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 my favorite Psychic TV LP, 'Towards Thee Infinite Beat' from 1990. This one is some wild acid house, a truly bizarre but unforgettable one from Genesis P (RIP). I like this one so much because it has a little bit of a Coil feel but of course that inevitable Throbbing Gristle feel, too, and it's all wrapped up in this great, trance-y acid house package. LOVE this one.

There were plenty of bass players before Les Claypool, and Les' stuff in and out of Primus has been incredible with some wild funk stuff, both more standard and not. But there was nothing that sounded like this before Frizzle Fry, and there won't ever be anything like this again. This shit is 100% original Claypool insanity, and we're lucky to have lived through this. The 1990s were fucking MAGICAL

Looks like I'm going through (my) #PerfectAlbums today. They're all subjective.
This one might not be some people's tastes. But to me, it's perfect.

I'm a Meat Puppets fanatic, seen em multiple times, love stuff from all the albums. But only a few of their records I find perfect. I'm not big on their super early stuff. Bits and pieces.
I dig 'Monsters' from 1989 fully, but it's not an 'anytime' kind of record for me. So the first Meat Puppets record I find perfect - an 'anytime' album - is 1991's 'Forbidden Places'.
Has some real alt-country on this one (as most Puppets records do, it's not much, among the blazing guitars). From the first seconds and minutes of "Sam" - I mean, they still play this live. It is WILD. They Might Be Giants covered "Whirlpool". This album is rad, man. From "No Longer Gone" (which was my username on Twitter for many years) 🤣 to the title track, just legendary. Underrated?

I'm not usually big on remasters (unless it's a reMIX -- reMASTERS don't really do anything extra for the recordings) but this 'Wildflowers & All the Rest' deluxe version they put out in 2020 one has all kinds of extra songs (including home recordings and live stuff), so I'm going through it today and (of course) it's DAMN good. Yet another amazing record from 1994.
Tom was such a genius. RIP 🌼

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
Nº4
2015 Europe reissue
I have completely thrown my back out.
Putting this on might be my last physical act for a few days.
I love STP so much, & Nº4 is their most underrated record, featuring probably their most underrated song in “Atlanta”.
Its beautiful, & the perfect closer for an album like this; hard rockers, Soul Girl, & Glide, which has zither on it.
It was not promoted much; Scott had to go to jail for a year.
A classic.

SUGAR
Copper Blue / Beaster E.P.
2012 U.S. 2xLP remastered reissue
As I’ve said on here before, Bob Mould is my musical/songwriting hero.
Of all of his amazing work (Husker Du, solo, Sugar), the Sugar albums are in a class by themselves.
Copper Blue is a power pop masterpiece, & to package Beaster with it is an absolute necessity.
Copper Blue also remains Mould’s most successful selling album of his career.
File Under Easy Listening is coming next.

SONIC YOUTH
Dirty
2016 U.S. 2xLP reissue
This amazing album always makes me think of the holidays, because I bought it on CD in December of 1992 from a Good Vibrations store with a gift card I had gotten for Christmas.
This is the best sounding vinyl issue of this album that exists. The remaster is incredible. Everything is quiet, punchy with an incredible soundstage.
I have this thing with album openers, and “100%” is a perfect way to kick this album off.
