I wasn't going to do one of these, but I was driving around late tonight listening to his music and this song came on and I decided I had to. This is from a few years ago when Soundgarden reunited.
Videos
Temple of the Dog – Say Hello 2 Heaven
1990
M83 – Steve McQueen
Mr. Bungle – Travolta
Me, trying to figure out this week's theme:
30 Jul 1999
Nirvana – Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle
I should be safe with this, everybody here likes Nirvana, right?
Girlpool – Chinatown
Girlpool's got a new album out, though this is not from it (so technically I won't add the "new music" tag; come at me).
2016
Pallbearer – Thorns
One of the issues with metal videos is of course you're not going to have many super-pristine Jimmy Fallon appearance recordings (or KEXP, for that matter). Which is why I'll probably keep containing these to the weekends.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Fire
Burn, baby, burn.
9 Jan 1969
Apparently the boys had a rough go of touring the second time around in Sweden. According to Noel, it was due to exhaustion, boredom, and the biggest problem: no drugs, man.
Eleanor Friedberger – He Didn’t Mention His Mother
Lonnie Knight & Reid Papke – Unsung Heroes
A long-time fixture on the Minnesota scene, Lonnie Knight died on Sunday.
12 Jan 2011
While doing a little research on this, I also found out that Jack Pearson, another Minnesota musician, passed away in April. I bet you a googleplex that some around here are familiar with him.
