USCHO Music Thread: We All Have A Crush On Shirley Manson

[MissThundercat]

Days of the New: not terrible, but I do believe "Touch, Peel, and Stand" is overplayed.

[Slap Shot]

Anyone else digging Claypool-Lennon?

Mad Season was put together when Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) met bassist John Saunders at rehab. When they got out they recruited the drummer from The Screaming Trees, and then they collectively brought Layne Staley in to help the three addicts beat their addictions together.

We know how Layne's story ended, but sadly John Saunders overdosed and died in 1999 as well.

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Mad Season had promise as a side project, but Layne couldn't stay clean.

Mother Love Bone is a YMMV band. Their sound and style were more glam than grunge, because Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard were hell-bent on succeeding no matter what, and Andrew Wood was the best showman in Seattle at the time. I am a big fan of "Clohe Dancer / Crown of Thorns" and "Mindshaker Meltdown".

I've been without my antidepressant for a few weeks (F U, primary care office), and tonight, the words of Big Empty are ringing awfully true:

"Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride
It leaves today, no conversations.."

And while I'm at it, while I've been listening to Soundgarden, STP, Audioslave, and Alice In Chains today, Spotify recommends Mad Season and Mother Love Bone. What do you know about them?

[MissThundercat]

Today, I turn 39 years old. Playlist for today includes:

"Big Empty"- STP
"Machinehead"- Bush
"Learn To Fly"- Foo Fighters
"Best of You"- Foo Fighters
"Superheroes"- The Script
"Girls Chase Boys"- Ingrid Michaelson
"Afterlife"- Ingrid Michaelson
"Bad Believer"- St. Vincent

You can have her. Ingrid Michaelson is better looking.

They come in bunches. It's not mutually exclusive.

Hey I'm a big fan and I am sure the direction was horrible but come on!

No! This woman can do no wrong:



She is the one on the right. I think.

Create a T Rex station on Pandora and set it to Artist Only. They did a huge number of obscure songs that are amazing.

And you lay off ratface. It was acid reflux!

T.Rex - Mambo Sun. This song is awesome but I think even Ashley Simpson could lip sync better. =^P

btw for those of you with a paid Spotify account if you're wondering how to discover "new" music as in new releases or just new to you, the Discover Weekly and Release Radar playlists have been goldmines for me.

There's just something about this song. The general feeling of melancholia it invokes. But then there comes that incredible chorus. Her amazing vocal. Loved this song from the first time I heard it.

And it was only about a year ago I found out that that's Ryan Adams on the chorus with her.

"I been out walking, don't do too much talking"

Beautiful.

[Kepler]

Truth.

[MissThundercat]

I know Marcy Playground and Harvey Danger were one-hit wonders in the 90s, but after listening on Spotify, career wise, they have solid stuff.
