This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #UnexpectedWhiplash - songs that start one way and then change. There are so many great ones people are mentioning.

The first one that came to mind for me is Helmet's 'Wilma's Rainbow' from their 1994 record Betty. It's the intro track too, it start everything off.. Page is doing this kinda simple, chill guitar thing first, a couple times, and then the guitar, bass, and drums hit you full on in the fucking FACE. And then at the end, after the most insane solo you've ever heard, it has a false ending. Perfection. And then the REST of the record. 🤯

Woke up & had a hankering for 7Seconds- threw on my favorite of theirs. Ultimate wake-up music. 'Good to Go' is 1999 strong. Had this when it came out after I heard a promo, when I was 19 in '99. I like their earlier and later too, but I feel like this one is a sweet spot- a real masterpiece. Reissued in 2021!

I featured That Dog's 1997 masterpiece 'Retreat from the Sun' a year ago for #MusicWomenWednesday, but since I determined yesterday thanks to @HailsandAles's album of year posts that it's my favorite record of 1997, I'm re-upping it. I have it #NowPlaying, yet again. Anna Waronker is the damn coolest. And how many albums have violin solos on their badass singles? Okay then 🔥

#NowPlaying Intestine Baalism's masterpiece from 1997, 'An Anatomy of the Beast'. Easily one of the best death metal records of the 90s.

#NowPlaying one more Static-X for today -- this is another single from their platinum 1999 album Wisconsin Death Trip, but I never heard this one on the radio. This is track two on the record right after "Push It", and I like this one even MORE than "Push It"-- it STILL gives me chills to this day, one of my favorite damn songs. The fucking RIFFS. And WHAT a video. You really get to see where that soundclip is from 😂

#NowPlaying The first Static-X song I heard, on the radio, in 1999, when I was 19 -- "Push It". The sound. It's unforgettable. Not even one of my top favorite songs of theirs, but still so damn badass. And then to see the video- this one's one of the greats. There's a reason 'Wisconsin Death Trip' went platinum.

Today (September 3) in 1991, the Smithereens released Blow Up. It's a very '90s album, with some interesting songs on this one. Kinda almost adult contemporary in spots. But still a ton of rock, and the unreal 'If You Want the Sun to Shine'- one of my favorite songs ever. There's an instrumental version of it that's truly wild.

CD inserts ftw. I already have an old copy of this, of course, since it's my favorite album, but I found this MINTY CD copy of Too High to Die at thrift the other day, and as a rule, I had to grab it.

#NowPlaying - 1999's 'The Sebadoh' (by Sebadoh). A truly incredible album, and as I discovered today, among a TON of great albums that came out in 1999, this one is my top favorite of them. It's my second favorite Sebadoh album all the way through, after 1994's 'Bakesale'.
