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

    Pearl Jam’s new single is interesting. I’m curious to hear the rest of the LP.

      Heard it on The Current (89.3 in MPLS) and IIRC it was Jade who was DJing at the time, and said it was Talking Heads-esque. I can't disagree with that. It sure doesn't sound like Pearl Jam, that's for sure. I'll have to hear it a couple more times before deciding if I really like it or not. As of right now...meh at best.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        Assuming we're talking about Dance Of The Clairvoyants, I like it. It has some vaguely Brian Eno elements but it is far more hard rock than funk. It sounds more like Danny Elfman than David Byrne.

        They tuned their guitars major rather than minor and everybody freaked out. Grunge is dead. Leave discordance to Wagner.

          As much fun as these guys were I never really appreciated how good they were.

          Also, Daryl Hall is way cooler than I thought.

            Pearl Jam was never really grunge, they just came out the same time as some other Seattle grunge bands were transitioning to more mainstream (or some formerly more hair-metal esq bands like Alice In Chains were being influenced by the grunge sound). Stone Nd Jeff were in a grunge band “Green River” before Mother Love Bone, but MLB was more glam rock influenced. The “real” grunge bands were Mudhoney, “Bleach” era Nirvana (by Nevermind they were departing from the super slow grunge sound)

                  Sure they were.

                  There's a great documentary of Sub Pop where a music critic plays a riff, inverts one note, and says, "that's grunge." It was always a gimmick but I still liked it.

                  Even Flow is grunge having unprotected anal sex with hard rock.

                  Yellow Ledbetter would be grunge except grunge was never that good. Let's say it's grunge being taken to school by an old blues guitarist.

                  Jeremy sucked and was the Platonic ideal of grunge.

                  Black is grunge at its most interesting (and got incredibly overplayed for it).

                  Daughter could be any 60s band playing with untuned guitars.

                  Nothingman is a terrible Dylan song which I assume was written as a parody.

                  Soon Forget is a ripoff of The Who's Blue Red and Grey but it's OK because Vedder has said he adores that song (as do I).

                  So PJ is grunge, but they were talented enough that they were also many other things, which is how it is with good acts.

                    Grunge was first used to describe Mudhoney, because of very slow tempo with dirty guitars. Eventually record companies cashed in on the hype and called every Seattle band grunge even if they didn’t have the signature sound developed in the late 80s Seattle underground scene. It became a meaningless marketing term that had nothing to do with the sound of the band, only the city they were based out of.

                        I love the grunge or grunge labeled big 4.
