Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

I was going to say, you could probably stream it or YouTube it, if you weren't sure you'd like it.

I do like "Hunger Strike," so it wouldn't be the first time I bought an album for one song.

But I'm in search of more music to listen to anyway, so I'll just put it on the list.

Then when I have some extra money, I will check it out.

Temple of the Dog's Vevo mix on YouTube.


ETA: or just the album here. The sound quality isn't the greatest.

Sorry, but Temple of the Dog is a classic. The whole album.

You shut your godd*mn dirty mouth!!!! "Hunger Strike" is NEVER an earworm.

OK.

Now I have King Missile's "Detachable Pen-s" stuck in my head. "Even though it's a pain in the ***, I love having a detachable pen-is..."

"Hunger Strike" by Temple of the Dog.

That's... not a bad earworm to have...

Spread Eagle - Spread Eagle

In 1989/1990, a NYC hair band tries to blend the inner city sleaze of Guns N' Roses and Skid Row, with a whiff of Pantera. The band succeeds musically, but gets zero backing from MCA, and it's too late to matter.

"Switchblade Serenade" is their would've-been hit (it's a rocker with an acoustic intro that isn't quite as "in your face" as a lot of the other tracks), and still gets regular rotation on SiriusXM Hair Nation. The whole album belongs in any genre aficionado's back catalog - these guys would've blown 80% of their candy-arse peers off the stage.

"'Style' is just making the same mistake again and again.

Shine.. has a bit of that I suppose, but to pigeonhole an immensely expansive track/album into such a narrow description would be quite myopic.

Yeah… I don't think the Wish album sounds "dated" or at least not to the extent late 60s psychedelic stuff does. That musical style just seems so trite and cliché at this point. At least for me. They were all parroting each other and it all sounded the same.

For instance… The Beatles… the album Yellow Submarine sounds dated in a way that Sgt. Pepper's does not. And they came out in the same year if memory serves.

If I had never heard either, I could immediately tell you that YS was from the late 60s. SP's would be much harder to nail down.

Plus… that psychedelic music was a means to get to an end. All of the bands that came up in that era, played that style and continued on to become anything worthwhile did their best work afterwards.

Even being a Deadhead, I could never stand the Haight era Dead. It's interesting (somewhat) as a historical matter and that's about it for me.

It was always comical to hear the lazy narrative about modern day Deadheads supposedly reliving or reviving the 60s counterculture. Um… no we weren't. The only thing similar at all was mind expansion. Otherwise we were on the road finding our own adventures enjoying a band that sounded nothing at all like what they did in the 60s in a scene that in no way whatsoever resembled anything from the 60s other than the relics (casualties) here and there that were still hanging around.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

I remember one day, was listening to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and my bro walked in, and asked "What's with the Science Museum Omni Theater sh*?"

So yes, some of it is dated, but overall, it's fantastic.

I could see it. If you're the kind of person who finds those nature albums of ambient whale noises sexy.

Well played.
