette Tape Purge of '13.
Star was autumn of my sophomore year in high school, which is why I can't listen to it anymore
I have Star and still listen to it occassionally. It's decent and still holds up. I have a fun Throwing Muses story that I can regale sometime at a mini-caucus.
A friend and I used to joke about and improv scripts for what the sibling dynamic must have been like between those two, Mostly because we were giant dorks.
were?
actually that's not fair ... I don't know your friend.
I listened to Star a quintillion times in the first year after it came out. I'm pretty sure it was one of the first four CDs I owned.
Then they came out with King, and I figured "I'll pick it up later." Apparently so did everyone else, and Belly was pretty much done.
A shame as I always thought King was the stronger album.
By the way, using the term "Belly band" in a search is not useful when looking for information about the band named Belly. (I of all people should have known this. The moment I hit "enter" I realized my mistake. The results aren't terrible or anything--just not relevant.)
This was my favorite cut off that album:

This doesn't surprise me. It was my second favorite behind the title track.
The title track is prolly my fave, too, but the whole (30 min) album is pretty sweet.
(I actually went and dug out my K-M crate of CDs and snagged IaSAR for upload. Julianna might be in a crate over at the studio.)
Was wondering where I'd heard Hatfield recently - the Repository tells me it was as half of Minor Alps with Matthew Caws.
